How can I learn to repair electronics?

One of the things that I love about being able to build electronics is that I can also REPAIR electronics =)

I often get the question:

"How can I learn to repair electronics?"

My response is: Learn to build electronics.

​
The reason I say this is because repairing electronics consists of two phases:

  1. Diagnose the problem
  2. Fix the problem

And when you build electronics, you do these two all the time!

In about 9 out of 10 projects I build, it doesn't work the first time.

So I have to "repair" it.

First I have to figure out why it doesn't work... (diagnose the problem)

...then I have to make it work (fix the problem)
​

When you learn to build electronics, you'll learn how to identify components. And you learn how these components work. And you learn about voltage, current, and resistance.

All of which are handy skills when repairing electronics.

Last but not least, you'll learn to research.

When building electronics, you'll often encounter problems that you don't know how to solve.

Like how to use an operational amplifier/how to choose component values/etc...

When that happens, you have to investigate to figure out how it works.

You can use books. Internet. The Ohmify forum. Etc.

And eventually, you'll figure it out.

Same thing with repairing electronics. You'll often need to do a lot of research.

So if you want to learn to repair electronics - learn to build electronics.

PS! Whenever you're ready, here are two ways I can help you learn electronics:

  1. ​Get the eBook ​Getting Started With Electronics​: A short and beginner-friendly eBook I wrote to help people get started. It contains clear and simple instructions to get started building electronics. If you're new, this is the perfect place to start.
    ​
  2. ​Join Ohmify​: Ohmify is for people interested in electronics who want to learn skills like PCB design, soldering, and project-building - while also getting a proper understanding of the basics.
