You usually don’t lose anything by at least trying to fix something that’s already broken. At worst it’ll just remain broken. Even if I don’t intend to repair it, I’ll still usually tend to disassemble it just to see what it looks like inside - and there’s often a part or two I can scavenge for the “DIY box” in case it comes in handy later. I also don’t worry too much about how pretty the fix is, as long as it works. Also, there’s instructions for almost everything online.
One of my biggest problems I guess is not even knowing what the parts are called or what they do or how things function and how they’re built. I’ll have to start so far up, you know? Not like I can Google “how to replace rinkymadink in a Honda Shmonkaflonk”. I’d rather have to start with, like, “how does a car propel itself?” 💀
