subject: Have Spare Parts, Will Travel [print this page] Although we have all come to depend, perhaps a little too much, on electronic gadgets that seem to make our lives more interesting, what happens when they break down or get broken is horrifying. We feel like we cannot function without the gadget and it may well hold vital information that we need to keep doing what we are doing. Anyone who has lost a mobile phone knows what this means for sure. However, today there are spares in the form of iPad parts or a Macbook replacement screen etc which allow the gadget to be fixed quite easily. Of course, the less down time there is; the better for those with excruciatingly busy lives to keep up with.
There are several ways to get around this problem which most of us can work out quite simply. Either we ditch the offending gadget and buy a new one or we get a technician to fix the old one. Both options are good but if a little time is taken there may be a better way out.
For example, since most of these spares can now be sourced on the internet, some with next day delivery, it may be possible for the owner to actually fix the gadget himself. All it takes is a modicum of common sense, and the right tools of course, for the gadget to be up and running very quickly.
For those who just do not have the time to spare, there are many technicians making a good living from repairing broken gadgets and some of them may even come to the office or home to get this work done. The advent of mobile technicians came about because people are always pressed for time.
Imagine the busy executive who has all his work inside the broken gadget. If there are deadlines to be met all he has to do is look up a traveling technician who is in the same city or neighborhood and get him to come on over to fix the thing. This is great for those where time is at a premium and they merely have to leave the gadget at reception or with their secretary for the technician to come over and fix right there on the spot.
For us other mortals who have to save a dollar where we can, this work can be done at home. Once the spare has been sourced online, plus the attendant tools which open the gadget, it is merely a matter of trying our hand at being a Mr. Fixit. It is not hard for sure and many people surprise themselves when they have a go at this simple task.
For those who just cannot imagine doing this work themselves, then it is also easy to find a good technician in the vicinity where the gadget can be dropped off and fixed in a matter of hours. Sourcing the spare beforehand may just save a dollar or two so look on the net to see what prices one can get the spare for.
