    As I watch these videos I often wonder if sending something in for repair makes sense vs attempting the repair yourself. As an example I have a VR controller that has a joystick issue. The cost of the controller cost $250 new because you can only buy them in pairs but the component to repair it cost a few dollars. I bought a set of new ones, but for $250 it seems like a repair would be worth the attempt as I would have a spare set. It's probably not worth sending in for a professional to do due to cost though. I am a hobbyist so watching these videos is good for learning techniques, even if I don't have all the professional tools. Kinda hoping I can manage one component though...
