Hey all, found of this place through one of my favorite repair YouTubers.

Been fixing computers for 15 or so years. Currently, I work full time as a repair technician at a very popular retailer. Getting burnt out badly due to unrealistic expectations and feeling unsatisfied as we "replace" more than repair.

Been studying micro soldering repairs in my free time for 1-2 years, as it disgusts me to quote a customer a $1500 motherboard for what is likely a blown capacitor on their gaming laptop, as per company policy.

Have gotten some repetitions in...
