I FIX IT Broken Isn\u2019t the End Planned Obsolescence\u00a0<\/h1>

Throwing away almost functional products shouldn\u2019t be. As the world\u2019s largest online repair community, we help thousands of people fix their broken stuff every day. We also have everything you need to fix your electronic devices yourself\u2014quality replacement parts, specialty precision tools, and most importantly\u2014free step-by-step repair guides for thousands of products.<\/span><\/p>

A repairable future starts with you taking repair into your own hands and looks like active legislation and products designed to be fixed. iFixit is working at every level possible to make that repairable future a reality, and we couldn\u2019t do it without your support.\u00a0Together we can fix anything.<\/strong><\/p>

Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention\u2014and for college students, the father of invention is probably a shoestring budget. In 2003, Kyle Wiens and Luke Soules found themselves with a broken iBook G3. Replacing the busted part wasn\u2019t easy, especially with no instructions, but they managed to succeed with minimal broken tabs and lost screws. They began harvesting parts from partially broken laptops and selling them online. And then, they were making repair manuals and posting them online.<\/p>

Soon, we were even taking apart the latest devices to get a sense of how challenging they\u2019d be to fix. We called these \u201cteardowns<\/a>,\u201d and the gadget world began to look to our repairability scores as a clear sign of repair ease. But we don\u2019t just rank repair ease\u2014we make it. By creating free repair manuals for so many things that have never been documented before, we\u2019ve paved the way for making repairs as easy as possible. Throughout it all, the goal has been the same: Be the free repair guide for everything.<\/p>

You can fix it\u2014we show you how.<\/strong><\/p>
