Apple, along with other phone makers, as well as Deere Co (maker of tractors), are lobbying and halting -- yes halting -- "Right to Repair " legislation. They're worried. They make billions from repairs and Right to Repair & Fair Repair is now in 12 States.
Peruse this.
Get some handyman books on this and that ...
Take a look....
Get specific
Pick up a tool or two....
This can be you.
All aspects of YOU yourself -- brains, brawn, and beauty -- are utilized when you fix it yourself.
It's a way to fight helplessness about wars, immigration, global warming, racial issues, healthcare, taxes, scary headlines, and it's good exercise.
Hey, if you yourself cannot make the-whatever-it-is work, use your brain, brawn, beauty to find a local expert -- ask folks who own or operate or work for businesses in your neighborhood for suggestions; check references; negotiate; make an appointment; watch what they do. And learn.
It's interesting. It's fun. I've done it. If I can do it, so can you.

What a wonderful skill to have. I am usually totally lost in these situations, but the few times I have been able to figure something out and fix it, I know the wonderful, confident feeling you are talking about.
My computer was broken nothing but a black screen with white lettering, I kept Googling until I found the right answer and fixed my lap top and saved $100 in repairs. My first.
Agree Em! and love the illustrations.
Someitmes it pays to give it a go. I could not bleieve how easy it is t change a lock on a door. It took me 5 minutes just following the directions on the back of the package. But I lived alone for years in my own house and it's learn or be helpless
