I found this site that is trying to change the way things are done in the corporate world. They are getting laws passed world wide to give us the ability to repair everything for ourselves. Go here http://www.ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair" rel="nofollow - https://www.ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair and learn all about it. It is an eye opener. Make sure to read about the "Voiding the Warranty" by opening anything to fix it yourself. It is ILLEGAL!

For instance
Corporate lobbyists are fighting hard to keep you out of your stuff.
Companies opposed to the Right to Repair movement are spending https://maplightarchive.org/story/in-fight-over-the-right-to-repair-equipment-farmers-are-outspent-28-to-1/" rel="nofollow - millions of dollars each year
to pay lobbyists to fight it. John Deere and other farm equipment
manufacturers have outspent farmers 28-to-1. They're paying other
lawyers, too: https://maplightarchive.org/story/in-fight-over-the-right-to-repair-equipment-farmers-are-outspent-28-to-1/" rel="nofollow - There were 17 lawsuits filed against Deere in the first six months of 2022 alone.
Right to Repair is the idea that you should be able to fix https://www.ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair" rel="nofollow - everything you own —wherever
you want, whether that means fixing it yourself or taking it to a
repair shop of your choice. Lots of manufacturers limit repair to their
own repair services. This monopoly on repair lets them set prices
wherever they want and refuse to do certain repairs, meaning stuff gets
trashed too soon.
Legislation supporting Right to Repair requires manufacturers to
provide repair documentation, parts, and tools to consumers and
independent repair shops.
