Electrical diagnosis of damaged devices

I like to dismantle broken devices to determine the cause of failure in order to make a repair. The reward isn't a functioning device but rather having gained an in depth understanding of concepts that work together in a complex way. The process often involves discovering something I don't yet know and then teaching myself all about that mystery until I understand it.
