I’m inspired by the tenacity of people like Goldmark who love to fix instead of replace, and want that option to be convenient and affordable for everyone. Goldmark said everything about the economics of our stuff steers us to toss out a product that still has good life left and buy something new. If you’ve ever had to replace a dishwasher or laptop when one tiny part fails, “people have this gut feeling that it doesn’t make sense,” said Sandra Goldmark of Columbia University’s Climate School, who also founded repair stores. You can do repairs on your own, too, although I won’t focus on that option today. You have other options for fixing your stuff - maybe for free. Know that you’re not necessarily better off having a chain store such as Apple, Best Buy or Verizon do your fix-it tasks. I have tips on how to search for reliable electronics repair help, what questions you should ask and steps you can take to ensure a repair ends happily. Just like finding a good car mechanic, though, it can be hard to find an electronics repair person you want to trust with your precious gadgets. It’s better for your wallet and our planet and there’s immense satisfaction from reviving a zombie TV set. My colleagues and I frequently encourage you to repair your phones, computers and other electronics instead of replacing them.
