is there some associated repair guide (like for one that won’t power up), or only this Disassembly Guide? (if only the latter, then why bother?). While not worth repairing for any cost savings (they can be had for $15 second hand), they would be good devices for practicing repair skills like diagnosing and replacing board components, with little risk.
