To repair newer cameras, you almost always need a basic knowledge of electronics.
It's not about unravelling complicated circuits, but rather understanding how and why electricity flows, what electrical voltage and resistance mean, and what functions electronic components perform.
Troubleshooting, cleaning, and soldering are practical additions to this knowledge.
Electronics are included in almost all of the newer cameras. This Minolta Hi-Matic GF also has an integrated high-voltage electronic flash. Knowledge of electronics helps to correctly assess the dangers of high voltages when carrying out repairs.
Equipped in this way, you can already solve common problems with the power supply, soldered connections, or switches.
Basic knowledge and practical skills
This basic knowledge and practical skills also help with other electronics tasks. In particular, you can estimate what you can tackle without endangering your own safety and what you should avoid.
You also recognize your limits more clearly and can judge where an attempt at repair makes sense and where it doesn't.
Too technical?
But electronics also has a reputation for being complicated and „too technical“. It is also said to be a child of physics and mathematics, which doesn't always win it sympathy
In reality, everything is much simpler; a good introduction to the subject with instructions and practice helps.
Educational kits: the playful way to access electronics
I have had very good experiences with electronics educational kits.
Electronic components, battery connections, a breadboard and a manual are contained in a box.
Background knowledge is imparted and everything learned is immediately implemented in projects on the breadboard.
Of course, you can also experiment freely, which will give you further experience and insights.
Everything you need to get started in electronics or a special topic in one box.
This way, you can get into the topic in a playful way and find that everything is easier than you might think.
To make an LED light up, all you need is voltage, electrical connection and a resistor to ensure that the current through the LED is correctly dosed.
Educational kits: variety of electronics topics for self-study. You can even learn to solder yourself.
Electronics educational kits are offered here in German, and I have had good experiences with them:

Of course, there are also educational kits in English, a search on the web helps.
