Only recently I made a Canon T90 inoperable, which I definitely could have repaired. I was impatient, unfocused and made an avoidable mistake.
Game over.
The fact that I successfully repaired another T90 on the same day somehow went unnoticed.
What a pity.
Should I try it?
Today I opened a T90 from the same lot with leaking battery electrolyte.
It looks bad.
I have spare parts and I know what to do, but because there is no guarantee that the repair will be successful, I hesitated.
And if the work was in vain and I make another mistake?
Will that set me back, will it affect my motivation?
Should I try it?
Not a pleasant feeling, and doubts.
You have to try
Then the realization that there is no easy way if you want to improve.
Whatever repairs come up, you have to try.
With all the concentration and strength you have.
And it has to be documented for subsequent work, then it will have been worthwhile in any case, regardless of whether the repair was successful or not.
And in every project there are partial successes that stand in their own right, for example a complicated soldering job that was successful.
It's always good practice, new knowledge comes for free, so the path is clear:
Forward, out, no matter what comes onto the work table.
This is the way to become a better repair man.
Never hesitate!
