Repair Guides
The best place to get support for something that needs repairing is at your local repair café. Repair cafes are usually free, staffed by volunteers, so donations are always welcome. Find out where your nearest repair café is.
If you can’t get to a local repair café or want to learn some repair skills yourself, there are other online options to help you for basic repair knowledge and skills. Always follow the instructions carefully, particularly when it comes to electrical products.
