In general it's cheaper/easier to replace.
I know that doesn't embrace the 'geek spirit' but that doesn't mean that it's not reality.

And you get the latest features as well.

Oh, sure I'll take something apart ... just not to fix it. Although, admittedly I did disable my dryer and attempt to fix it.

If I can't fix it, I just take any still good parts and put them in my various parts bins. I have a ton of electrical components from dead items, worth about $600-$700. I even have laptop RAM, an Intel i5 Quad-Core CPU, and a few other things from my old, fried Dell (or is that Hell) 'laptop' (which could give out enough heat to give 2nd degree burns).

The first thing I do in most situations ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

Even if you fix it altogether (5%).
But, eh, nothing like vintage refurbished electronic to prove our masculine engineering esteem...

Don't forget the environmental cost of replacement - reuse, repair, recycle should be your mantra!

But if you replace the item with more than £15, it will be worth to it a try of an un-screw

I have a photo of me as a 4-year old standing on a chair with a screwdriver taking the faceplate off a light switch. I'm smart and creative because my parents didn't shelter me from the world.
I remember another time when I was 5 or 6. I had little battery operated train. The batteries kept dying. I knew that there was electricity in the wall, so I grabbed 2 wires from my dad's shop, stripped the ends, put them on the +/- of the train, and put the other ends in the wall socket. There was a poof of smoke, and my train didn't work anymore. That day I learned the difference between 3VDC and 120VAC.

very nice, before a person can create, he/she must has the experience of messing it.
before a person success on something unknown, he/she has to taste the feel of failure of it.

I pried open the transformer that didn't work (brand new) that went with my never used USB to SATA/IDE converter. It rattled! I discovered that it came brand new with an exploded capacitor, the fuse on the circuit board blown and the rattling part was something that melted out of the circuit board when it blew. It was passed by QC #4  who must have thought that sizzling sound was correct.

There could be some workarounds.

Are we talking a normal screw driver, or a sonic one[^]?

But it depends on the replacement cost. If it's cheap, go crazy on it. If it's expensive, send it in for a replacement (assuming it's under warranty).
|
|
|
|
|
...and proceed with caution before breaking the thing

|
What if there's no net? Oh no!
|
|
|
|
|
Then its manufacturer will scream after they've seen what I've done to it!!!

|
Because that's what Engineers do
By the way have you to tried with this Screwdriver
