Basic computer repair: It wasn't that many years ago that you could open up a knackered computer and see a burnt out track on the circuit board. This could then be bridged with a bit of copper wire and some nifty soldering... God help anybody who tries to do that on a modern motherboard!

There was a "leaky capacitor" problem on computer motherboards some years back, caused by an unscrupulous electronics company in Japan or Taiwan. It was a controversy right out of "Disclosure". Anyway, long story short, I replaced the capacitors on my motherboard myself. And my computer still worked!
