How to Fix Anything

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

These are the preliminary steps that are often useful when you think about repairing something.

    1. How to Fix Anything, Define the Problem: step 1, image 1 of 1
      • Try to describe what your device is doing and what instead you expect it to do.

      • If it is not obvious, check if the behaviour is actually a problem or not.

      • Pro tip: even if this is the intended behaviour, you are entitled to modify it, if you like. Just it's not "fixing" anymore: that's hacking!

      • Did you forget to put the plug in the socket? Did you check the battery? Is the light bulb burn out?

    2. How to Fix Anything, Talk to your Community: step 6, image 1 of 1
      • Speak with friends, family or colleagues. Even if they don't know anything, speaking helps a lot the reasoning.

      • Speak to a rubber duck

    3. How to Fix Anything, Mind the safety.: step 7, image 1 of 1
