@hoosier1990 part of that depends on what you already know. First thing I would do is to get my basic electronics down and then it is just a matter of learning from there. Best practice is of course to tear stuff down, having the schematics and working things out that way. Like what actually happens in a circuit. So practice, practice, practice and keep learning. Watch others how they troubleshoot and approach an issue. This is not about being able to microsolder a 0201 capacitor, it's about why it is on there and what it does. This is all a mix of academic learning and and hands-on experiences. It really does not matter what you are repairing since the basics do not change. The device maybe but not the electronics. There is no shortage in broken electronics, since most people just throw things out and buy a new stuff. So get whatever you can. Scour auction sites, pawn shops, garage sales whatever you can. No, you may not find an iPhone 14 there but you find all kinds of other treasures to learn from. To properly dispose of your e waste, consult your local colleagues. Check your areas community directory and see if and where the recyclers are located. There is a lot more to it then I can write out on here. I am certain that I am overlooking lots of things, but I am only an amateur myself and still go through the daily learning experiences. I still need my schematics, boardviews and service manuals to fix stuff. People like @imicrosoldering @tech_ni @hellomacos @geirandersen @flannelist @dadibrokeit @strongbow and many others are experts in their fields. Follow their approach to repair etc. All of that means to get involved, to ask questions and to be open to learning. It's not going to happen overnight.
