Here's a major problem, as I see it. willem's answer precipitated this. It's one thing to exchange a fan, re-seat some RAM, check cables, fix a screw. It's a different picture when replacing a inverter board. Some of these repairs are hard for me and I've been doing it over 30 years. It's fine to read a book on surgery but another thing to do a heart transplant. I feel we sometimes lead people in over their heads. I think the difficulty level should be emphasised to a greater extent. I charge about what an attorney does for giving the advice I do and doing the work because very few can do what I do. I give it away here but that doesn't make it easy. You can't baffle 'um here. You have to dazzle 'um with brilliance or your peers will be all over you. That's not to say we don't have our share of BS artists ;-)
