A friend gave myself and the kids a very expensive Mac to salvage as it was too expensive to even send out for a quote . I replaced a bulging capacitor on the graphics card with a similar part and it worked fine and I am a complete novice .

Looking on the web there are many groups of young enthusiasts with listings of which parts need replacement in which devices and the best quality components. Gotta love the web and the driver of lack of funds for assessing quality and repair. Some people are not paid so much that they don’t bother.

I fixed a few things by replacing one cent Chinese copy parts with 10 cent parts from a friends stash of German electronics. Corporations do not care if it works , or works for long, as long as it sells.
