      In any case, "laptop repair" is even more niche than PC repair. After all the parts are a little more specialized and harder to find/install. Maybe there is still business for that?

      moreso, but still very little. It's very much hardware repair compared to software repair.

      I've been known to do solder repairs on floppy broken power cord connectors.
      It's quite nerve racking to have a laptop spread out in a hundred pieces on a table!

      I had to do this once and this guy was walking around meeting people and claimed I was just showing off. I had to replace an inverter
