iFixit is a global community of people helping each other repair things. We believe that repair reduces e-waste, saves people money, and teaches engineering. Fixers from all over the world have helped us write thousands of repair manuals for everything from cellphones to appliances to clothing. Why do we do it? Because most companies—even those that make great products—don’t provide repair parts or repair documentation. Too often, people don’t have the means to repair their broken stuff and needlessly buy new things. We want to stand up against the throwaway culture. Everyone should have the right to maintain and fix what they own. And we need everyone's help to do so. Nobody knows how to fix everything—but that’s okay. Most people know how to fix something. Maybe it’s a scooter, a game console, or a stapler. Show us what you know. Collaborate with other fixers everywhere. Join the millions of people who are fixing their things. Write a repair guide, participate in our forums, and tell us your stories. It’s time that we reconnect with our things, understand how they work, and make them useful for as long as possible before we safely recycle or repurpose them. Together, we can repair the world—one repair manual at a time.
