iFixit
Verified working Aug 3, 2026
A community repair library with guides, parts, tools, and expert help.
iFixit is a repair knowledge hub for phones, computers, appliances, vehicles, cameras, game consoles, and many other devices. It combines step-by-step community repair guides, troubleshooting forums, teardowns, repairability coverage, and a store for parts and tools used in DIY repairs.
Why it stands out
- Combines repair instructions with compatible parts and tools instead of leaving users to source everything separately.
- Covers a wide spread of categories beyond consumer electronics, including appliances, vehicles, medical devices, and household items.
- Community Q&A adds troubleshooting support for cases where a guide alone is not enough.
- Teardowns and repairability coverage make it useful before purchase, not just after something breaks.
- Advocacy and manufacturer collaborations connect practical repair help with the broader right-to-repair movement.
Good to know
- Guide depth and quality can vary because much of the library is community-created.
- Parts availability is strongest for supported models and categories; unusual or older items may not have matching store inventory.
- Store shipping and guarantees apply to purchased parts and tools, not necessarily to every repair outcome.
