A generation or two ago many - perhaps most - consumer goods were designed for repair. Most communities had the appliance repair guy who fixed anything from toasters to televisions. Now many items are made to be manufacturer repairable only or, worse yet, disposable.
iFixit is devoted to Mac, iPad and iPhone repair. They offer excellent online repair guides for nothing and sell parts. I've used them a few times with good results although there are times when the cost of repair is too high to go ahead.
Now they offer non Apple guides - digital cameras, game consoles and the like. This may be useful.
