No More Parts Guesswork With iFixit’s Device Compatibility Checker
Ever ordered a replacement part online only to find it doesn’t fit your device? You’ve pulled out your tools and set aside your Saturday afternoon to finally replace your laptop battery…
It's cool but I wish it didn't only cover the stuff in their store. Imagine if their repair guides just had a list of parts and their respective numbers for that device. Then you can decide where you want to purchase the part from.
ifixit is such a wonderful company. I downloaded all their repair manuals so I should be able to repair 'anything'. And it does seem to be everything.
I love that they are still adding more resources for the general public. An actual ethical company imo. But please let me know if there is some controversy I am not aware of.
Is an archive of their repair manuals available for download? Would you mind sharing the link?
I used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.
Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more "wikis" other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.
Less guesswork. Of course it’s not going to be complete. But it’s nice.
My experience with compatibility checkers hasn’t been stellar. I’ll check this out.
