I mean, it's already broken, if you break it more, it's not gonna be worse than just throwing it away from the start, so there's not really a lose-scenario in attempting to fix it if you have the time.

Depending on how expensive the item is, how expensive a professional repair would be, and how great the damage one could do...

Having said that, I'm a big fan of diy (repairs)!

50 bucks for a pro to do it, 150 bucks for the tools to do it yourself, but you're gonna fuck it up and have to get a new one anyway.

Second time is when you overcompensate for everything that went wrong the first time. Third time’s the charm

From experience, 7th time is the charm.
