hey guys I'm Kelsey with iFixit the new
year is off to a busy start and while we
didn't see any official tear downs this
month that didn't stop us from getting
inside some devices but I won't waste
any more of your time let's get this
January rundown started we've now got
tons of guides for the iPad air 2 and
the iPad Mini 4 whether you've got a
cracked screen a dead battery or even a
problem with your headphone jack our
guides will walk you through the process
of getting your iPad up and running
again and speaking of guys the I fix
that technical writing project teaches
University students from all over the
country how to write repair guides check
out this awesome student created guide
for replacing the motor on the DJI
phantom 3 great job guys
the largest consumer electronics trade
show in the world got a visit from my
fix of this year our very own Kyle and
Kay Kay traveled to CES in Las Vegas and
got to talk to the Virg meet a mermaid
and get a first look at a ridiculous
number of up-and-coming gadgets while
some of that tech was genuinely
impressive a depressing amount of it was
underwhelming future e waste while we
could be wrong and thinking that there
really isn't a need for a hairbrush that
can identify brush patterns or a smart
umbrella we know for a fact that this
stuff breaks and almost all of these
devices were not designed with repair in
mind you can read kaykai's full story
about our visit to CES over on our blog
and if you didn't already know I fix it
is a major advocate for your right to
repair and 2017 could be a very good
year for the right to repair movement so
far Massachusetts Minnesota New York
Nebraska Kansas and Wyoming have all
introduced versions of the pro repair
bill into their legislatures if you're
passionate about your right to repair
and live in one of the states I
mentioned make your voice heard by
contacting your state representative
don't worry we've made it super easy all
you have to do is head on over to repair
