I don't know your service experience, but you gave a simple example of
why professional service people warn people who don't have the proper
training and experience to give their service work out to qualified
services to have their repairs done.

I know of cases where people have had injury from a terrible electric
shock, of cases where people had fires, and who were injured from
exploding parts that have not been correctly replaced.

But... For some reason many people think they can do the work
themselves, thinking that they will save a few dollars.

Professionals - in any profession - are injured and killed, too. Let the
service tech who hasn't had an electrolytic capacitor explode, please
stand up... being an amateur is no reason to leave things alone.
