how to keep motivated, if you feel like your failing

[Repairable]

Tell me need some inspiration atm.

have some stuff in and no mather what i do i cannot get it working properly.

(no sorry it is not a cannot be fixed stuf, 3 boards same issues. so i am really missing something and feeling a compleet dick about it)


so tell me how do you keep your chin up

Also tried fixing other stuf and getting that done it works but if i look at the other boards....... pfff gone

(btw yes atm i feel like a compleet dick) thats why

and yes trowing it in the no fix bin would be a option, but i dont have alot of work so i really need to fix most until i can also order a no fix bin and put food on the table next to it .

I just have a stack of boards that I put aside. Once in a while I pick one out and start with a fresh mind. Not everything can be fixed

Save it for another day. Spending hours focusing on one board usually leaves me in a bad mood and missing something obvious. Cannot overstate the value of having a fresh start on something too. Take a few days, do some easy things, get your head cleared, and come back to it.

I usually space out the easier repair jobs with the harder stuff, it helps me feel like i am making progress.

Sometimes you have to give up and talk to a customer about a new logic board. Don't feel bad about it, it is what it is. Even w/ a refurb board you are probably saving them money over an apple store repair. Just be honest up front about the chances to repair it, and be honest when you fail. People appreciate it.
