You should try it sometime, component repair is not that hard even with average tools. I stuck a phantom powered aux jack in my laptop once, finding the faulty amp transistor and replacing it took about 20 minutes, and that was without schematics.

To be fair, this type of repair is nowhere near as difficult as most people assume it is.
