See it at workWhy are more products becoming difficult or impossible to repair?
Modern products can be smaller, safer and more capable because components are tightly integrated, but integration also changes who can diagnose, authorize and complete a repair. When parts, manuals, tools, pairing software or security credentials remain proprietary, a technically possible repair can become economically or operationally unavailable. The result is documented in several sectors, although not every restriction is unjustified.
