- I prefer to buy new when things break.
Because I am not an engineer, and I don't have a lot of fixing knowledge.
Fortunately things are rarely go broken, but when they do, I usually buy a new (or a used) one. Except, if there is a warranty for the product.
The service will fix or replace the product for free in that case.
But if I can fix something, then I will fix it.
Good for you to try anyway. If it is broken anyway you are not losing anything :)
