Repair Guide pages focus on documenting specific problems and solutions.
When creating a new repair guide page, the title should be something that a person would naturally type into Google as their initial query when encountering that problem. If you wrote the wrong title, go back and edit the title, nothing is saved yet.
After choosing a title, you can start filling in the information based on the provided template. Delete the default text and replace it with the info you want to provide. Making use of Bullet and Numbered lists is a good idea to help break down the problem into individual steps that are easier for the reader to understand/follow.
Try to include as many pictures as possible. When talking about a component, mark it with a figure number and refer to its corresponding picture, for example: U7001 (Figure 1). Where Figure 1 is the relevant image.
When done, save the page then click Edit semantics button (that looks like the widget to on the top right) at the top and fill in the information about this guide. This step is very important to assign your guide to the appropriate device(s) and make it easier to find.
Repair guides are stubs by default! If you believe the guide you wrote has little to no improvements left then you can remove the stub tag either by clicking on it in visual editor and then delete or by removing the {{Stub}} in source editor.
The attributes for repair guide pages are:
- Affected parts: the parts which the guide is intending to repair/fix. E.g. Motherboard, Display assembly, Speaker, Touch sensor.
- Equipment needed: input everything you used to repair the problem from tools used to open the device to tools used to replace the broken/faulty parts.
- Type: choose the type of repair guide
- Difficulty:
- Easy: only for part replacement where the parts can be easily obtained and there is little to no risk of breaking the device while trying to replace it
- Medium: for part replacement if the parts/tools can't be easily obtained and there is mild risk of breaking the device while opening/replacing
- Hard: anything that includes soldering
- Specialist: BGA reworking
