Bienvenue!

Ce site est géré par The Restart Project. Le Wiki est un endroit où les membres de la communauté Restarters qui ont de l'expérience et des compétences en matière de réparation d'appareils et de gadgets peuvent les partager avec ceux qui débutent ou dont les connaissances sont différentes.

Ce que ce n'est pas

Il ne s'agit pas de vous montrer comment réparer une marque et un modèle d'appareil en particulier, ce que nous laissons aux différents sites de dépannage et aux nombreuses vidéos de démontage. Ici, nous nous concentrons sur les principes de base et largement applicables. Vous pouvez également obtenir de l'aide pour un appareil particulier sur Twitter ou Instagram en taguant @RestartProject.

A qui cela s'adresse-t-il

Il s'adresse à toute personne ayant la curiosité de savoir comment les choses fonctionnent et comment les réparer. Aucune connaissance préalable n'est requise. Dans l'esprit de partager les connaissances aussi largement que possible, tout le monde est invité à le lire. Pour contribuer, il suffit de s'inscrire et de se lancer dans la rédaction !
