We're happy to announce the creation of a Restart Wiki!

What this is: The Restart Wiki is a place where those of us in the Restart community with experience and skills in mending appliances and gadgets can share them with those who are starting out, or whose own knowledge lies in different areas. It's aimed at anyone with a curiosity about how things work and how to fix them. No prior knowledge is assumed.

What it isn't: It isn't going to show you how to fix a particular make and model of device, which we leave to the various fix-it sites and many disassembly videos. Instead, we concentrate on basic and widely applicable principles.

Who it's for: In the spirit of sharing knowledge as widely as possible, everyone is welcome to read it. To contribute, just become a volunteer Restarter in your community and contact us.

If you wish to reuse anything here, you are welcome do so under the terms of the Creative Commons ShareAlike Licence 3.0.
