     Before you decide to purchase a brand new computer, consider the option of repairing or upgrading your current machine.  We fully support and promote the "Right to Repair" your devices.  There are many options to repair various damaged parts, restore software or simple maintenance that will resolve issues that cause people to discard their devices.  Why send a salvageable and expensive computer to e-waste when it can be repaired and/or upgraded?
     In many cases a computer can be restored, at a lower cost, to run better than when it was first purchased.

What is the Right to Repair Movement?

The concept of Right to Repair laws started as a way to help consumers keep their electronics longer.
As devices have become smaller and new technologies get more sophisticated, that’s led to a shortened lifespan – with consumers needing to get their devices replaced with newer, and costlier, versions of what they already have.  Right to Repair Electronics hoped to change that.
The concept has quickly caught on. Industry groups, like the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, came out in support of Right to Repair, citing the environmental and economic benefit of doing so.
Right to Repair bills mandate that electronics manufacturer provide spare parts and repair manuals for aging electronics. Advocates say this is going to help cut down on the growing e-waste problem.
E-waste refers to used electronics that people no longer want, and far too often simply throw out with household trash.  The problem is that every year the amount of e-waste being pitched skyrockets across the globe.
