What is something you have fixed instead of replaced? I just saved a ton soldering a new power supply into a great old mixer!

This mixer has been perfect for years... Until it suddenly died, and has since made a terrible electrical hissing squealing noise. I sent a video of the noise to MusicTribe/Behringer, and they determined that it was a faulty internal power supply. Instead of sending the mixer in, I asked if they could send me the part so I could fix it myself. After agreeing to not having a guarantee because I would be doing the fix myself, they sent me the exact part I needed, which I soldered into the housing and reinstalled into the board.

The PSU Power Supply Unit costs $58.94 (with $10 shipping). The UFX1604 brand new costs anywhere between $475-575 (it's long since discontinued but still available at some places). I'm not super at math but this repair saved me somewhere around $400 to fix instead of buy new.
