For repairing your laptop sure, but there are huge risks with very low margins for error for safety in terms of dealing with high voltage electricity. If you want to do this safely you need to take the relevant electrical classes/certifications to know how, it’s not something a beginner can jump into without assistance. Sure if you fuck up a laptop repair it’s not a huge deal but this will fucking kill you if you’re not careful. Sure you can learn how to ride a motor cycle but you still need a license to do so and pass classes first, and most people deem the risks, efforts, and costs too high to be worth it.
