Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've fixed a bunch of electronics myself over the years, from rebending the metal in my logitech G7 when the click stopped behaving right to replacing the switch outright on my G900 when it started doing the same thing, to fixing the stick drift on my PSVR2 controller after I accidentally threw it across the room, to fixing a strummer that would stick on a 3rd party guitar controller. Each of those was a bit different but all pretty straightforward and saved me a bunch of money.

The part that makes me hesitate is that each of those were done at my own risk. I had to retire the G7 after one attempt to fix the button resulted in dropping the tiny plastic part on carpet, losing it forever. That was fine because it was mine and like the 3rd or 4th time I fixed it. But if I'm doing it for someone else, then I won't necessarily be able to just write it off as a loss if something breaks in the process. I might start out by buying broken items cheap, fixing them and selling them so the risk (and decisions about rasolution) is still all just on me. Or maybe letting people bet against me as an insurance. Like pay an extra $5 or something and if I break it, I'll pay you $150.
