I got into pins about two months ago. Although I generally like fixing things, there isn't anything that scares me on a pin now. I've replaced bulbs all the way to resoldering pins on a board. I've owned three pins, all had unique issues. I was able to fix all. My buddies got into it also and they all have pins we needed to tech. Get used to it. As long as it doesn't happen during a party I accept the challenges. Buy a little tool kit make up of tool from harbor freight. It is cheap and you don't need expensive strong tools for a pin. Number one advice, get magnetic tools. You will spend more time looking for dropped screws than fixing the actual issue. Youtube, "how to magnetize a screwdriver". Save some money doing it yourself. It takes ten seconds if you have a large magnet.
