While going through my father’s things after he passed away, I found there instructions for an old television that included the full schematic for the device. If something was malfunctioning, and you were willing, you could fix it.

For a 15 year old e-reader I found the repair manual online, which contained a full schematic. For a more recently released e-reader from the same company, the repair manual simply has a disassembly step-by-step. I can only imagine the company found it not worth the effort for technicians to actually repair anything.
