--- title: UpFix Electronics Repair News and Tech | Vitaly Sandyrev description: Growing up in Ithaca, NY, I've developed a passion for fixing things from an early age, starting with bikes and progressing to rebuilding vehicles purchased at auctions during my teenage years. With a degree in Computer Science, I now enjoy applying my technical knowledge to repair and restore defective electronics. I believe in the power of repairing rather than replacing, using upgraded parts to make devices last longer and reduce waste. Through my work, I strive to promote sustainability and help keep the world a better place, one repair at a time! image: https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/upfix-small-logo.jpg --- - [Help](https://www.upfix.com/help-center/) - [Track](https://www.upfix.com/order-tracking/) - [How It Works](https://www.upfix.com/how-it-works/) - [Contact](https://www.upfix.com/contact-us/) - [Shipping Address](https://www.upfix.com/how-it-works/shipping-instructions/) [![](https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/UpFix%20logo.png)](https://www.upfix.com/) [![](https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/web.png)upfix.com](https://www.upfix.com/) [![](https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/phone.png)888-979-9343](tel:888-979-9343) - - - Electronics Repair Blog - Articles and news for professionals and DIY Enthusiasts # The Electronics Repair Blog - UpFix [Discover More](https://www.hubspot.com/) [Get Started](https://www.hubspot.com/) - [Home](https://www.hubspot.com/) - Blog ![Vitaly Sandyrev](https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/DSC01763.png) ### Vitaly Sandyrev Growing up in Ithaca, NY, I've developed a passion for fixing things from an early age, starting with bikes and progressing to rebuilding vehicles purchased at auctions during my teenage years.
