    Some stuff are just ridiculously tedious to service due to their design.

    Asus laptops are notorious for this. I remember having to take apart everything including the mainboard just to replace the RAM module.

    On a similar note, in car context, I’ve read about instances where one needed to take out the whole engine just to replace the spark plug. I think it was Mercedes A series, as well as some Wuling.

      Spark plugs hit home. The back 3 in my Lexus are a real pain in the arse to get to. they’re iridium so they dont have to be done as regularly but when they do it’s a good few hours work even for a professional

        To be honest anything on a modern engine is impossible, I had headlights that needed part of the bumper and wheel arch removing, just to change a bulb
