1 Set realistic expectations

Before you start any repair job, make sure you have a clear understanding of what the problem is, what the customer expects, and what resources you have available. Communicate with your customer and your manager about the scope, duration, and cost of the repair. Avoid making promises you can't keep or setting unrealistic goals. By setting realistic expectations, you can reduce the stress and pressure of the repair and avoid disappointment or conflict.

2 Plan and prepare

Once you have defined the expectations, you need to plan and prepare for the repair. Gather all the necessary tools, equipment, and spare parts you may need. Review the manuals, schematics, and troubleshooting guides for the device you are repairing. Check the weather, traffic, and safety conditions of the site. Make a checklist of the steps you need to follow and the outcomes you need to achieve. By planning and preparing, you can increase your confidence and efficiency and prevent errors or delays.

In my experience, to stay positive you need these; 1. Understand the problem, 2. Understand the device, 3. Get a second eye. Understanding the problem will help you get the right tools while understanding the device will help you know what can be fixed and what needs to changed entirely. Finally, when you are done with your checks share you findings with a colleague (a senior colleague if possible) as they may have recommendations that you haven’t considered or they can help confirm your findings. This will also help you leave the site with confidence as you have would a second opinion confirming that the most practical actions were taken during the repair.

3 Focus on the positive

During the repair, you may encounter unexpected difficulties, such as faulty components, incompatible software, or customer complaints. Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects, try to focus on the positive ones. Think about how you are helping your customer solve their problem, how you are learning new skills or knowledge, or how you are overcoming a challenge. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements and celebrate your progress and success. By focusing on the positive, you can boost your mood and motivation and cope with stress or frustration.

4 Seek support

You don't have to face the repair alone. You can seek support from your colleagues, managers, or mentors. They can offer you advice, feedback, or assistance when you encounter a problem or have a question. You can also share your experiences, challenges, or achievements with them and learn from their insights or stories. By seeking support, you can build your network and relationships and benefit from the collective wisdom and experience of your peers.

5 Take care of yourself

Finally, you need to take care of yourself physically and mentally. Repairing electronics in the field can be exhausting and demanding. You need to ensure that you get enough rest, nutrition, and hydration. You also need to manage your emotions and thoughts and avoid burnout or depression. You can practice relaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises, meditation, or music, to calm your nerves and clear your mind. You can also engage in hobbies, activities, or interests that make you happy and fulfilled. By taking care of yourself, you can maintain your health and well-being and perform at your best.

In the course of resolving a challenging electronic repair on the field, the ability of an engineer to think on their feet is vital. Their ability to physically identify various electronic components and their various troubleshooting techniques is also important. All this is in addition to them knowing that problem is a learning curve and not a judgement call.
