Hi Richard.
There's plenty of help out there TBH. The advantage of the forums is a lot of us were Radio & TV engineers so have the knowledge of fault tracing.
Being a beginner can be difficult as one to one help is always the best route. If you decide to ask for further help it may be easier to stick to one forum and ideally one person or mentor. Those with servicing experience can often help better than designers or ones with little service skills. That's not to say I'm decrying the top notch people.
Ideally you need a basic knowledge of electronics, you need a few pieces of test equipment as well and know how to use them and interpret the results you get or read from them.
I make all sorts of little YouTube clips, most are simple and some quite silly, they are there to show what can be done and give a little info and plenty of humour.
Don't be put off, I'm sure you'll get the help you need but too many giving you ideas can mislead and confuse you.
