I doubt that it's been economic to do this type of work for many years.
I've repaired the LEDs and PSUs in several flat screen TVs for friends, but apart from that, we're largely in a world of modular replacement and have been for years. There never was much money in being an EE - after my degree I stopped within a year as I was ambitious, so used what skills I had in other areas. I also trained as a cabinet maker - my teacher made his living from training people like me as few were prepared to pay the real rate for his work as a cabinet maker doing repairs or custom work. He pointed out that the renovated furniture was worth far more than the original cost plus his fees, but most weren't prepared to pay.
