Do you repair your retro consoles?

I have a broken PSone that I intend on fixing when I get some free time, and I've had an extremely hard time finding any information on how to fix it. I'm starting to think it might be easier to just buy a cheap, working PSone online.

So, here's my question to you! When your old console breaks, do you try to find out how to fix it online, or just buy a new one on the Web?

When my old console breaks, I emulate it.

@mandude: There are some pretty amazing things you can do with emulators these days. ePSXe and Dolphin are two that come to mind.

I've got a broken lynx I can do nothing about. The unit works, it's just the screen in it has faded to non existence.

I do not have any old ones. They ether broke, and had to be thrown out, or I sold them to buy the next one. My PS3 YLOD on me about 6 months back after just buying it from someone and I have been trying to find the $200 it costs to get fixed, but something always comes up first. Which is really annoying considering I got a shelf of about 15-20 games that have never been played because the POS broke so soon after buying it.

I windex and toothbrush the connectors inside my NES every once in a while.

I'll fix it myself, but if any issue prevents me from enjoying my console, or if it's a cosmetic issue, I'll buy a new one. Over the years I repaired NeoGeo's, Dreamcasts, NES's, Sega Saturn's, original Gameboy's and PC Engine's, etc etc.

I have an Atari, Colecovision, and Genisis that no longer work. I should see about getting them fixed.

I've thought about replacing the 72 pin connector on my NES, but honestly I'd rather just play on an emulator.

I haven't had to really
