November 2023, the site experienced a crash, prompting the need for a new layout as my theme was incompatible with the current update. I’ll be ironing out the bugs as I find than and find the the time to correct them (I am not a coder so I have to learn as I go). The Site should also now be mobile/tablet friendly.

Updated: Jan-01-2023
I have shut down the AK Parts Shack it is no more!
Work has begun on Rhine-Labs.com I will soon be accepting mail-in electronics repair and chip programing.

I have seen some of my images floating around on other sights and some tutorials. I am not a copyright snob, I do not mind if people are using my images. But, If you wish to use my Images all I ask is if you use them you must link the source page www.stevenrhine.com. Thank You

#RighttoRepair or #Right2Repair, If I am Dealing with a Company When Repairing a Device, I will assess the company for repeatability and give a Right to Repair Score  On an A to F Scale. “A” Being Full Support to “F” Being Fail! If the company gets an “F” I will list the reasons why. Undetermined means I have either not contacted or checked. I will be reporting the right to repair and anti-repair news as I come across it.
