Do you call an electrician, or do it by yourself?

Hello friends
Yesterday night my computer speakers stopped working. It wasn't a shocking news to me because I had some basic knowledge on fixing electronics.
This morning after doing my morning routine and preparing the equipment for mushroom planting, I decided to fix it.
Luckily it is now working, it was a simple stuff that I could do without calling an electrician.
My question is, do you call electrician every time when a small breakdown of electronic occurs or do you do it by yourself?

I have a friend who is an expert in electronics. He does all the IT work at a local university, and every time I have a problem with my computer or smartphone, I call him. He’ll fix it, and, of course, won’t charge me. My dad has done a lot for him, so he feels like helping me for free is a way to pay him back. I’m very grateful as I am not good with technology, and don’t have money to pay anything.

I only changed the light switch once, safety is very important, and repairing the machine is the same. Be sure to unplug the power. I haven't encountered anything else before. If it's too complicated, I will pay someone to repair it.

I would never attempt to fix anything electrical by myself. Have a good day.

@thebos I leave electrical to the professionals, especially now since I'm older.

Most times I call for electrician, I am not good in fixing electrical stuff.

That is safer indeed, did you get a chance to study physics in school
