Thank you for speaking so openly, thus making me realize I'm not alone:
I too have failed miserably - in my case it was a known shutter button issue of the first L35AF I bought;
apparently an easy fix, alas "hasty cackhandedness" ruined things very quickly, and the pitiful thing sat close to my desk with both reproachful and resigned face for months now.
TODAY I WILL BIN !

^ sounds wise - about 9years ago I attempted a poorly researched repair on a Canonet G-III 17.
Unable to handle the loss or concede defeat for my hasty cackhandedness I was haunted for 6months by the wreckage hidden in the kitchen drawer.
I finally obtained peace and closure by binning it and accepting that I'm a shit camera repairer
