My CFO once told me she was asked to fix her physicians PC, because doesn't she work for a computer company?
There was a gym below our software company and the people there also asked me to fix their PC a few times, because we know about computers, right?
I started working with computers before I was a dev, so fixing some hardware isn't that big of a deal for me.
First I had to upgrade and fix my gaming machines, because I was too poor for new hardware or to pay someone else to do it. This led me to do it pretty much for the whole family. I worked briefly in tech-support, but I found developing new stuff more intriguing, so I studied computer science later and started working as a dev.
Friends and family always ask me to fix stuff for them and more often than not I do it. But for things like washing machines I ask my flatmate, since he is a bit better with this electrical stuff :D
