Take your time, don’t just throw money at problems you face, anddddd use the big boat of info here on BitBuilt!

Read all the guides thoroughly, then read them again. Getting a solid understanding of what's involved is the first step.

Take your time reading over all the layers and traces
Explore with a multimeter what traces to where.
As Wesk said, 90% of a portable is understanding.
Early on, I had many a "aha!" moment when it clicked how chips/ICs had a relationship.
