We (not I alone) have restrung two. The on line videos and instructions were right on. A couple things I learned.
If you are going to continue repairing after doing it once(some do, some don't), buy the string in bulk, like 300ft or more. Each blind takes a lot more string than it looks like as first glance.
Have a clean, waist high work area wider and longer than the opened blind.
Make a line diagram with arrows of all your lines from top to bottom before or as removing. Color coded comes in handy.
Cut the line several inches ( 12 if doing it the first time or have plenty of string) longer. You can always trim it after re-installing on the wall. It also makes it easier to adjust the tension when finished.
While you have it apart look for any rough edges where the string might rub and smooth them out.
Good Luck.
