I finally asked my friend who runs a shop in Portland about his board repair success rate.
He told me he stopped trying to fix every single board and now just swaps them if he sees more than 3 bad components. He said it saves hours of labor and the customer gets a faster fix. I've been stubborn about fixing everything myself, but maybe he's right. How do you decide when a board is too far gone to be worth the time?

Wait, is three bad parts really that big of a deal? Sounds like a quick fix to me.

My buddy in Seattle does the same thing, cuts off repairs at two bad caps. Honestly it just saves so much headache.

Honestly, I'd rather fix it right than just swap it. Tbh, three bad parts is nothing if you know what you're doing.
