Cons / Risks Mentioned

- Not all failures are guaranteed fixable: severe damage (e.g., serious water damage) may not be fully recoverable.

Comparisons Made
- The shop contrasts its approach with “replacement of the whole device” by emphasizing component-level repairs (especially for water damage and board issues).
