    If the cost of Theseus replacing a mast incurred the cost of buying a new ship, then I doubt it would be his ship neither physically nor figuratively.

    Chips are ridiculously cheap, and getting your local phone shop to resolder one on is about £30 and 30mins of your time worth spending

      I’m not saying it’s not worthwhile to do this to fix a broken phone, just that if you have to do this, then the phone was bricked, and once you’re replacing hardware, you’re not just recovering it.
