I suppose it might be possible to learn enough to perform this sort of
repair successfully.
Oh, it most certainly is. After all, we have people called 'vets' who do
this. But unlike electronic/mechanical repair, it's difficult to be
self-taught in this. If I make a mistake stripping a classic computer, I
can put it right. If I make a mistake repairing Pentina the cat, I can't.
(Cats, and most other living things seem to have volatile memory for all
the firmware, and there's no way to back it up or restore the backup. So
if you make a mistake and manage to erase said memory, that's it :-()

Is there
anything you won't strip to pieces and/or (at least attempt to)=20
repair? :)
Yes. Pentina, my cat (or more exactly the cat who chooses to live with
me). I don;t know enough to do so without fatal results.
