What? You can still do it, although it's really annoying and difficult (you
pretty much have to do it by buying several motherboards and cannibalizing
some of them, and you need a good bit of specialist equipment). But nothing
fundamental has changed there, not really. The CPU and other chips remain as
impossible for anyone to repair as they ever were; the non-
photolithographically-constructed components remain possible to repair.
