Kahenraz,
well there are plenty of examples to be found on the internet
some rossman repair group videos on youtube spring to mind that leave the board with a hole in it, a still functional board at that point... 😀
sometimes the board gets lucky and nothing gets carbonized, other times, it's almost a full short, and then there are the worst times were it's a little bit carbonized, which causes a little bit extra current flow, that might or might not be enough to carbonize the board a bit further and cause some sometimes odd behaviour.
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.
