Comment on We're totally screwed

Offtopic, but I’ve seen an arcade monitor where a component (resistor, most likely) had burned a hole through the PCB and was gone… and the monitor was still operational!

This is somewhat common. I had that happen with a VRM power transistor on a graphics card. Wasn’t very operational after it happened though.
