gollark: Nope! I was originally gollark, but I got an h in a giveaway.
gollark: I don't even have a soldering iron, so probably not.
gollark: Though the USB-C port, which is also degraded a bit, probably can't be replaced without... very tricky soldering?
gollark: I see. Well, if I can obtain batteries and stuff, that's cheaper than buying a new one.
gollark: I don't even have screwdrivers for the weird tiny... hexagram... screws it uses.
