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 :-()
