I would say buy it just so you have something to mess around with and practice with. IF you do the xclamp "fix" it might work for about a week or two. Then after that it would need a reflow or reball. When i used to do reballs for people, i would charge $75 and i would charge $40 for a reflow and 12v fan mod. So if you dont have the equipment to get it to 100% working condition then its only gonna be good for practicing with and using it to find different voltage spots and maybe parts. Overall, i would say buy it.
