Yes. But also, I wouldn't toss out the non-failed part, I would keep it on standby for either future testing against any issue that arises in the future that may potentially involve said part. It was after I had the issue that ended up costing me to miss 2 weeks of work is when I decided on using my method
. Definitely a lot cheaper, for me at least, to do it that way.
