I know it seems over the top when you know you're doing a good repair, but sometimes you have to do things by the book. For example I have on the bench a 12v 7.5A mains adaptor with (only) a failed internal fuse. It belongs to a friend, but I had to break the casing open to find this. It's not damaged and I COULD glue it back and my friend would be happy, but maybe he will sell it or lend it out one day? And if something happens and it's obviously been opened and stuck back then I'm responsible, no matter if it isn't my 'repair' that failed. No - he's having a new one.
