So, it all started when I rescued an Omega Race PCB set from a lot of garbage boards I bought. I thought it was "fixable" and I wanted a spare for my dedicated game. I populated it fully, and eventually sent it out for repair. When I got it back, it worked for about 30 minutes and died. Using my good set, I narrowed the problem down to these three chips:

It worked for about the same 30 minutes and died. I gave up....now I am wondering what I should do with it after $200 of sunk costs:
1. Keep it in the box for when my original dies
2. Spin the repair wheel again
3. Sell it broken
Thoughts are appreciated.
