Also, those original components have more than 25 years-old... They can fail anytime. DE10-nano is new hardware with new components which last other 25 years at least.

Realistically the only components that are likely to fail though are the capacitors, which are trivially replaced.

While other parts CAN fail it’s physical damage that’s much more likely a problem
