Not a very effective use of your time.

No, but we've all had jobs where that became true, more so when young.

Even today I will tackle a job that I know is a loss going in, but with a reason. When I see a circuit board for a problem more than once, I know it's a pattern. Running down a problem on a board with no service data is a nightmare, but once that problem is identified, the next one takes 15 minutes. Much better than paying for a replacement board. The more I see after that the bigger the payoff.
