Up to you to decide. I talked with a guy who only repairs Volvo modules and he said out of 10 such HU650/850 he managed to revive 5. The rest still exhibited cracking/cutting out despite reflowing/replacing the DSP processor.
I googled a lot on the problem and have seen other people who had theirs fixed with a reflow, but the fix lasted only 6 months or a year. Internally these units get VERY hot. Mine had visible darkening/discoloration of the PCB and cracked solder joints implying a lot of heat, much more than should be there. Maybe if repaired, a small fan should be installed permanently inside to not allow it to get so hot.
