... my post! 
Discussed this with #1 son, who is an intellectual property lawyer in the software industry.
He thinks it extremely unlikely that the repairing of a damaged chip could ever be considered an infringement on any aspect of intellectual property (copyright, trademark, trade dress, etc.), at least in this country.
He did mention that there is a developing area of law, primarily in Europe, which recognizes that the creator of an artistic work has a continuing interest in his creation, even after it has been sold to someone else. Which has the curious (to me) effect of meaning that the artist could sue if the buyer alters, modifies, damages, destroys ... or even repairs damage to ... the original art!! Most extraordinary, to my way of thinking.
