Is it worth sending out of warranty Vive Pro in for repair?

[MikeAronis]

My kids have an original Vive and a Vive Pro.  The Vive Pro started having issues with audio and now video and we thought it was the link box. I was able to get one (they were out of stock for the past year) but that did not fit the problem.  I ordered a new Vive Pro 2 headset ( as from what I understand will work the vive pro setup).  They are using the original vive which goes blank now and then.  I hate intermittent issues like that.  Software? Hardware? Who the (*)*& knows.

But the question is.....is it worth sending the Vive pro and Vive headsets in for 'service' to be repaired, or is that a waste of time???
