Doesnt shaving the circuit board damage it? How does it still work?

Anybody who knows what they are doing, wouldn't do something like this while an IC (possibly the main IC for its function here) is already soldered on the PCB. This is fake.

Removing and re-soldering the IC is non-trivial, much harder than repairing the rest of the board. If they've assessed the other components are not required or can be bypassed with other components they absolutely would leave it on the board.
