If you replace the defective parts with OEM replacement if they are available, then you haven't modded it but repaired it. Even if you use 3rd party aftermarket parts, might be modding but functionally it's unmodded. It's only if there are extra lights, buttons, major visual component or a modification in software behaviour is when I'd consider the console functionally modded.
