.......But Penny's brain is a computer, and computers can be unplugged and left that way indefinitely with no hardware damage and little or no data loss. In theory, if her body is repaired, her brain, personality and soul should all start back up no problem. In itself, that requires 2 things: That her hardware is mostly-fine, and that her software is mostly-fine.

.... well, that also assumes she doesn't have a "cloud" equivalent saving/backing up her data on a regular basis, or an improved chassis worth of upgrades that has been fine-tuned/designed, but could not be physically inserted into the old one... which as a proto-type, she may have.
