I stopped giving a fuck after my first glued phone repair attempt. Until that point it was kind of fun and very rewarding, and the glued ones are just pure frustration. Big tech won, I don’t repair phones any more.

I’d rather see Fairphone expand.

I’d they’d bring back the headphone jack and sell them in North America then they might have something.

You just need a bit of practice. I also broke the rear glass on my first attempt repairing a glued phone, but it only took until my 3rd attempt to get it done without cracking it.

Try that with the screen at $300 a pop, I got out of the repair biz a few years after glue and large amounts of underfill in weird fucking places started becoming common place…such a pain in the ass!
