    have you tried to repair a regular phone? i have disassembled my fairphone down to the motherboard numerous times just for the fun of it. there are no adhesives to replace in the entire phone. you just need a screwdriver.

      I have.

      For the most part once the screen is removed (heat gun and playing card) everything else isn’t too hard. Some phones are more difficult.

      I had a guy replace an iphone screen for like $10, it was a 3 minute job. It’s not as bad as I thought
