Speak out for your right to repair.
New York,
New Yorkers stand up for what they believe in. And we're asking you to
stand up for repair.
This year, New York could be the first state in the nation to pass the Fair Repair Act,
A8192 and
S618.
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic
equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. We have a
chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that
keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.
It’s not going to be easy. Manufacturers are standing in the
way. When your stuff breaks, they want to be the only people allowed to fix it.
So far, they’ve managed to stop Fair Repair legislation before your
representatives get a chance to vote on it. We’ve got to be louder than their
lobbyists.
The Fair Repair Act, known as
A8192 and
S618,
requires manufacturers to provide owners
and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information,
security updates, and replacement parts. Tell your state representative to
support S618. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and
accessible. Stand up for your right to repair.
Before trying all of this, I took all the software steps Apple recommends, even wiping and reloading the iPhone. Still needed the vibrator transplant, and now it works great!
Rather than remove the screen, I placed the phone in a small plastic basket and used a chip-clip to hold the screen to the side of the basket. This had the added benefit of catching the small parts I fumbled and saving a couple of rounds of magnet sweeps across the floor trying to find teeny-tiny screws. Thanks for another well done tutorial!
I'm going to try it this way, because the odds of damaging the connector during removal seem greater than the risk of ripping the cable, however, I plan to cradle the phone in the "L" of simple, sheet metal bookend, and secure it using blue painter's tape. Seems more stable.
