I'm Samantha Lionheart, I mostly go by Sam, and I have the honor of being a technical writer here at iFixit. Most of the time my writings will teach you valuable things about technology. This time they will be used to gab aimlessly about myself.
Yes, that is my real name. No, I'm not related to Richard the Lionheart, though my dad's name is Richard. No, I'm not related to Jean-Claude Van Damme, though I am fluent in French. Yes, that Of Monsters and Men song is pretty rad, though I don't speak a word of Icelandic. Well, I guess I know 'stulka' means girl, but that's a different story.
I got my degree from Cal Poly, SLO (the ''real'' Cal Poly) in Graphic Communication, which deals primarily with printing. I concentrated in the design end of things, got a minor in packaging, and was a student manager of the on-campus printshop. I also took way too many art, literature, typography, sociology and history courses. This bit was meant to explain that I really like learning, about everything. And I guess I was going to work in a warning about how much I love run-on sentences. And well-placed fragments. But maybe it has become a stream-of-conscious ramble that we should try to escape from.
My interests include MOVIES, BOOKS, ARTS, and GRATUITOUS POP CULTURE REFERENCES. I split my time between working, watching things, drawing things, and making things. And as you may have guessed, I'm on tumblr quite a bit.

The LEDs are mounted to the board and diffused through the clear plastic light guide you see to the left of the board in the first image in step 10, all the lights on the board shine through the semi-transparent plastic lid.

Use this adhesive replacement guide and buy the adhesive strips on our store!
Hi @manuelnv This guide proves that isn’t true, the device can be opened, it does require a T6 security screwdriver as well as T5 and T10, but those driver are not very uncommon. Apple wouldn’t call this computer user-serviceable, but read the comments here, many people have done this successfully =)
Oh interesting! Thanks so much for sharing your issue and solution! Great job on your fix =)
Hi @rozgnatt, they sure are! Follow the adhesive strip replacement guide to see photos and get instructions!
Hey there! As mentioned in the banner at the top of this page
“This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your Xbox One, use our service manual.”
We have 11 guides that are meant for disassembly, so try those instead =)
HI @rishabh_ this is actually a common issue! Charging can often interfere with the Touch ID’s sensors. Be sure you’re using an authentic Apple charging cable!
Hi Bruce! I would strongly recommend opening the phone and removing the sleeve. Batteries naturally expand and contract a bit as they charge and discharge, and the plastic sleeve may prevent that from safely happening. The sleeve may also introduce wear/pressure points for other components such as cables.
This is a teardown not a repair guide, if you’re looking for step-by-step guides, check out our Kinect service manual.
