We're just some folks with repair on our minds...
Walking through a ghost town and admiring the dilapidated houses’ tin roofs.
Crawling through an abandoned complex long gone and deciphering the graffiti pasted on over time.
Driving my Suzuki Samurai along old Native American trails.
Soaking in the concentrated, complex culture of an old city center.
Standing in absolute darkness and silence in ancient lava tubes.
Eating fresh made gelato for the third time while watching the sun set.
==========
These are a few moments of life I have enjoyed.
I was born in Shanghai, China. My family headed for San Francisco when I was five, and that's where I grew up most of my life.
I wanted to be an inventor! So, I pursued electrical engineering (I really should have chosen mechanical engineering, but that's another story!) I got schooled hard at Cal Poly and finally left with a MS in EE with a focus on mechatronics and control systems. Along the way, I also found my life purpose and my best friend.

Hi Simon,
Sorry about your troubles! We will update this guide as soon as we have a chance!
Hi Albert,
It’s hard to tell. Most phone functions will probably work, but you may start getting quirky problems.
Hi Diego,
If your replacement part did not come with the plastic holder, you will have to transfer the old one onto the new frame.
I’ve updated the step to include the comments. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Max,
If you look at the first image in step 7, you’ll see that the USB-C connector is part of the motherboard. If it breaks, you can possibly replace it by micro-soldering a replacement part, but this is much harder than swapping and replacing a small daughterboard. The other solution would be to replace the motherboard which it is attached to.
Can you check if your original battery is actually thinner than 3.3 mm? If so, I’ll need to look into the guide to see if something needs to be fixed.
Hi Elmer,
It is sold as a kit here. Otherwise, you can try searching for it online. It’s an IcyDock 2.5" to 3.5" Adapter.
It depends on if the seal around the speaker grille is torn. As a reality precaution, the older the phone gets, the less it’s likely to retain its IP rating.
Good catch! We’ve corrected the spec.
I switched your post to an Answers forum post, where it will hopefully get answered quicker. Follow it here:
Not charging when powered on
Have you tried different chargers? Insufficient wattage chargers can stop charging when the device is on.
