• The battery is intended to be easily replaced by the user,
and requires no tools to access.
• The entire device can be disassembled with readily-
available tools.
• Modular design throughout allows replacement of several
individual components.
• Minimal adhesive securing the front cover can be difficult to
separate, but poses no real challenge to opening.
• Fragile copper grounding tape can be difficult to peel and
replace.
• Because the display cable is adhered to the midframe,
replacing the LCD requires use of a heat gun.
