    • I won't be removing the screen in this teardown as replacement screens for the Jolla phone are not very easily available at the moment.

So far so easy. I might be able to get hold of a new Screen/Digitizer for my good old Jolla (finally removing this annoying spider app ;-) ). Would be nice if you could say a few words about going on from where you stoped. It seems to me that the rest is more or less one piece being molded together or something. What else is there to remove, besides small parts like earpiece, mic, audioconnector, flat cables, etc.

Is the digitizer-glass just glued in so I could pry off the pieces of mine and replace it with a new one?

Would be very nice to hear from you and thanks a lot for the tear down, was very helpfull so far.

FYI: Spare parts available at maxbhi.com, though I don't trust that shop very much ;-)
