[title] Final Thoughts
[* green] Display repair is prioritized.
[* green] No overlapping design of cables, no fragile ZIF connectors.
-[* green] Despite the water-resistant construction, the opening procedure is straight forward but uses uncommon tri-point screws.
-[* yellow] The battery only uses mild adhesive but the motherboard needs to be removed.
-[* yellow] A lot of components are modular and can be replaced separately. Except for the frequently used two button cables which are soldered to the motherboard.
-[* red] The glass digitizer and screen are fused together making a screen assembly quick and easy but a glass only repair impossible.
+[* green] Despite the water-resistant construction, the opening procedure is straightforward and glueless (though it requires an uncommon tri-point driver).
+[* yellow] The battery only uses mild adhesive, but the motherboard must be removed for access.
+[* yellow] A lot of components are modular and can be replaced separately—except for the frequently-used twin button cables, which are soldered to the motherboard.
+[* red] The glass digitizer and screen are fused together—meaning a full replacement will be quick and easy, but glass-only repairs will be impractical.
