| [* black] Opening pick, meet chassis gap. That's right, no heat or suction cups necessary just yet! This is way to good to be true! | |
| [* black] ...and it is. We quickly get bogged down in adhesive and have to break out the heat gun. | |

| - | [* black] Careful carving through graphene cooling sheets and sticky strips of adhesive eventually wins the day, but there is almost a casualty. We nearly destroyed a [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/q2mW2JpSCdeDHeVY|small flex cable|new_window=true] that connects the earpiece speaker (via spring contacts) and houses a couple little indicator LEDs. |

| [* black] Alright, that ended up being much dicier than initial impressions led us to expect. Was this the right way in? Maybe the screens are supposed to come off first... |
