With minimal finagling, we free the motherboard and throw it on the table to take a looksie.

The 8 MP rear-facing camera comes out with ease, but several other components are unfortunately soldered in place:

Front-facing camera

Vibrator motor

LED flash

Headphone jack

We're hopeful that future revisions of the Fairphone will be more modular, and more cost-effective to repair.
