  • The lack of visible screws had us a little worried, but not for long thanks to these handily-labeled clips.

  • Removing the display assembly is simply a matter of flipping the switches and sliding the panel out.

  • For those keeping score thus far, removing the front panel keeps us at a grand total of zero tools required.

  • On the midframe we find an array of pogo pins, their counter parts are on the back of the display assembly.

  • Immediately below the contact pads on the display assembly we take off the metal shield and see where the display connects to the breakout board.

  • Fairphone modularized off-the-shelf components using breakout boards like these to foster compatibility.
