The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn’t keeping the front plastic, so I didn’t have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.
The case swap was a bear, took forever. I’m fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that’s with me lending a hand towards the end.
It looks great, in my opinion, and I’d do it again, I’d just start earlier in the day 😬
As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn’t working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven’t even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I’ll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.
Yeash… 4 hours to swap the case? Absolutely striking that off my list. I’ll get as far as taking it apart and then I’d have solflocked myself lol. Looks great though!
Swapping the back is pretty easy, but my understanding is you have to do 100% disassembly to swap the front.
Can confirm 🫠
Well, I’m sure I could’ve gone faster, I did stop to help my buddy a number of times. But yeah it’s at least 2 or 3 hours, lots of little bits and bobs and they all have to go back in the right spots. It’s not hard per se, except for the screen removal, it’s just tedious.
Thanks I think it looks great too! 😄
