I wouldn’t have asked, if he would have a “developer” tag behind his name. :wink: Thanks for clarifying. But would be nice to know how does it work in future for customers, when people really need to replace a part.

@dos, Thanks for clarifying what is the situation with the parts. I don’t have the phone, so I am going off pictures. @nicole.faerber said last year that the screen of the Librem 5 would be joined with the case, but that may have changed. Have you tried taking the screen off?

Do you have to solder wires to the test points, or is there some way to do this with pressure contacts?

There are around 4000 people I have to check if I want to know who is dev and who is not. And I have to repeat it since Purism can hire or fire people. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Bump. Would be good to have ifixit repair guides for all products and marketplace for components like battery, screen, etc

None for the Librem 11 I suppose though?

Yes, correct.

The Librem 11 is glued together. Removing the metal back cover is almost certain to permanently deform it.
