The HMD Skyline’s user-repairable design — along with some tools and guidance from iFixit — make smartphone repair a cinch.
My first DIY smartphone repair project was off to an inauspicious start. I’d successfully removed the back of the HMD Skyline, but the next instruction called for a T3 screwdriver bit. I had a T4 bit, which worked well enough to turn the screw that popped the corner of the phone’s back panel up. But a T4 was just too big for the tiny screws holding the battery connector cover in place. I needed that T3. The Skyline is one of HMD’s latest user-repairable phones.
Working one drop at a time, I applied some 90 percent isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed the residue off with a microfiber towel. It was the most tedious and satisfying part of the job. 'The most tedious and satisfying part of the job' Incidentally, I had to perform the same maneuver in a house project last week, only on a slightly bigger scale. There’s apparently a small crack where the conduit meets our outdoor breaker box that lets a tiny trickle of water into the wall when it rains.
