This is a thing of beauty. How hard was it to get the case swapped out?

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It wasn't difficult to me, just time consuming really since I was taking it slow and keeping everything organized. I have all the appropriate tools for things like a screen swap and such though, along with the patience and expertise to do it safely - So I might not be the best person to answer about the difficulty in a way that would be true for others.

I'm assuming there's more to it than simple taking the case off and switching it all into the new one?

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

Yep, gotta take out individual parts one at a time and transfer them over, but you have to do the assembly in roughly reverse order, which means disassembly, then assembly with the new case.
