Comment on ifixit was NOT fucking around with that repairability score of...1 LMAO
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 day agoTook a look at the ifixit for the steam deck OLED, honestly it doesn’t look bad at all honestly. I’ve removed lots of screens from phones and other tablets and such, and this looks no worse than those.
But man, MS really went out of their way to make the screen impossible to remove without cracking it on this one. There’s a ridiculous amount of adhesive and coupled with the glass being really really thin… 😅 Yea it’s a shit show when even the ifixit team can’t even get some photos for their teardown without a shattered screen lol

I had so much fun cracking open my Surface Duo 2 phone to fix the hinges. I literally cracked the glass shell and had to get a laminate skin to hold the glass together. I ended up getting another phone after I broke the hinges and couldn’t find someone to repair it quickly, so now I just use it as a very fancy mini-tablet. I’m so pissed they killed the platform because I adore the 2 separate screens that can run apps side-by-side and the fact that my Surface pen works on it flawlessly.
I don’t know why I keep trusting Microsoft to keep supporting good platforms, but here I am with multiple Zunes (someone else gave me their old one when they got an iPhone), and a Surface Duo 2 phone…
