-[* black] Fairphone decided to let go of the [guide|52523|display lock mechanism|stepid=115063|new_window=true] of the second generation and fixed the display unit of the Fairphone 3 with regular Phillips #00 screws.
- [* icon_note] Provided in the box is a tiny screwdriver to manage the most common repairs. We still prefer our slightly larger handle from the [product|IF145-299-4|Mako Driver Kit|new_window=true] for a bit more comfort.
-[* red] With the screws gone we unsnap the display unit from the frame just to discover the same pogo pin connector with its breakout board below [guide|52523|as in the previous iteration|stepid=115063|new_window=true].
-[* orange] While we are very happy to see visual cues inside of devices, we're not sure of this one is of any help ''after'' we already unscrewed some screws.
