Step Lines

-[* black] And now the moment we have all been waiting for - the rating.
-[* green] We like the modular design with its separation of the different repair levels.
- [* green] The back cover, battery and display assembly can be removed without any tools.
- [* green] The three modules only require the use of a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
- [* green] And all further parts require a Torx T5 screwdriver.
-[* green] Even the buttons and cables are easily accessible for replacement and the back cover in combination with the pogo USB connection leaves room for future extensions and upgrades.
-[* red] Unfortunately, the display assembly has the LCD and the touch fused together in one unit.
+[* black] Fairphone 2 Repairability Score: ***X out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair)
+ [* green] We like the modular design with its separation of the different repair levels:
+ [* green] The back cover, battery and display assembly can all be removed without any tools.
+ [* green] The three midframe modules only require the use of a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
+ [* green] All further parts require a T5 Torx screwdriver.
+ [* green] All buttons and cables are easily accessible, and the spring contact connectors leave room for future upgrades and easy component replacements.
+ [* red] The LCD and front panel glass are fused together. This slightly simplifies the repair procedure but increases the cost of screen repair significantly.
