I don’t want to start a business as such yet, just as a hobby for now. This kind of thing really interests me
minus-squareneidu3@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI’ve fixed a bunch of them, as well as tablets, and I really like the toolkit from iFixit. It’s great as a beginners set.

Another consideration is some tool to heat up the display or back. iFixit has the iOpener, a silicone “pillow” you heat up in the microwave, which works okay, but you might prefer a heat gun, or a plate (3D printer’s heated bed works too). And good lighting of course.
