Part 4/8:
The heart of the mod is installing the new IPS screen. Despite the availability of on-screen display features for brightness and color adjustments, the modder admits to hesitation in soldering due to nervousness. They decide to focus on correct placement and ribbon cable attachment rather than full electronic calibration for now.
However, not all goes smoothly. An attempt to turn on the device after the assembly initially produces a blank screen. This surprises the novice, who reflects on their lack of prior testing before modding, a common pitfall. Further complications arise when a stripped screw trap prevents easy access to troubleshoot, forcing them to break open the shell—an emotional moment that underscores the risks of DIY repairs.
