iFixit has disassembled the Galaxy Alpha and Samsung Smartphone with metal frame given only a mediocre rating for the ease of repair. Reason is that for all interventions only the strong glued display must be removed.
The hobbyist from iFixit have disassembled Samsung Galaxy Alpha and examined its repair ability. They came at a mediocre result, although again can simply be removed by removing the rear also with the Galaxy Alpha battery.
One of the main reasons for the mediocre rating is that for the easy removal of the battery, no further intervention is possible without removing the glued display. Although located in the battery compartment screws whose solution but without removing the screen without consequences.
A lot of glue in the Display
The fact that the display has to be removed for repairs, according to iFixit is to be less of a problem – especially because after its removal more components the Galaxy are Alpha thanks to modular construction easy to remove and replace. Often the display extension of one of the first steps in disassembling a smartphone.
The display itself is fixed, however, the Galaxy Alpha with plenty of glue: The iFixit team required claims to a half hour using a heat pad to loosen the glue and remove the screen. The Repairmen due to the thinness of the display panels had to be careful that it does not break.
components installed in modules
When the display is expanded, the casing of the Galaxy Alpha can be taken apart. The motherboard comes with Exynos chip and other components is then relatively easy to disassemble. Also wear components such as the cable of the home buttons are accessible when another daughter board is removed. The iFixit team found it a bit cumbersome, however, that more or less the complete smartphone needs to be taken apart to replace, for example, the vibration unit. Expressed in the usual iFixit score, the Galaxy Alpha receives particular due to the strongly bonded displays only five of ten meters. The new iPhone 6 was to compare seven out of ten. (Tk)
