Right now I’m trying to craft the perfect profile page. I’m two sentences in and it’s going great.
In a broader sense, I’m working at iFixit as a technical writer, tinkerer, and photographer. I take things apart, figure out how they work, take pictures, and tell everyone about it. Basically, I turned some of my early hobbies into a profession—but now I don’t break things but now I break slightly fewer things.
I spend most of my time in the office writing the best instructions on the internet, but I’ve been lucky enough to work on some other pretty cool projects, too. I’ve appeared on TWiT, helped review a $100 iPhone X, written manuals for Motorola, and consulted on a few engineering and design projects. One time, I even got to fly to Sydney, Australia as part of our team racing to tear down the first iPhone X.

Before I got here and started playing with gadgets, I graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a degree in mechanical engineering, concentrating in mechatronics. As part of my degree I built an autonomous car that could drive upside-down (it also won the tug of war contest), helped start the Cal Poly Prototype Vehicles (PROVE) Lab, and co-designed the suspension for Dawn, PROVE Lab’s land speed record challenging solar car.

On my way to iFixit I worked as a mechatronic engineer for an autonomous ground vehicle manufacturer, a sandwich engineer at a sandwich shop, and a bike mechanic. In terms of skills applicable to everyday life, my experience as a sandwich engineer has proved invaluable (I really enjoy a good sandwich).
Okay I have other hobbies, but I spend most of my free time riding bikes, racing bikes, or doing other bike-related doings.
If I’m not on or near a bike, I’m probably rock climbing, backpacking, taking pictures of things, playing video games, reading a book, watching anime, taking stuff apart, or fixing something that I acquired because it “just needs a little work”.

We don’t have a fix kit available for this yet, but at the top of this guide you’ll find lists of the necessary parts and tools. Good luck with the screen replacement!
Sorry to hear about the trouble! If you bought an iFixit battery, please contact our customer support team and they would be happy to assist you.
Hi Laurent, it sounds like you’re on the right track—continue gradually applying more heat until the adhesive softens a little. Unfortunately these screens are super hard to remove. Just be careful about applying too much heat at once in a small area as that could damage the screen.
Hi Jim, the display opens from the left side, toward the right side. It should look like the back cover of a book. Hope this helps. Good luck with the repair!
If you break the fingerprint sensor cable there’s a chance that the phone will continue working, but the fingerprint sensor will not work.
Hi Santhosh, the cameras are different models in the OnePlus 1, 2, and 3, so they are most likely not interchangeable.
I don’t know where you’d find a table, but you should need an A1494 battery for your MacBook, which you can find in our store. The A1417 battery is for 2012-2013 MacBook Pro’s.
I apologize for missing these comments initially, but yes that’s correct, the screen is removed now and the rest of the guide goes on to other parts, either in the phone or on the back of the screen. Good luck with the repair!
You should just need to pull straight up, but make sure you’re pulling on the wires or the gray plug—do not pull on the black socket or it can snap off of the motherboard.
