    I have.

    For the most part once the screen is removed (heat gun and playing card) everything else isn’t too hard. Some phones are more difficult.

    Fairphone is a neat idea, but I think it’s a challenging sell because people who don’t know how to fix a phone will either pay someone of buy another. And those of us willing to do it ourselves quickly learn they’re not hard to repair, usually. So the niche is very small.
