Performed major “surgery” on my Air 2 today. Replaced the front arm. The first time soldering anything and I’m 55!! 🤣IMG_2718.jpeg

Good job!
 
1. Awesome bro! I bet you have a huge feeling of accomplishment/success!
2. Where did you get the replacement parts & instructions to achieve this, if you don't mind me asking?

2b. Here is the video I followed:

Hope this helps.

Great stuff, she just needs to rest now until the Anaesthetic wears off, is she being kept in overnight and discharged tomorrow ? :D:D

She spent the night in the NICU, now recovering at home in her own bed. She's been able to keep juice down and resting. We hope she'll be able to get up and out and stretch her legs this weekend. 😀
