Chassis DisassemblyΒΆ
The Librem 5 is designed for longevity with lifetime software updates. Longevity also implies being able to repair a device outside of warranty. Purism plans to stock replacement components in the shop in case you need to replace your modem, camera, or even the main PCB.
Warning
Disassembling your Librem 5 may risk damaging it. Any damage from disassembly is not covered in your warranty. If your Librem 5 is under warranty, please contact support first before you attempt this process.
Warning
Be careful about screw lengths and keep the case screws and PCB screws separate. Using a long case screw in a PCB screw hole can damage the screen.
The WWAN and Wifi modems must be uninstalled before the rear section of the case can be removed.
The SIM card tray must be removed prior to removal of the mainboard.
