hey guys I'm going to lynge and this is
the iFixit rundown where I give you all
the news that happened this month and I
fix it after last month's flurry of tear
downs things slowed down a bit in May
but we did take apart a couple of really
interesting devices we tore down the
huawei p9 and we're pleasantly surprised
by a lot on the inside but we're
confused by our entry screws and lobes
say it isn't so
on a happy note the p9 is modular and
has limited adhesive the fancy dual rear
facing camera is on a single ribbon
cable but is made of two image sensors
an ordinary 12 megapixel RGB sensor and
a 12 megapixel monochrome sensor for
depth and contrast as well as black and
white photos the dual camera assembly is
noticeably shorter than the bump
inducing iPhone 6s camera but not by
much if you're wondering the Huawei p9
scored a pretty decent seven out of 10
on our repairability scale then we
cracked open the pixel seed made by
Google the hardware is nicely
streamlined but straight cable
booby-traps baffle the components are
wonderfully modular but invented in blue
maybe the C and pixel C stands for
confusion the heavily adhered battery of
the pixel C comes in at 34.2 watt hours
which beats the 27.9 watt hours in the
nine point seven inch iPad pro but lags
behind the surface probe fors 38.2 watt
our powerhouse check out both these tear
downs and see what score we gave the
pixel C on a fix-it comm head over to
our blog to see a story on circuit
classics which are beautiful circuit
boards that will hopefully help teach a
whole new generation of tinker's how to
understand build and fix electronics
delightfully old-school by design
circuit classics were engineered by
Starr Simpson and inspired by the work
of tinkering legend forest M MEMS the
third circuit classics bring mimzy's
beginning projects off the page and into
a real-life electronics kit
we also have a story about our new
pentalobe screw sightings they're not
just in iPhones anymore as we mentioned
before the huawei p9 is now using Pinta
lobes in their phones but we also found
some in the new mazing pro 6 while the
pentalobe is becoming more common it's a
screw that is only meant to be used once
or twice the pentalobe has a shallow
draft and rounded lobes so it's easy to
strip it may look nice but let's not
forget it's widely used to keep owners
out of their devices check out the full
story and our take on this disappointing
trend over at our blog at a fix-it org
if you're anything like me you're game
boy never left your pants and while this
nearly indestructible box fared well
over the years my speaker had a little
Capri Sun damaged so I made a quick
repair video for you even if your game
boy is chugging along just fine you're
gonna want to watch this nostalgic retro
repair batteries are not built to last
forever if you think the battery in your
iPhone 6s plus is getting a little
sluggish it might be time to replace it
lucky for you we have a repair video on
our channel where I show you how to do
just that
want some free iFixit swag of course you
do well we have what you want and all
you have to do is tweet me a picture
using our tools and we'll send one lucky
winner a couple of our favorite teams
