They hold the battery flat. Without it pulls the battery into a curve. I have plenty of spare parts, including motherboards, both Wi-Fi and 3G. I’m in the UK

Go to settings>Privacy & Security>Analytics & Improvements. Analytics Data: Look for Panic file. Search through this, my guess is it will show Missing sensor(s): mic2. You can Google this as well and it will tell you the potential faults.

It’s easier if you remove all 4 screws across the small top panel.

Lead-free solder paste. Small amounts are sold in syringes, eBay is a good source

The circuit board will need some heat prior to using a hot-air solder station. You will need to remove both cameras before subjecting to a pre-heat. Pre-heat to between 150 and 200c then apply enough heat to reflow the solder joints. A pair of tweezers will help remove the old USB socket. Once removed desolder the throu-holes and clean the surface mount pads. Apply small amounts of solder paste on the solder pads and fill the trou-holes, before placing the new USB socket . The PCB will need pre-heating again before finally using the hot-air solder gun to flow the solder joints. Check SMD pads and throu-holes have all flowed properly.

No, the touch circuitry is built into the motherboard.

Make sure you have a completely flat area, any bits of glass left will create a pivot point under the new glass. Buy thin double sided tape, 25mm width is good and apply to the back up f the chassis. Obviously check your replacement screen works before applying the adhesive.

Can you give us an update on compatibility with Amazon Voyage?

Thanks in advance

My guess is that the e-ink TFT screen is bonded to the glass digitizer with a UV curing optically clear adhesive. The chance of separating the broken digi and the e-ink part without cracking the TFT are close to impossible. I know they use a very strong thin wire system to separate LCD's on small devices like phones but not sure if the e-ink screen is strong. I have managed to source a couple of recycled working screens complete with digi and e-ink together for some customers. As soon as we have them here and done the repairs, we will experiment on getting one of the damaged ones apart to see if we can replace just the digitizer. REO Technology Ltd. www.reotech.co.uk

I'm looking for glass digitizer also.... Any clues?
