I'm happy I could help! Good luck with the cleaning!! 😁

@@FloralCatThank you 🍀🤗

I had a tough time getting the faceplate off, you have to be very patient with it! I used sharp/thin tweezers and a plastic prying tool specifically for electronics. Guitar picks work too! I started around the pierce opening but had more luck in the button area! Do NOT use a screwdriver

The entire shell and the clear face plate is made of plastic! I chipped mine because I was going too quickly and did not take my time. It is possible to remove it without risk of chipping if you go slow and use whatever tool you have to pry it off with very carefully! If you choose not to, you can still use a peroxide mixture to fix any yellowing! :)

@@FloralCat Ahh I see, thank you for the quick response! I will definitely make an attempt then.

Thank you! I would definitely recommend taking the device apart before any kind of lightning treatment because you do risk damaging the components and LCD. The front piece of the shell is the easiest to remove because it isn't soldered to anything, you just have to remove some screws and remove the motherboard. If you choose to not disassemble it, just be very careful when treating it!

@@FloralCat Thank you so much ! It’s my first time though i’ll try my best to dissemble it without breaking anything😅 restoring the original color would absolutely make my p’s prettier 🥹✨

@@AbbyN991 Just take your time with it and you'll be great! Good luck!! 😁

I get my capacitors (BOJACK 5X11mm 220uF 10V 220MFD 10Voltage ±20%) from Amazon but you can also find a ton of parts on eBay as well! It depends on what you need. You can also try to get other for parts/broken Tamas if you prefer that!

@@FloralCat thank you so much I will look into it!

You can easily clean the battery contacts with q-tips and rubbing alcohol or electronic cleaner without even taking it apart! You would only need to remove them if they are extremely rusted, like these were!

You have to be very very careful with it! I chipped mine because I was going too quick. It's best to use something small and thin like a guitar pick or a tool specifically for electronic repair. I used a very thin screwdriver and placed it under the seam where the pieces go at the top until it popped up. You can try to pry it from the bottom too but again, be very very careful and take your time so you dont break it!

@@FloralCat okay maam thank you and I also have a question did you go to school to learn how to do the part when you were taking off and putting back on the wires because it’s very cool

It is a TFT display! It is very very small at 1"x1". To be specific, the back reads; TFTIP5833-V1-E V120810-045E.A. 13

@@FloralCat Thank you very much! Do you by chance know where people can buy another one/an equivalent? My P’s screen is yellow & I believe a new LCD would fix that.

@@nomadicdragon7157 You coud try electronic shops or Amazon but my best suggestion would be to find a cheap/broken Ps or iDL to take the screen from!

Hi, may I know where you get the heating tools for re metal back the wire? I wanted to do like you take out the battery metal to clean it cause it rusted at the battery metal area.

@@Shinecrazygurl I got my soldering iron in a kit from Amazon! You can search "Electronic Soldering Kit" and it will come with everything you need. I would suggest watching a tutorial first because they get very very hot and you can burn yourself or damage the device.
