20-40 Minutes? ... more like 10 ... and I wasn't even pushing it
Thanks for your comment! The time estimate was set a little too high, you're right. I've adjusted it!
I can confirm that you need a #0 screwdriver, not a #00, as has been changed in the latest unchecked version.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for you comment! While a #0 screwdriver will work, we recommend a #00 as Fairphone themselves do, see their website: "The only tool you will need is a Phillips #00 screwdriver to access all spare parts of the Fairphone 4."
