Hey guys I figured out how to put the bracket back on with out killing the mobo. Here follow this:

So first off u need to look back at the part where u take off the bracket. That way u know what way the bracket came off as. This might not matter but I couldn’t get mine with out lining it up correctly from when I removed it so do that first.

Then put new thermal paste on the CPU>put heatsink threw mobo and flip the mobo over.

Now align the bracket as u did before u took it off, then hook the bracket on one end of the heatsink screw holes. Now push firmly down on the opposite screw hole from the one u are notched on right now. If u do it right u should have those 2 brackets parts notched on the screw holes. If not take off the brackets and try again. Once done with the first set simply do the same thing to the last set.

Hope this helps for those like me who got confused when there wasn’t a section showing how to put the bracket back on.

Why didn’t u show us how to reinstall the X clamp bracket. Its not as easy as just sticking it on so maybe don’t forget that.

You mean if iFixit will be able to sell replacements likely yes but since its the OLED variant it will take time for them to get quality replacements out. Just be patient and don’t break your XS series phone that quick. lol

Ya I thought there would be one of you guys here. You realize no ones changing there mind even if you don’t buy there phone in protest, Right? Millions other will just buy it, cause they don’t give a crap about moving away from the past as you so pathetically continue to hold onto.

So keep complaining little one it means nothing to anyone, but it is funny for those self aware enough to laugh at your stupidity. In thinking anyone would change because your pathetic ass told them too. You won’t ever have that power but keep trying, it makes for an adorable scene thats for sure.

Can someone please post what the BOM cost is or Bare materials cost. For both models of course we had it for them last year but no one seems to be talking about it hear or anywhere. So ya that info would be much appreciated

thanks
