With YouTube tutorials and iFixit instructions all I needed was a screwdriver and parts from AliExpress. I replaced 4 times a screen and 3 times a battery in my wife's BQ Aquaris X until the motherboard gave up. It still probably is repairable, but not as easy. The phone had seen too much water in it's life... I repaired in my time also: Moto G1, Nexus 5X and Pixel 1. It was all not difficult. Now I wonder how it will go with Moto G7 that my wife has when its time will come.

That's one of the reasons I think about Fairphone, but with my experience I bought for myself Pixel 1 with a broken screen, that I repaired myself. Now my phone is all good except software and that makes me think about the Fairphone again. Can't wait until Linux phones will get better, maybe Pinephone 3 will be a good main phone. But I would like to see a small phone, like latest Unihertz Jelly, but without an awful Mediatek SoC.
