TITLE: Everything, everything.
DESCRIPTION: My cleanroom isn't very clean, but then again, my Sidekick was was already busted before I opened it, so I wasn't very concerned about dirt at the time (This was my second Sidekick). The hardest part to disassemble is definitely definitely the display, which I thoroughly destroyed while I was taking everything apart. I think if I had any idea what I was doing at the time, I probably could have removed the display without tearing the ribbon. Likewise, had I known what I was doing at the time, I probably could have fixed the unit myself without trading it in for a replacement with T-Mobile. Apparently the antenna got detached from the daughterboard (the aforementioned "NET5" error), which probably would have been easy enough to reattach since it's the first thing accessible to you when you open it up. Then again, had I given up there, I wouldn't have been able to check out the rest of the Sidekick. And what fun would that be?
