(Slightly off-topic) How to repair a device for pmOS (self.postmarketos)

submitted 3 months ago by tada to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

This is slightly off-topic, but I've been looking for a device to run PostmarketOS and discovered that I had a Mi A1 in my drawer, which as I've discovered is pretty well supported.

Cool! Just one problem, it has a broken screen (not just the glass, but also the LCD).

I have an iFixit kit, but not a replacement screen and I'm looking for tips about where I could acquire one.

I'm looking for something that is high quality (not necessarily OEM, but close enough) and won't fail on me after some time. It should preferrably be easily shippable to Europe (Czechia).

Anyone have any knowledge of that sort?

Mi phone parts are probably available on aliexpress, quality unknown.

Yeah, I know…

But Ali is as you said "quality unknown".

But thanks anyways.
