Exactly what I was thinking. Probably about as repairable as you can make an insanely complex device like this. The only setbacks were some hidden clips, which someone with proper knowledge can figure out. Outside of that the almost exclusive use of (the same) screws is very impressive and indeed nice to see.

To anyone intending to repair a Quest Pro: You DON'T need to unglue the front glass! The frame it is glued to is only held by 6 screws accessible from the lens side: 2 at the nose, 2 in the metal thingies on the very left/right of headset, and 2 a bit below these partially obscured by the rubber around lenses. There also is a latch right at the bottom of each of the 2 bigger camera "windows", they are kinda easy to miss and are latched well.

The mystery circuit is probably not *measuring* battery swell since resistance strain gauges don't look like that. It could still be detecting battery swell past a certain point if there are matching contacts somewhere.
@JayOhm

The "mystery circuitry" in the back really is 100% swelling detection. These flex thingies have nothing but wires and large exposed contact pads (pairs in 3 rows + separate center), AND right against them on the cover there is conductive "metal sandpaper", very obviously intended to short the contacts if they touch hard enough. Won't test what happens when the pads are shorted, not on my unit, in case it electronically "bricks" the battery for good. I intend to keep using the device after iFixit lol. P.S. This teardown viceo has been quite helpful so far.

I’ve got to say, although this device seems to be extremely tedious to take apart, it’s not extremely hard. I know that tedious and hard are synonyms, but let me explain. From this video, I can see that, although the device has lots of screws and lots of clips and other components that need to be taken off, there’s not much adhesive. I think that if you are not a beginner repair person, you could probably repair this with more success than repairing an Apple product.

I guess the "little flex cables" on the batteries are used to charge the lipo batteries at the factory in an easier way than using an USB-C cable. The multiple contact points are use for the negative, positive and the others to balance each individual cells. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I only just now noticed this but for certain things it was sort of not truly representative to what most people are used to for repairing device. You're trying to set a value according to either people's ability to repair stuff or how easily it is to get the initial repair parts that are needed to be able to repair your device. for most devices these days it is getting harder and harder to be able to receive parts for new devices that come out. manufacturers are making it difficult to no longer provide third-party parts afterwards a device has been released at the same time. If the manufacturer releases third party parts to soon then also to that cuts into the revenue of you buying another new device that you don't need to fix the one that you currently have that's broken at the same time. Apple is doing the same strategy some what currently. it boils down to ROI for these massive companies that spend years making new devices for us to enjoy for what most people are taking for granted and how just a few years ago we didn't have all this fancy stuff. every year the longer things go on for companies are always trying to find ways to protect their investments of their new devices that they release.
@designwithphoenix

imagine releasing a new device only for a week later The manufacturer that you contracted with started releasing parts on the internet for people to be able to fix their own devices without having to come to you for you to come to the manufacturer and ask for a warranty on your broken device and then pigeon hold you into telling you that the warranty won't be covered and that then your device that you have is no longer repairable and that you have to buy a new one. instead of you just being able to get the part it is that you need and to be able to repair it yourself without having to ask the company for the warranty and to get a free brand new device that works from the one that was broken that you turned in.

Since this is a prosumer/business device, it is absolved of criticism regarding price to some degree. The Quest Pro is a good deal. It's just too expensive for consumers if the Quest 3 tries to parody even half of the QP's functionality. If Lamborghini made an Aventador, and proceeded to sell it at-cost as a way to appeal to frugally minded consumers, it would still be too expensive for most people. With time Meta will, hopefully, take what they learned in producing this device and apply it in their future designs in order to make more cost optimized designs for the consumers they no doubt would like to pull into their metaverse.
