The tear down pictures are great, but in my Charge 3 I needed a T-1 and a T-2 driver
Same, my ifixit pro kit only had a driver for the external screws and did not come with a small enough driver to remove the screws inside the charge 3 unit. I'll need to get the smaller bit from a different kit.
Which step in the teardown guide needed the T1 driver?
This tear down was very easy to follow. The heart rate monitor was also sealed in with some adhesive for me too but a little heat gun took it right off. I had suspected water leaked in and that in fact was the culprit after inspecting the connection. corrosion all around the HR monitor.
