M3 internals/disassambled

Hello,

someone posted an excellent link for M3 disassembly so i thought i might post it here.

It's a very old article. I'm interested in internal pictures of the new M3 (with WM8987) though.

I will try to find more information wrt the newest one, OTOH, perhaps, if the Wolfson codec package is the same as the older Phillips codec in terms of size and connections, it might be that the internals have not changed at all...
One way to look at the internals would be to find the FCC ID number for M3, if the M3 passed FCC authorization(which is very likely).
If i may ask, are you a developer?

No, I'm not a developer.

And I think Meizu players don't have FCC compliance at all -- they are a Chinese company and don't need the FCC's approval to sell anything. Remember that FCC only has jurisdiction in the U.S.

It's just for the US, but i now have read somewhere, that only the phone part of M8 will need to be approved by FCC in order to sell M8 in the US, and that Meizu has not dealt with FCC approvals yet.

I'd love to see the page that shows how to disassemble the M3. Its no longer available. Does anyone have a copy or updated link?

I have managed to read the text only by translating the archived copy which can be found at:

web. archive. org

My goal is to learn how to open the M3 to replace the battery.

It's easy to open it with something like a guitar pick (no screws), but with what would you replace the battery?

it has a custom model, don't know where to order it (and probably does not worth anyway, rather buy another model, but never again Meizu, especially not with built-in battery...)
