Yeah, I watched two videos (there seem to be only two), and they both show different things, so I was a bit concerned.

if the device is working then I would not do it unnecessarily. keep it on the charger overnights and read and see if it lasts you or not. if it does there's not much reason to do anything, and even then you could consider using a powerbank instead of risking it

IMHO the video shows completely wrong method of opening it (the front bezel can be taken off as one piece, without separating it in bezel+IRguide)
Hmm, yeah, I read your posts on another thread ... If it will last me at least one day, I think this is the advice I will follow. I charge my phone every night anyway, so its no big deal. As before, my only real concern is the battery swelling or exploding and destroying the screen.
