@montalex thanks for the data point.
I just figured that if they get a device with a busted screen that's being parted out, they wouldn't be able to test them all, and someone might report it lost instead of de-registering it properly.

My main computer is a Windows 10, with a Debian VM I used for the kindle hacks I wrote. I also have access to OSX, but none with a main regular linux partition.
I have not popped off the RF shields.
This second cleaning I gave them I soaked them and I had an agitator ( an old electric toothbrush ) that I used to vibrate the back of the motherboard where the RF shields are, to try to get a better cleaning under there.
I was not able to pop the shields off using my plastic spudgers, using a reasonable amount of force, and I was hesitant to go too much stronger.
I don't have a heat gun, and my soldering iron is garbage :-) .
If I get to the point where I'm actually ready to order a new board, I'll be more comfortable using more force to get them off.
