Well, I already had this to say.

However, since then, I've had to send my Mimas out for service back in December. They told me they had to replace the entire display assembly (I told them I had issues with the top half of pen input not working, but didn't tell them about some touch issues I was having). Turns out, I could only send it out on 23 December as they in the process of moving to a different office building, and had to wait a few days before they could start accepting mail at the new location and I would send it to them there. I know it's currently with them at their facility based on their replies.
I was hoping to get it back in time for a trip, but it seemed that the bezel is part of the display assembly despite this being a Mimas and not the later Alita, and they had encountered a long lead time on that. Bezel, front lighting, touch digitiser, display panel, and pen digitiser. 5 layers. I contacted them last Thursday, and they mentioned something along the lines of not being able to source it with the white bezel, so I'm hoping that if they still can't get it in white, that they can just get it in black and replace the back cover accordingly.
EDIT: I checked with them again on Monday and they clarified that the white parts are no longer being manufactured, and they're instead waiting on the black parts. Their estimate is now the end of January, which means I'll have to read on my tablet and not be able to take notes during the trip. Now back to the original post.
My main concern is with my user data, as I didn't want to do a complete reset, based on previous experiences with Android 6 in general. However, I did put it into flight mode and enabled a passcode (I gave them that) before sending it out.
I'll try to contact them somewhere around next Monday to Thursday to see if they have the part in stock, unless they reply to me.
What I can mention, is that they seem to be running their side of the chat through machine translations.
It's been 2 weeks and i already miss it!!
I really hope I can get it back before I have to leave, but it'll most likely not be the case.
