I'm Samantha Goldheart, I mostly go by Sam, and I have the honor of being the lead teardown engineer here at iFixit. Most of the time my writings will teach you valuable things about technology. This time they will be used to gab aimlessly about myself.
EDU
I got my degree from Cal Poly, SLO (the ''real'' Cal Poly) in Graphic Communication, which deals primarily with printing. I concentrated in the design end of things, got a minor in packaging, and was a student manager of the on-campus printshop. I also took way too many art, literature, typography, sociology and history courses. This bit was meant to explain that I really like learning, about everything. And I guess I was going to work in a warning about how much I love run-on sentences. And well-placed fragments. But maybe it has become a stream-of-conscious ramble that we should try to escape from.
What I do
My interests include MOVIES, BOOKS, ARTS, and GRATUITOUS POP CULTURE REFERENCES. I split my time between working, watching things, drawing things, and making things. And as you may have guessed, I'm on tumblr quite a bit.
Currently watching:
- The X Flies
- The Get Down
Currently reading:
- Solaris
- The Complete Sherlock Holmes
- East of Eden
Currently making:
- Tattoo designs
Awesome job! And great podcast find, we loved that series! Thanks for helping fix the world and daring to repair ;)
Hi there! That’s a Torx screw (six points) not a pentalobe (5-points), as noted in the instructions it’s a size T5 Torx =) Great job on your repair!

We did a video teardown of the Surface Pro 7 here!
Hey there, as listed at the top of this teardown, this is for entertainment purposes “This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your Google Pixel 3a, use our service manual.” We skip a lot of steps to get to the interesting reveals, the full repair manual comes a little later.
We did link to our Galaxy Buds teardown, twice!
I updated the step with the link to the video teardown! Screaming starts around1:30 ;)
