Repair parts and MNT Shop

MNT Pocket Reform
1

There are post I read on community forums about faulty charging board issue got me a little bit paranoid.

I always have critical spare part laying around for the purpose of if something go wrong, I could make it back to working condition immediately.

I live in Taiwan and Japan most of the time, running through RMA process or receive repair parts would take few weeks from Germany.

I hope to know is there an approximate time that individual parts would be available in MNT Shop?

*Sorry for this duplicated question I posted on forums, I send the same questions to support earlier and my paranoia and impatience lead me to post again here.

Also curious about this, revived my reform from CS recently, looking forward to pocket reform.

This really depends on what parts you are looking for. Do you want a spare for each part in your entire Pocket?

I think there’s another post here asking about spare keyboards to swap between the choc white & choc red switches.

I know that I would be interested in that.

From the post, I’d assume they’d like to be reassured that potential faulty/failing parts could be replaced.

As I understand it they do stock some replacements for warranty repair, and if you have specific parts you’d like extras of you should send an email to ask about purchasing them. They may not want to sell every SKU through the store because it would make the shop overwhelming to browse, and it would also require pricing out every individual part.

I think charging board, screen and keyboard is critical part that would be nice to have easy access in MNT Shop since these three would more likely produce some problem after time.

I just bought a recommended replacement screen for my pocket reform from AliBaba incase you wish to have one just incase. It was actually due to a small piece of dust between the acrylic and display that was annoying me. Yet to replace it though. It cost around ¥5000. I would agree a replacement keyboard would be nice or keys.

I got 3 extra JDI screen on eBay, seller gave me some discount for total price around 250 USD.

Just want to point out that it’s pretty easy to get new PCBs made, and populating virtually everything except some of the components of the CPU modules is doable in a home shop. @jacqueline even built a reform herself: I'm building my own reform! - #6 by jacqueline
