Display parts

The M5 screen guide warns that some panels omit ambient-light sensors, magnets or the microphone. It calls for fresh screen adhesive and points to Repair Assistant calibration if True Tone or auto-brightness stops working.

Battery and connector

The battery guide calls for new battery and screen adhesives. The USB-C charging-port guide also specifies adhesive for the port and screen; a charging complaint should be checked against a cable and debris before pricing that repair.
