Mission:
The iFixit Ralph teams objective is to provide written instructions for repairing a Samsung

ages of the public. Our job will be to break the computer down as a team and create new and
efficient ways to fix the main component. Huy, our designated photographer will photograph the
elements of the computer demonstrating the next required step, creating a more focused and
helpful experience for the global viewers. Our research managers, Huy and Alexis, will lead the
team in the production process of the manual, finding efficient solutions. The editor, Tracy Mae,
