If your flipper is having issues, such as the common battery issue (only works when plugged in), here are some guides to assist.

Video teardown of the Flipper. Easy to follow and good visuals.

Official self repair guide (PDF). Geared towards the battery issue.

Official Hardware Schematic. May be out of date slightly.

Issues with stripped screws appears to be common. Be careful and use a quality screwdriver and/or bits!
