Attention!! The hardware of Himalaya is NOT so strong as it seems!
The Himalaya is using stupid charging connector(reduction),that is too big and dangerous for the system connector. Once in night I want to answer a call,then I've broken the built-in system connector off the mainboard. Normally in service You can pay for a new mainboard lot of money. I've just broken the warranty and I've repaired it myself. The connector pinout density is very high and therefore I need to use a micro-solder to repair. Well I've successfuly repaired that,but other people couldn't have this luck. Afterwards I need to clean the solded pinouts using IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol). Then was the joystick functionality damaged. I've cleaned it one more time and now is it working.
Therefore BE CAREFUL! for your lovely Himalaya.
