Patento BS has 15 named part types but 16 physical pieces because Speaker appears twice. The verified reconciliation totals 15 screws: Mainboard 3, Back Panel 5, Battery Cover 1, two audio boards 1 each and Upper Panel 4.
Some secondary guides collapse repeated pieces or report 16 screws. This page follows the corrected ledger. The Hinge is the sixteenth physical piece in the sequence; it is not an extra screw.
Interactive checklist
Patento BS assembly order.
Top-half trap
Finish the hinge before the upper shell.
The two displays, speaker pair and audio boards make the top half easy to misread. Confirm both speakers and the Top Wire, then place the Hinge before closing with the four-screw Upper Panel. If the shell refuses to close, do not force the final layer—reopen the top stack.
Closure check
15 screws, 16 pieces.
The two totals measure different things. Use both: a 15-screw audit catches fastening errors, while the 16-piece count catches a missing second speaker or hinge.
Evidence
Why this differs from older summaries.
The site reconciled the assembly rows against multiple collected records and retained the correction as canonical. We still lack an original current-build capture, so the sequence remains source-reported.
