How to Clean & Reassemble Devices in ReStory

Inspect every side, use the notepad/status cues, clean loose parts manually when an achievement requires it, then rebuild in reverse disassembly order.

Find the part you missed

  1. 01

    Change the view

    Check the center, left and right areas of the workspace; small items can sit outside the first view.

  2. 02

    Use the task cues

    The notepad can identify the remaining category and highlight relevant pieces during normal jobs.

  3. 03

    Inspect loose components

    Select pieces individually and look for dirty, damaged or missing-state indicators.

  4. 04

    Check what is still on the bench

    A loose screw, cover, battery or bracket often means the device is not fully assembled.

Manual cleaning vs ultrasonic bath

The automatic bath is useful for throughput. However, current achievement-guide evidence says its cleaning may not advance the manual part-cleaning counters used by Big cleaning! and Galactic cleaning!. If you are farming those achievements, clean parts manually and keep the work in one save.

Reassembly rule

  • Start with the deepest component that was removed last.
  • Seat cables, boards and shields before outer shells.
  • Install batteries/removable covers after the internal stack is complete.
  • If a part will not place, another lower layer or fastener is probably missing.
