Perfect! I'm glad to hear that we could help you out with getting this repaired. We're always happy to assist and will always be here for any needs you may have.
Kit had everything needed and some select extras, just incase. Great packaging with a focus on everything getting shipped safely and undamaged. I also believe it arrived 2 days early. Video was fairly helpful with only one cable that was a pain, but that's not really on these folks, that's apples design.
