Probably came from Techrax’s garage sale. 😂😂😂
@@recitationtohear it's a potato video :)
Fr
Lol 😂😂😂
You are amazing 🤩 crazy 😜
Great news! His channel is dying. He's not getting the views he used to.
Generally that kind of damage only happens when you use an non-authorized finger on the phone
This is what happens when you wipe an unsupported device with an Apple Polishing Cloth
@@mrtmilf or when you wipe a supported device with a fake apple polishing cloth
non authorized ear up to earpiece speaker
I love how he takes the time to actually repair a phone properly. He doesn’t rush stuff and mess everything up like other repairs shops do, and he is overall one of my favorite repair channels. Great job Hugh! :D
Well hes making a video so it makes sense to make it properly lol.
Yeah he's not a repair shop
@@TheKitMurkit I know what you mean. My point is that he fixes stuff properly. (Better than a repair shop) sorry lol
Repair shops are more knowledgeable and experienced than hugh. I’d say you should try to go to a better repair shop if your saying that
He loves what he does and he does it best end of story.
I love watching these types of videos since it shows that "destroyed" can be fixed I work as a repair tech for a restaurant group and one of the major jobs is rebuilding equipment that has been poorly treated. I constantly hear employees say "we just need a new unit" when I tell them that no you need to take care of the stuff and you'll be shocked how long it'll last
The fact that you can just build a new phone BY HAND is amazing to me. Brilliant work. I’ve seen you do such transplants so many times, and it never stops to amaze.
It's not that impressive anybody can do it. I do tons of these at my repair shop
@@GeoJad with apple devices becoming harder to repair, it kinda is a skill now.
@@GeoJad well kudos to you too then! 😃
Old grandma be like: "You should keep it." "It still works"
One man’s destroyed iPhone is another man’s restoration project.
"the seller did a little bit more than drop it" yeah i think he accidentally dropped it infront of the highway before it flew off the highway and fell down a 500km hill
maybe
It looked more like it was stabbed with a knife. I wonder if the original owner had it in their pocket at the time.
I don't usually watch iPhone repair videos, but for yours, I make an exception. I love your work!
Same he is one of the few people I know who ACTUALLY does it properly unlike those other people 😂
Android pleb detected
@@Jeffery_Saulter Not ashamed of it either.
@@somebodyirrelevant9515 that’s ok, I hope things pick up for you soon.
10:29 that panic was real! glad you passed through that in the end anyways. very nice video again, hugh! you've saved it from going into the bin!
It is mesmerizing how you get something totally trashed and leave it at the end looking pristine. You are amazing, Hugh.
This is almost genius. The level of care you show to properly fix each minute bracket or part is amazing.
I love how even if the iPhone is absolutely destroyed, you still have a chance at repairing it because the logic board is untouched
Hey Hugh i love the way you take time to explain all the procedure
10:57 - That's the best peel and timing of "and we're done" you've done in a while! Love it! The minty phone looks 👌
Hugh, TY for your close up of disassembling & reassembling phones. I had a couple brakes in wrong locations that was preventing phone from closing properly.
Hey I just want to thank you for everything. Every video you posted made me feel better and better and i hope that you will continue because you are the one that made me choose this life and i am very happy that i have been there since you posted the iphone colection in 2017 and videos like the 2 dead apple watch, iphone 6 16GB, iphone 5c, iphone 4, the ipad that got run over, the bent s8, samsung s4, and i couldnt forget the transparent iphone 4s. that was enough for me to see every video of you ever. I am now studying technology thanks to you i found whats best for me and thanks to you i can do a job that i will like for my life and i am forever grateful that you did this for me even tho you never knew me Thank you.
You make repairs seem so simple. Love your videos, your repair and video editing skills are superb. Keep up the great work.
He really does doesn’t he? I’ve been able to use his videos to repair over a dozen i7s a couple of 1st & 2nd Gen SEs and even a iPad. If idk how to do it I simply check his vids and there’s always been a video on how for that product
I don't think I will get tired of watching these videos of you narrating and performing a quality repair with great details!
Amazing transformation. Well done!
Hugh I love your videos, you've inspired me to fix tech related things for people and myself, in fact if it wasn't for your inspiration my cousin's obliterated Galaxy Note 9 and severely damaged but otherwise working 10+ would be in a landfill instead of being fixed by me and used by my aunt and me respectively and your teardown instructions are amazing and detailed Thank you for everything dude and keep up the awesome work!
I’ve been waiting for this video! I’m tackling a similar repair for my nephews 11 for the very first time! His was destroyed almost as bad as this lol. Even bought my first parts programmer for it! I’ll post my results after! Thanks Hugh! Keep ‘em coming!
Which programmer did you get?
@@ahmedtwahir Qianli 3 in 1 iCopy Plus 2.1 for iPhone 7/8/8P/X/XR/XS/XSMAX/11 Pro Max LCD/Vibrator Transfer EEPROM Programmer & Battery/Lighting Board About $140 online but its a full kit. You can buy just the unit and the specific program board you need for a lot less. I just restore & flip phones as a side hustle and have started working on being able to handle newer phones now that the easier older models are no longer worth the effort/parts costs compared to resell value.
@@Twitchguy Awesome! I was looking at getting that or the JVS. I also flip and do repairs as a side hustle.
@@ahmedtwahir nice! I’ll let you know how this programmer performs. It’s definitely cheaper than the jvs but is a off brand I’ve not seen or heard of so it’s a wait n see if it does all it promises. I’ll post the results after I get everything 8/16
So follow up. Repair went great using his video but the parts programmer I bought for it the I copy plus 2.2 from qianli sucks! It was able to restore True Tone but didn’t remove the non genuine message and couldn’t read any i11 battery new or old so I could restore battery health so back to the drawing board on that
the camera shots you use to show the repaired phone is always a treat at the end of the video
Great video hugh! I really like the mint green! Quick question why did you not pair the screen and display? Is pairing not effective anymore?
That’s a mint repair! Thanks Hugh for the inspiration! I started repairing iPhone thanks to your videos 👍
Love the content Hugh!
☮️❤️
Always interesting to watch Dr Jeffreys operate. The Dr has brought more of these back to life than Dr Frankenstein.
oh how i wish we had guys like you here in kenya tbh such thorough work!
Thanks for the video. Awesome as usual
This is exactly what everyone needed. Just another great, yet interesting video by Hugh. I had a long day at work, working for 15 hours straight because everyone called in, and this video was just satisfying and to the point. Thank you Hugh.
You’ve kind of encouraged me to get into repair. I just have an XR, SE, and 3GS that need batteries, but it’s a start. I think my mid 10 pro needs a battery too.
Great job , love watching you fix phones.
Never has "resurrected" to describe the finished product been more correct. Well done and thanks for the tips with the battery so we don't end up shorting things out.
You know it’s a good day when Hugh posts a new vid
I love your videos and think you‘re one of the most capable 3rd party repairers. What I noticed tho was the missing gasket? Best regards.
He mentioned that the new housing came with it pre installed. He’d never seal a phone up without one lol
I saw the word "obliterated" & I had to view!! Great content g!
I've watched so many of these videos, I'm convinced I am a repair technician now😎
You are a tech deity from the vast levels of the internet not just a technician. 🔥🔥🔥
one day I'll be watching a video from High titled 'This iPhone has turned to dust, let's fix it' 😂😂Great video as always Hugh.
Right to repair must be the way forward with all the shortages that we are seeing. When will Apple acknowledge that and make repairs easier!
Probs never
They will never make repairs easier, they will make it harder instead. Boycott Apple and their products.
Awesome video as usual. Do you think you could do something complex like a Microsoft Surface book? I'd be curious to know how that might work.
Great job as always, I’m surprised that it was still alive after that (backlight)
Considering how these phones normally have family photos on the lock screen, I wasn't expecting to see the eraserhead radiator lady.
Hugh love your great videos 😃
I love your repairs👁👅👁
Bravo Hugh 👍🏼 where do you buy official battery ? 🙏🏻
Hi, I love your videos. Just for your information, if you want to get the battery health without warning you have to exchange the original battery flex through soldering into new battery and also use the battery programmer. Also, for the display, there is a small chip in the display, replace this chip into new display, then your display also works fine. Cheers
How big are these chips? Is this feasible with normal tools?
@@b0nkrates680 yes, just need heat gun, soldering flux and soldering paste for reballing the chip
I missed these so much😭
To be honest I had one worse than this and I fixed it. Also switching the color from black to red. But good job as always!
such satisfying work
You make it look so easy bro but was very interesting to watch
Hugh great video. Could the old battery be used to program and pair the new one on this phone
It is an original housing. If you look back at 6.17 you can see that at the bottom of the housing there is a QR code on the glass. But next to the qr code there is the apple logo that got covered with a black marker. Most likely due to avoid problems with custom if it gets imported or carried from another country
I really like the mint colour of the replacement housing
Love your video Brother 😍
Nani? VErofied user
Good stuff, mate 😊
I have to say, you attempt to repair stuff most off us would think was beyond hope!
that´s real dedication dude, amazing job!
Fabulous job as always 👏😎🇮🇪
When the term of damage “lawn mower” is used for this, it doesn’t look like it.
0:05 so obliterated. that iPhone 11 has suffered a lot of damage
Hey mate, I’m a new repair technician and I have a question because I’ve seen it before: how did you bypass the lock after factory resetting through iTunes?
Very interesting! Tnank you.
With the battery if you check phone repair guru's videos he shows that if you swap one of the boards from the old battery to your replacement one the phone thinks it's still using the 'genuine' battery. It does look a bit fiddly but it would be worth trying so you don't get the battery message.
Hey Hugh Jeffreys that mint green apple housing looks better than the black one that you took off and I would actually like too have that IPhone 11 it looks really cool.
Nice video, man! I do repair phones too, iPhone, Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi, Huawei ,Nokia and old phones with slide , flip, normal(with keyboard). Greetings from Romania 😁
Lady in the radiator action. Sweet!
lmao the huge text on this phone suggests it was definitely a lawn mower incident
This iPhone 11 has still smoother edges than mine
I really like the mint green color of this phone. I wonder if Apple has even offered this color choice at all.
The worst phone I repaired was a iPhone 8 Plus that had its back glass shattered, the phone overall was bent very badly, the screen was shattered and the LCD had major damage, finally opening the phone up it was full of motor oil
Wtf? Motor oil?
Maybe it identified itself as an engine
Please explain the “locking” you encountered: since you purchased it coming from a garage sales, I was expecting it to be cloud locked (hence useless) how did you manage to unlock it?
i dont think its cloud locked. The previous owner probs destroyed the phone completely on accident and then stash it away to a garage sale. They probs didnt bother locking the phone. So I guess a simple factory reset would do just fine
Yup. That got me as well. Either he buys a ton of iCloud locked phones, and only uses the known unlocked ones for his videos or he’s been really lucky buying phones from eBay. I don’t buy many phones off eBay, but the ones that I have; I’d say 70 percent of them have been iCloud locked, even with the seller stating otherwise. I’ve even had eBay dismiss a refund even though the phone was locked.
It was a bug
@@cdnron75 it's even more fun when the icloud owner is dead. Had a beautiful iPhone five given to me alongside an iPhone 4s(owner still alove and took it off icloud) and a second gen(no activation lock but it is obliterated due to its previous owner being a child)
Nice Video Hugh Jeffreys i am from North Carolina In the US
After seeing all the issues that frame had, you should've checked for the speaker grills but still a great job as all ways
That's why you just buy a case and tape the back glass, so once it breaks the tape will catch it, on my s22 I just left the shipping plastic on the glass.
Really enjoy your takedowns…way better than jerry something’s channel!!! Keep it going mate!
Mr. Hugh Jeffreys, I would like to find out which Infinix you could recommend buying
The phone's wallpaper is the chick from Eraserhead! @ 2:40
Hey I think the housing may be a real one. Toward the bottom of the phone on the left side of the charge port, they blacked out the Apple logo you’d find on original housings. The third party ones NEVER have this. Apple always brands their components with an Apple logo somewhere. Even the housings.
This is called work of art and the artist 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Can you please do a surface book repair?
Gotta love the battery acid ❤️
LiOn batteries do not contain any acid.

Hey I am starting my own phone repair buisiness at my school from what I learned in your videos! I saw the iPhone XR video and now looking at this one. The iPhone XR seems to have two different brand screens (LG and Toshiba) that are not incompatible with each other (touch screen issues). I have done Google searches and have not found much about this incompatibility. Does this occur on other phones besides the XR? I see in this video that you did not mention the brand of the screen replaced. Thank you! I am familiar with repairing Samsung phones but not iPhones btw
This is probably one of the few cases where if you took it to Apple and they told you “Maybe just get a new one” it would be acceptable.
best part is "and we are done.." love from Sri Lanka
You can actually repair the Display /Battery warning... For battery you need to take the old Battery flex and weld it onto the new battery and then it should work, and for Display you need to transfer the Original chip on the display onto the new display after that it works
How did you get into phone repair? And can you help me get into it as I am a beginner and have zero experience in this?
were you satisfied the refurb screen actually used a genuine lcd? looks like it has a weird tint to me
As always Hugh Jeffreys, THANK YOU as big as the sky ..
I wish he would say what the total price was and how long it took. You can't really tell if something was worth it if you don't know what the price was. Keeping stuff out of the landfill is always noble but sometimes it just makes a lot more sense to use a destroyed device for parts than to do a full rebuild like this.
Any reason why you never attempted to copy the device ID of the screen and battery? Where they damaged beyond repair to the point it can no longer be read?
You skipped the part of true tone transfer to the new display. Not sure if it works.
i think you should buy the reflashing device for the battery and the screen, it will help you aloy
Hey I’m trying to get into phone repairs, where do you get your housing and lcd displays from
I love the digs into the Apple core.😂🤣
Hey Hugh! I have an old iPhone XR that you can do a repair on and keep. the screen is cracked and is also bleeding terribly. Idk what happened to it but I gave it to my mom at one point and she said she lightly dropped it now it doesn’t get that bright and has like a gross yellow bleeding coming from the screen. Lmk if you want it and I can send it
Only a minute since! Perfect timing.
This may be a stupid question but do you pair your display so as to retain True Tone?
My favourite type of vids
Nice repair, but ovely complicated layout and the software bollocks are i have refused to use/own an iphone.
