This was sent to me by one of you guys and it's a microwaved iPhone 14 pro. I've never seen nor fixed a phone that has been microwaved so I'm not sure how repairable this is.

First mate
Bread👍
hi :)
Instead of these free repairs, can you send me the free iphone as a gift 🙈♥️😇
i love ur vids!
Thats actually very kind of you to do the repair for free considering the amount of time you spent and all that Great work PRG!
Yeah because he totally didn't get a youtube video out of it. Also $1400 hahaha, nice fake invoice.
@@Beeeeeeeeeee one KZhead video isn't that likely to pay the full cost but I get u
@kelvinasante8587 One KZhead video may not get the full price of the repair, but it also builds the channel - more subscribers and good PR.
He has 4.3 mill subs, and he won't get the full cost of repair? Nice joke @@sparky6757
And also a way to consent to drunk people stupidity
The interposer is the thing that connects the thing between the silicon and the solder pads on the chip, and the crystal I believe is for system clock cycles
Interposer connects the two Half's of the board
Thanks for the obviousness 💀
@thekidiggy4423 bro who was this obvious to?
@@durillongaming uh me? Duhh
@@UntitledGamer04 💀 bro
I'm guessing the metal all around acted as a shield, and the energy only managed to pass through the gaps (that are specifically made to let RF energy pass through, like wifi), so it only damaged the things close to the antenna gaps. Super interesting! RF energy "likes" corners so that would explain the burnt/melted things close to the corners too, it got hot!
I just saw the colors (purple to blue) of the steel frame at 8:12 which indicates that it heated up to just about 300°C/570°F! So..... I guess many of the internal components must have taken damage from overheating if not from short circuits directly from the magnetron... Also because of the possible local hotspots it might be that the pcbs partially delaminated and that bga components (memory/cpu/ics and controllers and such) could get broken off the pcb partially (cold solder joints) also because of the tension that is generated when the heat is not even.
I would also assume that the storage and battery had been overheated in the microwave (from the frame heating up that much). Therefore I (personally) would not trust that battery at all and the lifetime of the storage might also have been reduced because of this...
Yeah diffraction. Makes sense
you learn something everyday with broken phones and these videos. keep up the good work
I'm amazed the 14 Pro managed to survive 30 seconds in a (Possibly High power setting) Microwave!
it didnt mostly, he basically built a new phone
@@uzuwi9782 If some parts he used were reused parts, then that isn't bad!
This fits one of PRG's favourite lines: STOPPP!!! What the hell are you doing😂
YEESS I'M BACK LET'S GOOOO. this is my 6th heart on this channel so i think I'll claim that record ❤️
Nice one man. How kind of you to repair it for free. God bless 🙏
All that shielding around the assorted components acted like a faraday cage and diverted the microwaves away from the critical components
This dude literally done what 4chan pranks decades ago, i remember in the early 2010s 4chan posted a prank "microwaving you phone can charge the battery from 0 - 100% for less than 2 minutes"
Bro was drunk that he fu🎉king microwaved his phone
Tasty lmao
I loved the part 🎉
damn he must have had a really bad day at work or something
You are way to nice man!!! I love it! I haven't subbed but watched your videos randomly, but now I am because of that!
I appreciate that!
Man I love your tenacity! I also really like your shorts and the presentation of your videos.
i hope in the future microwaves can be designed to automatically stop as soon as something that is metallic or metallic like that isnt suppose to be in microwave and it would beep loudly with something like ERR on display
As long as I'm able to disable it for when I want to buy a cheap microwave to do fun stupid shit
@@Sirrio91 it'd be cool to have a failsafe i think, prevents senseless damage
@@ivibivivgig6425 a cheap microwave is a metal sheet box, has a transformer (that often also spins the table) and a magnetron. You might find them for as little as 10€. No "smarts" 😬 That kind of feature would be more on the expensive models and also as a "sales argument" big in the ads... Especially since the market of such devices is super competitive and many people really need nothing on their microwave besides 2 knobs to turn for time and "power" (which is not even really a power control most of the times but still works well enough)
Or just stop using a microwave altogether
Just don't be drunk near a microwave. Or just don't get drunk.
Great work bro... 🤜🤜
lol quite outrageous that the customer had not subscribed to the channel and that was the only condition for the free repair
i just finished my first ever screen repair on an iphone xr. super excited to continue doing this. thanks for inspiring me.
Great job man 👏
This guy is a legend, free of charge, I am subscribed but you earned a like and my respect, keep helping bud
To be honest watching your videos makes me to learn repair which is impossible haha. I love how you care and fix the phones. Thumbs 👍 amazing videos
Start Small, Repair your own.
This repair makes me wish I had coughed up extra for a fully rebuilt chassis for my 11. I had cracked the back glass and did a housing swap. I tried going cheap and only had some of the components like the buttons and charging coil installed, but I didn't have the rest of the cables pre-installed and I had the same bootlooping issue once I put the phone back together. What would've costed me an additional $20 instead cost me the phone lol
This guy is like the ChrisFix of smartphones
I literally thought the exact same thing lmao except Chris actually does tutorials instead of just filming him doing something
What a legend for doing the whole repair for free even though the guy wasnt subscribed. Got my sub for sure.
Been watching your vids and I was able to fix my iPhone 11 on my own, sadly wasn’t an original Apple screen I was able to get but its still good and works 🤞
i love your video's a lot thank you for making them can you please do more video reapers for android phones??????
I just subscribed on his behalf as this channel is awesome 🙌🏻
I would say the problem was with antenna or charging port. When my i11 charging port was dammaged, I disconnected it and it was rebooting every 3 minutes as well
that's so nice of you
hiya love your videos dude !
Great Work Bro keep nice Content
bro took “cook the phone” to seriously💀
Bro was cooking 🔥🔥🔥
Surprising the microwaves didn’t fry the logic to oblivion.
I always wondered if its possible to use SE3 components in 13 housing, like how compatible are those two phones?
To answer this question by yourself, think about this : Can you put iPhone 8 components into an iPhone 13 ? Because, the parts are almost the same, you can interchange the parts between them and it will work fine.
After all that repairing, I would still save all data and completely reinstall the operating system just to make sure it has rewritten, the nand probably got some data values changed due to magnetic radiation of the microwave.
You said he was drunk and at the end of the video you said he needs it all for school😂
He’s underage drinking???!!!
Smoked a blunt on Christmas morning and ended up here 😂 Merry Christmas
you didn't need to change the housing.. the iphone 14 line will reboot if it doesn't read a charger port and a power button so if you disconnect the charging port thinking it will stop the boot loop it will NOT because you need to connect a new one but it must me installed not just hanging out like we do to iphone 8 an such.. but overall i like the video!!
Props for doing the repair for free!
Amazing Video! I have a question I have a Iphone 7.(without cracks but some scratches on the back) Should I keep it or should i sell it? And how much?
Hi @PhoneRepairGuru I'm trying to reach out to you. Issue I'm facing: On low brightness, the iphone 13 mini screen turn a little green and not if i increase the brightness. What can be the problem?
Yooo it’s Shawn K microwaving that flip phone at the beginning!
Hey phone repair guru I’ve been watching your videos even me without having a phone
You Sir give me hope that my iPad mini 2 can be fixed, connector on the motherboard is damaged. Awesome video, very informative! (:
I guess I finally have figured out a use for jerryrigeverythings flame test. Identifying when a phone screen got so hot the amoled started to burn. It turns a lovely golden color
It’s always that “Letssss ooopenn it up”😂
The inside of the phone is pretty good because the microwabes that the microwave makes do not go trhought metal. That is the reason of why everything that was near the charging port was worse than everything else.
The fact that you didn't charge him speaks a lot about you. There's people who would probably charge double the brand new phones price and you did it for free. Amazing job.👏
Video is moneytized. You watched a sponsor ad. You are on KZhead. We live in a capitalist world.
@@DjSwiti still, the dude got a free repair. Not everyone does that, on youtube or not.
@@mn1083 that is what I meant, he got a free repair because there's a video to moneytize his time. He wouldn't have done it if it wasn't to make a video about it
@@DjSwiti the 120k views definitely didn't pay for the repair, but I get what u mean.
@@mn1083 stop hiding your eyes with your hands. See the truth please.
Thank God I'm subscribed 😊
He just wanted to "COOK" his phone like phone repair guru does but faster😂😂😂
ur a good phone repairer❤
You and customer are lucky guys! If I were in your place and PanicLog said that problem on CPU\NAND - I'd better send this on CPU reball
Would you be able to restore an ipod touch 4th gen? It has a spicy pillow and it's missing the home button and the screen has to be lifted away because it was about to break from the battery.
Do you know how much you’ll charge for a cracked back glass for iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’ve upgraded to 15 pro max and can’t fix back glass and no shops will buy it.
I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 lol I would consider myself as a OG Subscriber keep the good content Coming 🎉
What is that metal shelf looking thing sitting on top of your work mat?
That sound when it went off, very similar to nollywood film soundtrack
Bro really thought his phone was popcorn 💀
Watching your channel is therapeutic. Alsooo...I dropped my phone off my house and then accidentally slammed it in my car door. Going to change my own screen with your direction. Fingers crossed!
Goodluck!
This is the reason why phone manuals have DO NOT USE MICROWAVE TO DRY 😂
wait why did the back camera etc work with the back housing from the other phone? Aren't these parts serialized?
Where do you buy the housing?
Always love your work! I hope the guy subscribed too by now!
I can’t believe you fixed that
Good job!
Was waiting for “Open It Up”🤭😅
This why u dont drinks kids😂
Dudes still in school and drinks💀
A wise man once said ..don't get drunk
Woah! He must’ve really wanted something to eat so he put his Apple iPhone in the microwave cuz he thought it was an apple!! Time to also try it :D
the disconnecting method doesnt always work, on my iphone X i actually had to plug in a working port in order to make it stop bootlooping
Love the content @PhoneRepairGuru!🍐
“Hey im getting hungry “ *holds iPhone and microwaveable burrito *puts iPhone instead of burrito *turns on microwave “ oh shi-
You know it’s a good day when prg uploads
Every time someone sends and iphone and wants it repaired because of the photos, I always wonder… Isn’t the icloud service on by default and all the photos saved on there? If I lost my phone I know I could acceess everything that’s important to me thanks to my cloud accounts like icloud, google drive, mega, etc…
Where do you get all the spare parts of all smartphones??😃❤️
Bro is blessed with the bill
That was cool too see. You should of just hit subscribe for him and told them you did in the invoice as a discount coupon
microwaving my phone and charging my popcorn.
This guy is a legend
1:24 how the back still good but the front screen it’s 100% toasted
Bro cant believe you do this for free 🙈 can I send in some weird broken phones?
Is getting a flipper zero worth the money?
Anyone remember the time Mr. Beast toasted a iPhone 6 while being microwaved by a microwave being microwaved and it survived
I'm looking to get a new phone next year. What version of a Samsung Galaxy phone do you recommend? Please let me know
did you know that when small ppl wave it's called a micro-wave? 🥁
Here’s a tip for children, if you’re getting drunk, don’t put your phone in the microwave LOL
3:56 Me who thought it world have charged in the microwave 😂
I got a 12 Pro Max you could title "Apple Turned Baseball" lol its definitely repairable but was smacked with a baseball bat
😂Bro found a way to send his phone to prg
The chest sound 10/10😂
lol…NEVER thought this would happen.
hello i have a first generation iPad do you think you can do a screen replacement
Interposer is also known as "Sandwich Splitting" Since the Motherboard is made up of 2 layers, those error codes essential means that the board is in the process of splitting apart. Device could work short term, but it will not work long term. "NAND" is however the storage memory chip on an IPhone. TLDR: Phone is dying slowly and data needs to be backed up ASAP, since it can die in either 2 mins, 4 hours, 2 months, a year even. You can't say for sure.
Where do i go to ask him to help fix my device??
guy thinks he would make an Apple pie what a legend
6:05 he moved the camera... but the recording angle never moved? How? Is there another separate camera?
I got drunk and microwaved my new iPhone 15pro Max. Then someone woke me up.
it's the front sensor u need to transfer it from the old screen and conect to the mother board 😢 it happened to me once
how much will be to fix a google pixel 6 and a pixel 6a screen on both both went inside water and screen stoped working
