Hi, ex-samsung engineer here - when heating the device, place it on its front rather than the back.

The reason for this is that the heat is not being applied directly to the battery or NFC/wireless charging coil, and removing the back glass is a lot easier.

The heat will also evenly distribute throughout the body, and will allow you to remove the back glass.

The spudger. The most important tool in existence.

I'm really impressed how such a powerful smartphone has such small pieces like the motherboard.

Apple: unable to verify whether the battery is genuine. Camera failed to load.

old owner: give me back my phone! here’s your $700..

No need a hot air station. Just put a macbook on it and it will certainly fry the back panel of the phone off.

Being a Phone technician and having my first Samsung repair the other day outside of practice devices I was pleasantly surprised with how serviceable it was. Screen replacement on a Samsung A20 which requires parts to be moved to another device would have liked pull tabs of some sort on the battery but lots of heat solves that. All for Right to Repair as many devices can stay out of the landfill with a bit of TLC and a small amount of money on parts of eBay.

Also, thanks for the inspiration from your channel. During the Pandemic I began my own local Mobile Device Repair Business which has been a profound success in my local community repairing iPhones and Samsung's alike. Currently working on an iPhone 7 Screen Replacement, found that investment in tools such as the iFixit ones have worked a treat unlike cheap tools, found out the hard way on my own old iPhone SE. Keep doing what you are doing!

Is it just me who is angry of the smartphones being held together by glue instead of screws? You're likely to shatter panels instead of removing them.

1:41 so no-one's going to mention how cleanly the glue peeled off?

[mrdeez]

You’ve inspired me to start doing this stuff myself, I ordered a lot of stuff to repair my old phones and my old iPad! I thank you very much!

Fun fact phone adhesive is used to glue bricks together it’s just disguised as concrete

Always has been, and always will be my favorite YouTube Channel. Been here since 15, 000, will be here past 1, 000, 000.

I just bought an iPhone XR for $375 AUD, it’s got cracks, but it’s an easy fix. What a bargain!

[iaraa]

lol for 700 i could almost buy a brand new note 10+ in germany
Edit: never mind I just realised that an australian $ = 0.6€

Tip: (I work on a Samsung Autorized Service Center) you can preheat it on that base between 10 a 30 minutes.
