Video

Worked for me; thank you!

Thank you! 2018 X2, was changing the bulb and nothing, found your video and now fixed :)

Thank you for this video! I was able to fix mines by following this video!

Mil gracias. Me falló el del lado derecho y fui a la BMW a cambiarlo, claro, 300 euros del faro + mano de obra. Que me habría ahorrado de haber visto antes tu vídeo . Después me falló el izquierdo, pero esta vez, pude reparlo yo mismo. Gracias por compartir el vídeo 👍👍👍

You are a crack! My husband has done it on my car and it has worked! I've saved 1,300 euros. Thank you so much!!!

OMG!!! This worked for me just now (2019 X2). My battery died yesterday and the right rear taillight failed exactly the way it happened to someone a few comments below! I replaced the battery today and my mechanic said I needed a new taillight ($300!!). I told him I'll shop around for the part. I came across this fix and rushed right back to him and the light is working just fine! Thank you so much!! I think there is a sinister plot to connect battery failure to send a charge to melt that little piece of plastic!! It was woking fine all day yesterday before the battery went dead. It was melted just like in your video! >:0/ I will file a recall request as well!!

I’ve been in contact with BMW national customer service over this exact issue! Both of my rear taillights have done this. Quotes from BMW service were $1000 each. And since BMW didn't rectify the problem, or even seem to acknowledge it being an issue (side note: the local BMW parts department person told me that he has seen this in other X2s), I went ahead and filled a recall request to the NHTSA. I urge others to file a direct petition as well.

Thank you!!!!!!’

Fantastic fix! Almost took it in. Thanks so much-saved me a couple hundred for a five minute job.

Thank you so much! You are a God send. After we found your video, it took my husnand two minutes to fix it!

Thanks! I used this to fix the exact same problem. I had to melt a little solder on the connector to raise it up a bit so the bulb would contact it, but it's working now. I appreciate it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! I just happened to replace my battery the same day the right turn signal stopped working and the front right just flashed quickly. checked all fuses, bulb was good etc. WATCHED YOUR video and sure as sh!t I looked at that little plastic tab that was slightly overhanging and filed it down a bit, ran a little sandpaper over it, WHAALAAAHHHH ITS WORKING. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2018 x2 was doin the same thing. Change the bulb..nothing. Found your video and tried it. Now it's working! Thanks so much!

Your video saved me time to bring to a repair shop and at least $100....you are a caring human being in a world of chaos and hate. Have a great life.

Needle nose pliers

thats not a air 2… in air 2 the battery clip is right next to the screen connectors

you only have to remove the battery clip holder screw once inside..u fold up the screen…fold up the battery on 90deg angle…then once screw out..put a leaver in under the clip..then put new battery in and put together thecway u took it apart

Way too quick and not enough details

bro...if your video title is "replace the battery without removing the mother board" you show NOTHING! NOTHING about that. don't cut the most important part of the video. you cut it both times taking out and put it in.

What happened if the battery is not properly insulated?

Thx for the vid.. fk though, the door panel has to come off :(

Thank you Sir. I was able to fix the retractable feature on my kenmore canister vacuum machine. By removing the screws on the retractable section (after disconnecting the wires) I was able to rewind the section enough to assure enough tension on the spring then I positioned it back in place and tightened the screw back; connected the wires back and put the section back in place. Now even if there’s a foot out it will get retracted. I was stuck until I saw your video. Thank you again for taking the time to record the video and post it.

Worse video ever

This is a helpful video. Instead of prying off the plastic clips or melt them, another way is to use a drill and remove the top pieces that way.

You forgot the part where you’re suppose to take the brake fluid cap off

Thanks for your video, followed yours today to change the door handle on my car …

Thank you

I removed screen and LCD to stop damage to cables..., scraped battery out one section at a time with nail file,screwdriver..NO HEAT..unscrewed logic board screws, lifted board enough to pull battery over lug...very easy...

***Caution*** removing the logic board and other components helps to prevent damage to them when applying heat to the back of the case to melt the glue on the battery making it quicker and easier to remove. Short cuts are sometimes good and sometimes not, so personally a few more minutes taken to protect possible damage to your expensive investment has got to be worth the time. So here's the thing.... He takes longer to separate the battery from the case then to remove all components and apply a slow gentle heat facilitating an easier battery removal. I really appreciate the effort... but there just isn't a justification to risk the potential component damage to save a few more minutes of time.

nice one. i will try this one on my ipad air, thanks

When I take out the screw my connector is really tight

You skipped the important part -.-

Thanks for showing me how to open the canister. BUT the cord still does not return. I used the WD 40 as you suggested. The cord has to be re wrapped in order for the mechanism to retract the cord.

You skipped over the hardest bit, reconnecting the battery,

how did you get the battery out with the Circle on battery connector part. You skipped it because you BROKE it. PHONY VIDEO

Just a tip...WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE SCREEN OR DIGITISER, because you’ll end up leaving fingerprints all over the inside of the screen and they look awful.

The part was bought on ebay... something similar to the link www.ebay.com/itm/Inner-Door-Panel-Handle-Outer-Pull-Trim-Cover-For-BMW-E90-328i-Right-Side/254391636285?fits=Model%3A328i%7CMake%3ABMW&hash=item3b3aec513d:m:mEGUJaLlR0mfFW4oiOELs0A

Low volume.

Why do they never post info about the part and where they bought it??

I changed the battery but now the ipad does not power up anymore. I do believe the screwdrive I used touched the motherboard while old battery was in and made a spark. Do you think the motherboard is dead now? Any way of testing? Battery I got is a second hand spare one. I’m just wandering if maybe the second battery is dead too.

Can you add the name or link of the part you purchased please?

can you post the link to purchase the door handle? thanks!

I wish I didn't see this video, after putting in a new battery, and it constantly rebooted every few minutes, I bought another battery and it did the same, after more research, it looks like the little prying I did to get the old one out, must have damaged something

For those of you who think this is a good video, you must know your way around iPads. I wanted to see if he had a different method of taking off the front, and that wasn't shown. He held his phone long ways at the beginning of the video, and you saw only half the screen. I couldn't figure out what he was doing, so I didn't watch the entire video.

I've fixed loads of these sorts of things and honestly, chuck it in the bin and get a secondhand one. More fool me for buying it new (I paid using old Bitcoin, so I didn't really pay, but..) - two months after warranty, Apple, in polite language, of course, "FUCK OFF!" It had just stopped charging for no reason and the battery was fine. I knew it was stupid to buy an Apple device and now my fears are confirmed. Yes, they are as easily as shitty as Louis Rossman says - maybe more. People who still pay out money that they can't afford for Apple stuff need to get their heads examined. And once you get in, look at what is in there - you are paying $$$ for shit. Stay away, Apple will either learn, or more deservedly, go down. BTW, I was just seeing how to get it out to sell it.

Awesome bro!

Nice video bro. What model iPad is that? Thanks.

Great video on how to bypass taking out the board unnecessarily. This definitely saves time. Thumbs up!

is this iPad Air 1?

Your a fuckin idiot bending the board like that
