- In this video we fix quite damaged Motorola Droid Turbo (XT1254) smartphone. There is no power based on initial inspection, and further investigation points to malfunctioning GPS and internal microphone. It will need quite a bit of work. Can we fix it? This is device #10 in our "eBay38" project where all devices did cost about $1 on average.
In the current project codenamed "eBay38", we bought 38 electronic devices from eBay for a grand total of $40. Let's see what we've got, and if there is any value here. Stay tuned!
