the only thing you can fix in nokias, is to charge it from 99% after 2 months to 100% so you dont need to charge it ever again. Everything else is impossible to be broken
@@dr.pewpew2619 Considering he does this for a living he probably has somewhere he gets the screens for cheap, like any business going to a supplier to buy in bulk. I doubt they have to pay the same price as the general public, but I could be wrong and labour wise this probably didn’t take him that long with his experience.
I did my first logic board swap on a 6s and I just wanted to say seeing you do repairs so easily gave me enough courage to try something harder and it went perfectly
A good set of tools to start with is the iFixit pro tech toolkit. Has pretty much everything in it that you’ll need for most repairs. I use it myself for my business (doing same work like our friend in the video) and I have like maybe a few extra tools that most households have.
Can someone please take a moment to respect this man for wasting a hundred dollars for a broken phone he will never use again just for short video for random people out there to enjoy?
PLEASE teach how you negotiate with sellers to get a price you can work with! I’m starting out in the phone repair and buy/sell business and I’ve had sellers tell me I’m crazy or scoff at my offer even though it was the fair price for a phone I’ll have to repair. EDIT: I’m still able to get some (not so satisfying) deals but I’m having a hard time and buying profitable phones way less often than I probably could.
Mention everything that’s wrong with the phone and try to make it sound like there’s a lot of work that goes into it try to make it sound like you’re taking a risk buying it but make your offer and say I could only take the risk at this price. But let me tell you I will pay cash and take it off of your hands right now and you won’t have to deal with the phone calls or people any more it will be done and over with. I don’t know I always say some shit like that and 99% of the time I get a deal. If you can’t get the deal walk away because there’s so much more available it’s not worth taking the risk if you’re not comfortable with a price. I learned that lesson the hard way. Don’t work for free don’t waste your time just to stay busy. It’s hard for people that like to stay busy I know because I am one but you constantly have to be contemplating what are you can do to make improvements what you can do to make more money constantly whether it’s getting materials directly from the manufacturer or a better supplier or being more efficient with your time whatever it is but you have to constantly try to improve. Don’t stay content everThat’s for retirement
My brother also has a black iPhone 8 that’s just cracks, no phone. I’m being serious when I say that, because a third of the screen is blacked out from dead pixels but you can’t see the part that does work because of the amount of cracks
I got an iPhone 12 Mini for $265 off eBay and surprisingly the battery wasn't really cooked at all and there were no scuffs or cracks, I ended up using it for an entire month to see how I liked it but it wasn't for me.
Advertise it for 300$ then let people talk it down too 250$ or 200$ so people think they're getting a deal and maybe if you have multiple in stock you can profit around 100$ minimum and 150$ maximum per iPhone 8. Edit: have a good day
in Pakistan they don't change the whole screen they remove the touch glass of screen and install new touch glass and phone is fine this normally cost around 1-2 dollars maximum 3 dollars
You bought it for $100 - How much for replacement screen - Distance travelled by car (Petrol) Selling it for $200, depending on how much you spent overall, your time you've spent on the phone. Maybe not worth it but depends on how much you made
I bought an iPhone 8 about one year ago for $70. It was completely smashed. Made a housing swap, new display, new battery. Like new. Gave it to my sister 😅
Where I am, you can get an 8 for 100$ in perfect condition. An SE2 for 140$ usually and the SE3 for 150-200$, still in perfect condition. So if you’re asking me, it wasn’t really worth it the 100$ for the cracked screen. But since your prices are a little bit different and you can get the screen replacement for around a couple bucks, I guess it’s worth it. But that iPhone is also going to go down on support this year, so I wouldn’t bother buying an 8 anymore.
When you start taking mail-ins again, i got a galaxy s10 that my screen is going bad on. Yesterday half was black when i dropped it, today was just fine aside from the glass broke. Easy fix for ya
One year later and prices dropped so low I got mine with a pristine condition screen but with a cracked back for 60us. Still recieving updates tho, so cheapest iPhone worth to buy!
Honestly with the gas you used to go get it no you only made like 60+ which still is not a good W/L ratio but is positive so if you could sell higher than 200 with buyer paying for shipping then possibly it’d be worth it
Got my 256gb for 70$ USD. swapped a new housing into it for free since the housing was a gift, new screen but broke the screen when taking it off to install the housing. I didn’t tape the battery down and I’m sure that’s why I started having restart issues and so on.
I have a phone that need’s a repair it’s an iPhone 4 it was my moms and she broke the screen and back glass I want to give it to her as a gift for Mother’s Day so she could remember all of the good moments in that phone, do you take any phones? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Do you use mint mobile? I just got an iPhone 8 refurbished and it is black. It also has a small scratch on the screen at the top right. Is this the one you fixed
If the person you bought it from sees this, they'll be pissed.... But, seriously, how do people NEVER clean their phones?! I take mine out if the case every night & disinfect it....I get sooooo grossed out when I see dirty phones....
It's worth it since you have all the equipment necessary to do it.....but if someone bought the phone, and had no equipment to rebuild it, then it won't be worth it.
I really want to do this, but I work for a repair place with a noncompete clause in my contract. It was really fun doing this type of thing before I started working for them, but the money wasn’t really that easy
The classic question: what came first: Josh connects or Phone repair guru. Edit: I looked up both their first videos and phone repair guru made his only a few months before Josh made his.
How much time for the repair? How much was the replacement screen and parts? You had travel/travel expenses, time to locate and negotiate price, repair materials, labor for repair, time/labor to sell it...just seems like a lot of inputs for the gross $100 difference. Is there actually even a profit there?
100 U$D with a broken screen, it could be ok for you cause maybe you pay the replacement screen less because the quantity you order, but for me it's a bit too much.
Mind if I ask, what are you "reprogramming" when replacing the screen? I guess I'm missing something. Does the screen have some PCB with the embedded code to lock it to a particular device? I'm confused.
Is a unlocked iPhone 11 Pro Max with a slight crack on the screen and I mean a real slight crack is $240 a good price I found one I’m thinking about buying the price is tempting too
Q: Was it worth it? A: ...Depends on what that screen cost and the condition of the Otterbox after cleaning it. * I don't think it's worth it considering your time and all of the cost.* (Including shipping and gas)
i have an iPhone 8 space grey in perfect condition the only thing wrong with it is that it has an activation lock on it from previous owner icloud of which i can not get a hold of. let me know if anyone wants to buy!!

Naw $160. Just don’t let them talk you down to $100 too lol.

goes black so can u fix it
If the screen and the phone cost you under 200, it's definetly worth it
Expert tip- Always remove your cover before charging as the battery heats up and if you keep on the cover heat won't dissipate
Nice repair. But the crunches were disappointing lol.
Where did you got all the stuff to fix the phone
Definitely worth it... The views of this video alone will get ur money back + more.
