People toss the most asinine things in the bin, ive saved whole laptops to cellphones and tablets to parts stripped from office PCs from being ewaste trash and have even personally resold ewasted tech as a side hustle myself.

    5:35 for glue T-7000, B-7000, E-7000 hold the display correctly you have to apply it on both sides, display and case, wait around 3 minutes for the glue to dry a little and then join the display with the frame, only like this glue secures the display, glue on one side and immediately gluing the display the glue is still liquid and does not work properly.

    Hey Hugh! B7000 isn't a normal adhesive. You have to put adhesive on both surfaces (screen and frame) and wait from 5 to 10 minutes before placing the screen back on the frame. This type of adhesive is called contact adhesive. I really recommend. it's a good, and cheap adhesive when you don't have the precut ones. Only note, if the adhesive has a greenish tint, don't use it!

  • @taylor4853
    @taylor4853 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You have to wait for the dissolvant present in the glue to evaporate before trying to glue the display in place, 5 minutes should be enough
    Shoving the screen as soon as the glue is applied prevents it from curing properly and the display or any other thing you're gluing will come loose
    Also you should apply it on the phone body and screen so it sticks even stronger

    It's really good to watch your videos.

I replaced the motherboard with a new one, transferring the CPU from the old motherboard to the new, but I guess that the CPU has been fried and it's gone.

    It's funny how we go in bins trying to save some phones and the employees of the store stop us from doing it yet we're actually recycling the phones by repairing them, isn't that the reason why they were in the bin in the first place? So they can be "reused" which is what Hugh Jefferys does with almost every phone he gets. A target employee said they donate the devices, but who do they donate them to? Who's gonna use a phone with a dead screen? Lmao

    This liquid adhesive works not that way.
    You should apply it to the frame, then wait for 5-10 minutes for it to dry and after that press the display into it. When the frame and display are collapsed, you should compress it using some rubber bands or clippers and wait for 3-12 hours.
    In Russian repair services we're using this glue all the time. If you follow the instructions, glue works perfectly, just like factory adhesive)

    Let me give you an advice, if you apply the E8000 or B7000 kind of glues, just wait for 5-10 minutes to allow the material become more sticky. Its use is like that. Just wait for 5-10 and than put the screen on it. It will be more efficient, you'll see.

    The E7000 and B7000 are actually rather old glue groups. TipTop is the most well known glue of this group.
    What you need to know about them is that these need at least 12hrs to set and 24 to 48 for complete cure.
    These are acetone-base, so not that toxic actually.

    Instead of heavy box, next time purchase and use clamps or use tape around it? In my previous job we used small clamps with light clamp pressure. We use usually 6-8 clamps per phone while adhesive is drying. Clamping-time is around 2-4 hours per phone to be firm enough to be given back to the customer.

  • @wilyamiyooo
    @wilyamiyooo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should consider buying clamps for when repairing displays and needs to be seated for a while to dry. I think it just needs constant pressure for the glue to stick. Cheers!
