Selling genuine replacement parts to consumers… Apple are shaking
Yep 😂
Apple *is shaking
@@Imnahha Apple* are
Oh yeah, they're crumbling 😎
I mean, Samsung doesn’t sell oem part either
TIP: When dealing with shattered glass screens/back, it's best to use a few good lengths of tape (or a sheet of adhesive/cheapo screen protector) over the damaged bits (or just the over the entire surface area period) to contain as much bits as possible and provide a small level of safety in not getting cut.
Yeah hugh already knows this
It can also get better suction if you use a suction cup to open it
@@esmmm990 It's hard to tell because he forgets it a lot.
@Taemon Plays If he knows it he really needs to actually follow it. :/ He forgets way too much.
Politics...boring.
Old Netflix shows....boring
A new Hugh Jeffrey's repair video...Yes!
Yesss, I don't watch tv anymore just tech TH-camrs 😂

I was about to sleep but, this seems more important lol
same lolll
Same here

you're not alone 🤣🤣
Same lol its 1:12 am
2:38 The board is clipped into the housing. You need to find the spots where the clips are and lift the board up there. The clips are just mezal pieces, but you cant bend them as usual. You need to lift the board up with a bit of force on those spots to get it out.
Nooo, did the internet make you switch from lacker bands to rubber bands? Coming from QLD we always said rubber bands but I’ve always been fascinated by Vic people calling them lacker bands. Love your vids Hugh!
Grow up
@@sarcasticmcspastic no one asked for him to comment either

I smell an argument brewing in this reply section.
I thought he was from S. Australia?
You can actually remove the glass of that display and save that LCD.Then buy the digitizer glass and fuze it back with UV Glue. Also using tape on the glass before taking out the Broken LCD asseembly will help you get it out in one piece.
Yeah but it's a long and delicate process and I don't think it's worth it for a mid range phone
I think hugh just wanted a quick fix rather than saving the original parts
Never seen Hugh do glass only screen repair
@@CrayCrayslab It's not it will only add about 10 - 20 minutes or so. I used to do this everyday.
Its quite hard?
Its a great thing to know that companies support right to repair!
This is why plastic back is superior instead of glass back. Sure, the environmental impact and the "non-premium" feeling on flagships is a real issue, but I would trade off a premium feeling flagship while having a durable one 😎 I have dropped my phone a couple times and thanks to a plastic back and a case, my phone is completely fine.
I'd wager that plastic backing is probably better environmentally that glass, considering how often glass breaks and that its manufacturing also contributes to emissions.
I’m a fan of taping the screen before removal, but after heating, esp if it’s shattered.. using packing tape and/or kapton tape
I have a 3 year old phone, but I'm not inclined to buy any new phone because of the wierd phone aspect ratios. Watching these kinds of repair gives me some hope that I can keep my current phone longer!
You got that right. I'm still using my LG V20 since 2017. I can't stand all these 20:9 / 21:9 phones. Too damn tall and skinny. I call them stick phones. Videos and games don't even fit on the screen properly and text on web pages is smaller. I don't get this lame stick phone craze.
I had one of these exact ones and this for one is already an INCREDIBLY hard phone to break, love the videos Hugh 👌🤟
Hey Hugh, you can also tape the shattered glass with clear tape to prevent cuts and glass falling out. I also removed a phone's shattered LCD by taping the glass and using a suction cup to remove it.
good idea mate
One tip, when you are glueing LCD, put the glue on the frame, and then put LCD into the frame, glue that won't be needed will come out the frame and after it cures you can just peel it with your fingers. Good video anyway 5/5
My wife and kids had the G7 and G8 plus models. I've done a few screen replacements myself. The biggest annoyance is the ribbon cable going under the chassis meaning you have to remove the battery and back panel to swap the screen out. Other than that it's a fairly easy repair.
First phone I repaired was a moto g3 turbo, motorola made it real hard back then ,I had to replace 2 batteries just within 6 months. As a 14 yr old it was heck of a great experience for me ,I wish I could've seen your videos then .
i love the Motorola phone repairs, i don't know why i guess i just love Motorola phones!
I'm very happy that you're using the liquid adhesive properly this time
Man, I remember back when the fingerprint scanners were on the back
Reminds me of my Nexus 6P days
Damn bro chill. Mine still is and I bought it last year.
@@f.miller801 cool bro
@@f.miller801 I was talking about samsung
Still are if you buy a cheap one
haha I like the Motorola response to Hugh, "GOOD DAY!"
A clean fix as always 👌🏻 great work jeff 👍🏻
This almost looks like a repair job I could do myself, big kudos to Motorola
Motorola is pretty good,
Fairly cheap, Decently powerful, A little tougher than expected, And repairable!
As the display was working you could have just replaced the top glass. This is a common thing in our country but you would need some machines to perform that task. BTW love your work bro!
Hey Hugh Jeffreys I really love watching your videos they are very interesting and enjoyable I like it when you fix up all of the phones.
I'm watching this on my moto g5, rooted, lineage os 17 installed, still works perfectly
Always love watching these videos my favorite video
Nice video 👍 glad to see smartphone company is still supporting right to repair , and also i watched it through my recently repaired samsung note 3, keep it up
I love that your vids are so thorough : ) x
Very nice, great job Hugh:)
Excellent work! God bless!
Another great repair by Hugh Jeffreys.
i've been waiting for new hugh jeffreys video
Good morning Hugh once again you have made a great video thank you so much 😊
I remember my Moto G6 randomly one day developed a crack across the camera module out of the blue. The phone was never dropped or tossed on a hard surface. While trading it in for a new phone I lost money for the crack. There's something wrong with those glasses that Lenovo uses.
I have g8 power this repair made me happy since you are my fav tech repair youtube
I was worried that liquid adhesive you used on the sides was going to seep into the LCD backlight and damage it. Was it E8000?
Great video brother
i dont understand that why people dislike these guys videos
Hey Hugh, one thing I learned from other repair channels is, whether using tape or factory adhesive if you warm it up after it provides a better seal. I have tried this and it works. Keep up the good work my friend.
Your videos are so good man!
Great gob "hugh jeffreys" channel you helped people to learn and do something good....by you experience...keep going I wish you all the best for you future....
Good, another Android fixed. Good job, Hugh. I love what you do.
Nice job Hugh
Another great video! 👏👏👏 what is the liquid glue that you use when opening up phones ?
It’s 3 minutes in to Sunday in the uk so will be watching tomorrow
Great video as always, I too used to have a moto G8 plus!
I would be kind of interested in hearing your take on water resistance/ proofness vs ease of opening the device...
I mean, surely not everyone is a diver who wants to be able to hold their camera or whole phone underwater?
Hi Hugh. Love your videos and your patience with those pesky glued modern phones. I have a couple of questions: are you based in Syd or Melbs? I have an iPad Air which needs a new home button which cracked (no fingerprint sensor) and new batteries. Can you recommend someone in Melb CBD or SE suburbs who can do the repair for a budget price and is reliable? Cheers.
Have you ever considered getting a vinyl cutting machine and sourcing the tape in sheet so you can easily cut the tape into various widths to suit your needs or possibly making your own templates?
Good work mate
denatured (ethyl) alcohol is better than isopropyl. Great videos!
Hey Hugh, when you use that glue, does some squish out when you put the screen on, and if so what do?
Hi Hugh...what brand/name adhesive tape do you use?
I like to commend you on doing your part in fighting planned obsolescence and shedding light on questionable corporate product design, as i just saw you on a recent Louis Rossman vid, what i do like to add to the conversation is that Planned Obsolescence is only one part of the problem, as "Perceived Obsolescence" something created by corporations nurturing consumer habits is even more problematic: since "image" is such an important factor in purchasing a new phone or tech product, people are now willing to buy a new 1000+$ phone with incremental unnecessary upgrades, and try to justify their purchase by citing said unnecessary upgrades all for the sake of having the attention of the room for 5 mins. This is actually where we're at, and if this isn't fixed, then there is no point in products being durable for 1000 years if the consumer replaces them after 1 year. Which brings me to my next point: Why don't you try to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy Fieldpro, or a Motorola LEX device, and demonstrate what the Industry is actually capable of, but refuses to serve us for their own profits?
good job can't wait to see you do teardown iPhone 13
Love your content
What is the adhesive tape you use?
Denatured alcohol (ethyl/methyl) works better than ispopropyl. Glad to hear that Motorola uses a "more reasonable" adhesive for the back. I like these phones 'cause they still have an FM Tuner. Have any in the repair community considered *polycarbonate* for screen replacements? I know it's not as "nice" as glass, but it's sure a lot more durable!
You are a talented man
Talented dude
How mm thick is the adhesive tape that you are using for the back plate ?
I was gonna sleep, but stayed up to watch this lol
I work in the US and swear I've seen a few of them. I generally just buy a refurb panel. I have a reliable supplier and that way I get a genuine OEM display with some fresh glass.
King of restoration
What brand of liquid glue you use Jeff ?
Whoop love ya vids mate 🤘🏼
Finally a phone that I repaired before Hugh!
Nice job 👌
It's always posted at midnight in the uk
Cleaning around the perimeter of the frame of the phone is key
Hugh! I know you’ve done a similar video in the past, with negative results, however I’m wondering whether an iPhone X battery would work properly inside a Xs, due to the larger capacity. I’ve searched online but see a lot of conflicting results. I hope you see this and consider it, thanks in advance!
This is surprisingly similar to a Huawei Honor 10 lite I repaird a few weeks ago.
What is the glue you used Jeffrey? 🤔
Hello guys welcome to another huge Jefreys video
What the glue you use ??? And name of double side tape please
My phone is Motorola G9 play, bought in this summer and it came with a phone case.
A little bad for not including some screen protector and cameras with the phone case, which shipped from factory to my country
That looks like a very repair-friendly phone. Only one screw bit and the same length? Not bad.
The reason why they didn't sell you the replacement screen is dependent on IMEI. Different regions have different certifications to qualify. Even the quality also varies from region to region. Nevertheless, they should not discriminate based on the region since it's just replacement part.
Thank you
What's the name of the adhesive tape he uses in the videos?
Please do more Motorola phones repairs
Motorola makes great phones, if you want a cheap and well bilted phone Motorola is you only choice 👍👍👍
What was the glue you used?
what kind of tape you're using?
May I be so bold to ask that the glue in the tube is that you are applying on the battery when replacing around the edges of the new LCD display and rear cover is what type of glue? Where can I purchase some some, Amazon? Thanks in advance!
Thanks 👍 bro
You have inspired me to repair old tech I bought a unibody MacBook Pro for 100$ and I will double the ram and put an ssd in
👍👍
how much did the display panel cost?
yes i just woke up , lol im from philippines love your videos 😍🤍
I recently uploaded a video repairing an LG phone. Since they all are discontinued now the price for an OEM screen are crazy high. So i went and bought an entire new but blacklisted phone and took its screen. 100% OEM and wayyy cheaper.
Better off doing it that way, finding a second broken phone as a back up for harvesting parts if you've gotten an LG phone you liked.
@@xEqualsRandom Blacklisted phones are usually banned from a carrier. Like if you had a contract with T-Mobile and then didn't pay the bills, they blacklist the unit so no simcard will ever work in it unless you pay the bills.
@@droid1appmkr The way i do it is a great way because then im left with another phone that i can still resell for parts and make profit. Buying an after market screen is literally the last option. Those screens are the worst. Hugh still young and he is great, but still very naïve to be honest.
Are you going to test the repairability of iphone 13 line up .
Hey Jeffrey do you think a 2005 MacBook that is for 200 cheap its not broken ya and it’s close to my birthday
Man I would love to have this phone
7:10 why flatten out the battery creases?
I would worry more about adding micro holes while flattening it.
How does the replacement screen quality compare to the original?
Display replacementes for the G Series on Motorola aren't the greatest to be honest (or maybe we got a faulty one perhaps?). Me and the missus got 2 G8 Plus for an affordable price, hers got dropped A LOT but ultimately the last drop shattered the screen for good. A year after this incident drop it again and display got scratched in a section but nevertheless ok. These are rough phones, get a good screen display protector and a great case that helps with falls and drops. Even now (just barely getting the 4Gb RAM and the 64Gb Storage) holds quite good, camera is amazing for the price.
And yes, 2 major updates a year and that's it, but if you search for an affordable and great value phone, Motorola is yer pick.
My brother has this phone and it's great, unfortunately Motorola is known for slow software updates
Yeah or their phones are excellent
Glass only repair or change the whole set ( lcd+ glass)?
Always better to change the whole set
There are some repair shops that can do a glass only repair if the LCD is fine but that often leads to the touchscreen malfunctioning once you reattach the LCD panel
Just a thought, nothing serious but what about using something like floss to cut the adhesive on the screen 🤔. Maybe it’ll be able to help the screen come off without cracking the glass more. Of course you need to get a pic in their somehow so i don’t know if it’ll even be worth it AND watch out for the cable
What is the point of battery adhesive anyway? It is not like the battery will bang around inside such a confined space? I replaced the battery on my iPhone 6s Plus over a year ago without applying new thermal adhesive strips and have not had any issues. I have good battery life and no sound of the battery jiggling around inside when shaken.
especially on Samsung phones, where they use some of the strongest adhesive to keep their batteries in place. I usually use the rest of the glue (which is about 5% of the original adhesion) and it never rattles or disconnects or anything. Over 200 Samsung phones repaired, not one customer ever complained. Goes to show that it is completely unnecessary to use such strong adhesive on batteries and is probably done to fight repairs, since most consumers would give up on this task (and bring it to Samsung probably).
yea. I didn't bother with adhesive when replacing the battery on my Zforce
