That's why I love this channel! Just straight up practical do it yourself repair! Learning something new every time I watch. His thinking outside the box at times is just on the spot!
Vince, you are a brave man to start attacking a phone that cost you almost £300 with no prior info or help. Hats off that you got into it with virtually no damage. Well done. Love all your videos.
Lol! Da boys will be like: "so where's the ride...?" Vince takes out Lamborghini phone and enters UBER app. "There's the ride..." P.S. awesome fix btw, love when sometimes it's something SO simple
As sadly a enforced retired electrician, I love to hear someone else insists on having a vertical screw finish, something drummed into me as an apprentice. I believe your background is telecoms Vince I'm sure your cabinets were immaculate.
It really melted my heart hearing you say “my son will love this”. Reminded me of my dad fixing up old toys in our garden shed for me when I was a kid.
That's quite a common issue on old samsung S series phones. I've fixed a lot of those using the same method but using the discarded part of a nylon cable tie
Reminded me a bit of higher end LG builds. Was surprised to hear that wasn't the case. Jeremy Clarkson would have probably called that power button design "ambitious, but rubbish". 🤣 Wonderful repair as always.
@@89ludeawakening1 thanks I had to look up the spec comparison after watching. ZTE isn't as well known in the States as it is in the UK or even Europe for that matter. Least from what I've gathered having lived in all three regions.
Really enjoyed this one Vince. The process of getting it open had my fingers clenching and seeing the phone come on after your repair was so satisfying. Congrats m8! Now I'm craving to do some phone repairs myself
well done , this problem also exist on Samsung S5 and S4 models , and a bit of cardboard brings it back to life ..nice work really , Your son is the boss with this phone ,
Buy the other two fix 'em and sell em and pay the cost of the whole lot and the one you kept with the resale profits. Nice fix. Totally agree with your point about working on phones they are a chinese puzzle usually, especially this one seeing as it was made in China. You are totally right about the collectability and future rarity of these. Well done...
This is actually my favourite kind of fix. My technical ability is far surpassed by my inability to take defeat well! Good perseverance getting the back off!
The guy who owned this originally may well have just gone out and got another one.This was so enjoyable. Perseverance , patience and intelligence is what you have in bucket loads. Well done!
What a feel good video! everyone is happy because Vince is a bulldog of 'Depistage' and gives a ton of thought. vegetable oil fryer containers cut into strips is also a nice shim for the low end output of garden equipment. Vince never gives up!
Vince, each time you take a chance you seem to find a way. Where others might give up you persevere and much smarter then you give yourself credit for! Keep up the repairs and keep delighting us with the videos capturing your adventures.
Vince,you are way smarter then you give yourself credit for ! i love people like you,the ability to fix things is such a good trait,keep doing what you do,i wish more people were like this ☹
I find your videos incredibly reassuring. The variety of products and the fun is first rate. Fantastic work Vince. Greetings from Czechia, country located in central Europe.
As a mechanical fitter. Back in my youth, if we scratched the blacking off of anything, we used to give the area a quick dab with a permanent marker. It covers up the marks well and would take your eye off any damage on the screws you tried to undo 👍.
What a result vince, great fix. That startup screen is brilliant, my favourite bit of the phone. That phone really is something special. Great fix and video👍
@24:50 always my favorite bit! Is my hunch correct? No? GACK! ok what's weird.. ah.. its worn. This is something that happens to me on the job daily. Love it.
I was gonna say this! I had that phone and replaced parts on the inside several times and it's so funny how they essentially rebranded a phone known for being inexpensive (although very good for the time)
Mate that is not a bodge job. It’s better than from the factory. Great ingenuity from you. Great job and great video as usual. You have come a long way since you first started out. Proud of ya man.
Wow what a perfect fix, really love how you fix things without any experiance with this device, the way you analyse and proceed.. just amazing to watch. well done Vince
The sheer guts to attempt a repair on such an expensive, exquisite phone is to be commended nevermind you only went and cracked it. Great video as always.
It's mostly those small things that damage more expensive items (mainly pecause of penny pinching during the design period). Back when the PS4 came out the trigger buttons on the (back then quite expensive) PS4 controllers wore out because Sony decided to save a fraction of a cent on each by removing some silicone. You could get one relatively cheap on ebay, they were fixable with a dot of silicone (the stuff used to seal gaps in bathrooms).
Excellent video!!! Love the jerry rigging hahaha Again, an amazing way to showcase how unfortunate it is to throw away big ticket items cause of something as simple as a worn piece of plastic that literally just pushes a button hahaha. Love it!
What a great fix this was who would have guessed it would be this simple and easy to fix? It's a nice phone as well i hope your son enjoys it and another successful fix from Vince that's a thumbs up from me.
I loved that you could see your signs smile in the reflection, I don't have kids, but shit like this makes me want em just for those amazing moments. Great dadding man!
Wow, no surprise that the big ol' wobbly power knob with a little bumper under it failed (and must be common if the seller had two others). Nice job breaking into it with no reference anyway!
That is without a doubt a Reskin of the ZTE Axon 7 which was an awesome budget flagship killer. Was a huge fan of that phone as it was so cheap and was fast as a Galaxy S7 which was THE android phone at the time. Really popular for the developers, budget phones and had very decent overall specs, for me the phone's Lamborghini theming is a bit intense but it's honestly still an Axon7 sort of kills the point of the original model tho being sold for thousands on release. Awesome display, Awesome speakers processor is a bit dated for now but it's honestly still a iconic device for any android enthusiast If you are curios with the software you might be able to see if anything from the XDA forum is compatible as I am sure it's just an Axon7 with a built in theme. But it's good to see you fixed on up, great job as always mate.
Oh man. talk about a potential return on investment if you want to sell it down the line. Beyond the potential monetary value, this is a prime example of how much we might avoid throwing away or wasting if we had just some basic troubleshooting and tinkering skills. Who knows how many electronic devices have been thrown away, assumed "dead", when in fact all they needed was a tiny sliver of plastic in the right place, or a replaced bit of foam or rubber. :) Love your vids. Thanks for sharing these experiences with us.
Well done on fixing this. Love watching all your videos weather its a fix or a fail You've gave me the brave to attempt to fix some of my own broken items.
It is crazy, strangely it is the high price that probably makes it attractive to own. At least after the heartache of getting into it I was rewarded with a really easy fix 👍👍
You should've removed the old thermal paste and get some new in there.. but great repair! I wouldn't know if I would have tried this. Thumbs Up! Best wishes from Germany
I love your videos, your not a pro, but your willing to have a go, same as me. All you need is a little knowledge about everything, and if not, a bit of working out. You can climb mountains like that. We'll done feller.
Nice!!! It is a cool phone, leather is nice. The gap between the button is there because with the ZTE one the rail is narrower, the Lamborghini phone is wider.
Wow! That thing is beautiful. Amazing how tricky it is just to get to a faulty button, but you made it look easy, Vince! 😊 I remember a Bentley themed phone from working in my previous job, I think it was made by Vertu and it was jaw-droppingly expensive... Around £15k if I remember rightly. Not sure you'd be able to pick one of those up on eBay, but I really like the idea of these types of items for a mini-series. Great work 👍
If I remember correctly Vertu was owned by Nokia as their luxury brand. It was eventually spun off as their own company but, as you can imagine, they weren't very profitable
I was surprised by the Lambo Phone was based off a ZTE. Haven't had good experience with ZTE... but that's what you get while using a government phone... either way, good video!
That was awesome! I know what you mean about who would pay so much for it and such a shame that probably the cheapest part of it broke but a fantastic fix. Hopefully your son loves it.
To the Remove the carbon fibre inserts you could have used a thin piece of cotton thread a bit like a cheese wire. Fibre engineers sometimes use a nylon cord tied between two pieces of wood to remove the outer sheath of fibre optic cables
Nice work Vince! I think I remember the iPhone 4 had a similar issue with the power button, it would also wear out, you’re so smart tho, that piece of plastic is so genius and even if that bowl was sitting in front of me I wouldn’t have thought about that! Such a fascinating fix beyond impressed and entertained the whole time
As a previous watcher ( a year or two ago) I came to this video and was completely surprised at the change in Vinces voice! lol I thought it was an imposter
The irony of fixing a $2500 phone with a 1pence bit of plastic from a recycle bin is brilliant
ikr
That's why I love this channel! Just straight up practical do it yourself repair! Learning something new every time I watch. His thinking outside the box at times is just on the spot!
Thanks for the SPOILER. Now I wanna watch this video from start to finish
i thought that the black cushion pads on the volume may have been what they had underneath the power button.
Haha yes some one els will ask allot off money for this fix xD.
Vince, you are a brave man to start attacking a phone that cost you almost £300 with no prior info or help. Hats off that you got into it with virtually no damage. Well done. Love all your videos.
Thanks Mike 👍👍👍
What a result! You must be very pleased with that. Now you can tell people you own a Lamborghini.
I've made it 🤣
@@Mymatevince your so funny and @Elliot Coll your so funny.
Lol! Da boys will be like: "so where's the ride...?"
Vince takes out Lamborghini phone and enters UBER app.
"There's the ride..."
P.S. awesome fix btw, love when sometimes it's something SO simple
LOL!!!
Ayeeee ahahahah
Lamborghini should stick with cars. Now You can put this on your resume you worked on Lamborghinis! 👍
🤣🤣🤣👍👍
From some of the videos I have seen, their cars are even worse.
Ferrari are better than Lam's
Really enjoyed this one Vince! This was a great idea for a video. Nice work
Agreeable
Cheers Steve, glad you liked it 👍👍👍👍

Thanks John, a small cable tie would have worked nicely on this one too, might be a longer lasting fix as well 👍👍👍
I’d argue the fix wasn’t a bodge if it ends up being more reliable than it originally was. Great job as always Vince! 👍
Reminded me a bit of higher end LG builds. Was surprised to hear that wasn't the case.
Jeremy Clarkson would have probably called that power button design "ambitious, but rubbish". 🤣
Wonderful repair as always.

It's just a rebranded ZTE Axon 7
@@89ludeawakening1 thanks I had to look up the spec comparison after watching. ZTE isn't as well known in the States as it is in the UK or even Europe for that matter. Least from what I've gathered having lived in all three regions.
It kinda looked like a cross between an LG g4 and a Sony Xperia
Makes sense it's a zte, looked like a cheaper xiaomi.

well done , this problem also exist on Samsung S5 and S4 models , and a bit of cardboard brings it back to life ..nice work really , Your son is the boss with this phone ,
You’re a bloody star Vince!! I love your attitude to the jobs you get. You’re not easily deterred. And very inquisitive.
How many people were like “oooooooo, please don’t snap” when vince was taking it apart!?😂
ikr, then he would have been gutted, lol.
I definitely held my breath several times, and loved when he was just hoping to find another screw under the adhesive strip hahah totally been there.
As a person who SNAP more than 10lcd screens...i`m one of those person :)))

mate i love your videos as someone from the uk who buys random stuff to buy and fix your an actual inspiration to me and id love to learn from you
The pure luck of having a small fault not related to the phone itself is amazing. Good find!
This is actually my favourite kind of fix. My technical ability is far surpassed by my inability to take defeat well! Good perseverance getting the back off!

The phone is based on a ZTE Axon 7, you should get some spares for that if you need to.
I was gonna say this! I had that phone and replaced parts on the inside several times and it's so funny how they essentially rebranded a phone known for being inexpensive (although very good for the time)
@@justcallme00oogy Cheaper phone probably gives them more $$$$$ from sales
Congrats on the fix, very cool!
Only just had this one recommended to me by YT mate. Brilliant fix!
Did you give it to your son in the end?
Cheers Mike, I did, it is still in his room, but only used as a display piece rather than a phone. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Mate that is not a bodge job. It’s better than from the factory. Great ingenuity from you. Great job and great video as usual. You have come a long way since you first started out. Proud of ya man.
Absolute Quality Vince 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoyed watching this video. I was watching a PS4 repair and stepped out of my house. Came back in to this on. Nice random sub!
An entertaining and satisfying cheap fix for a very expensive phone. Enjoyed this one!
Wow what a perfect fix, really love how you fix things without any experiance with this device, the way you analyse and proceed.. just amazing to watch. well done Vince
The sheer guts to attempt a repair on such an expensive, exquisite phone is to be commended nevermind you only went and cracked it. Great video as always.

Vince, you came a long way. Back in ye olde days, I can remember you fixing simple stuff - cheap electronics...Now a Lamborghini!
Wow, no surprise that the big ol' wobbly power knob with a little bumper under it failed (and must be common if the seller had two others).
Nice job breaking into it with no reference anyway!
Amazing! And ironically I also used a cut off square of plastic from a fruit container to fix something yesterday, brilliant minds think alike 👍
👍👍👌
Hey Vince. Thanks again for all your hard work and continue to bring us all great content. Cheers🍻
Really amazing fix Vince. This phone deserves the new life.
Thank you Kiki 👍👍👍👍

This was the most savage scrappy repair I've ever seen. .

Love it when a plan comes together and dads a hero for another day
Looks similar to the SONY XPERIA C5 ULTRA DUAL, including the metal button on the side
One happy kid......Vince's lad is happy too. Nice.
Great video vince . Enjoyed watching u figure out how to take apart and bonus only a simple fix
Well done on fixing this. Love watching all your videos weather its a fix or a fail

really enjoyed your video on this Lambo phone...thanks for sharing
You some kind of genius, good vid bro, the button was grounding out, always fix the simple things first
What camera setup do you use for your micro soldering?
Absolutely brilliant! So glad you could get this one fixed, and rather simply too! Beautiful phone
