Trying to FIX a Broken $2.5K Lamborghini Luxury Phone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.พ. 2022
- Here we have the start of a new mini series of attempted fixes on broken unusual branded items. To start it off we have a faulty Lamborghini mobile cell phone which retailed in 2017 at $2500. It was sold in Harrods, Dubai and other areas in the United Arab Emirates. I paid £299 from eBay in 2022. It doesn't power on. Can it roar into life again or will it end up on the scrap heap...let's find out.
If you have any other ideas for interesting products from expensive brands, please add them to the comments and I will see if I can get hold of a faulty one.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
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 👍👍👍
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
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
Really enjoyed this one Vince! This was a great idea for a video. Nice work
Agreeable
Cheers Steve, glad you liked it 👍👍👍👍
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 :)))
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.
😂👍👌 Cheers HFR
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.
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.
The pure luck of having a small fault not related to the phone itself is amazing. Good find!
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
Thanks John, a small cable tie would have worked nicely on this one too, might be a longer lasting fix as well 👍👍👍
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
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! 👍
Hey Vince. Thanks again for all your hard work and continue to bring us all great content. Cheers🍻
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.
You’re a bloody star Vince!! I love your attitude to the jobs you get. You’re not easily deterred. And very inquisitive.
Man it must be so cool to have you as a dad. I would never have to worry about stick drift on my controllers or heating issues on my consoles lmao
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.
Absolutely brilliant! So glad you could get this one fixed, and rather simply too! Beautiful phone
That was a really brilliant repair, I thoroughly enjoy the video thank you.
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!
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👍
Nice one Rich, cheers 👍👍
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.
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!
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!
Congrats on the fix, very cool!
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
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.
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
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.
Brilliant work, love that it was fixed by something from your bin! Tremendous 👏👏
An entertaining and satisfying cheap fix for a very expensive phone. Enjoyed this one!
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!
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.
Awesome =D Really pleased you could fix this, and the solution was perfect imo =D Crazy price for what it is lol
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 👍👍
Amazing! And ironically I also used a cut off square of plastic from a fruit container to fix something yesterday, brilliant minds think alike 👍
👍👍👌
Great video vince . Enjoyed watching u figure out how to take apart and bonus only a simple fix
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!
Love it! and looking forward to the "premium brand" playlist. Thanks greatly Vince for the "infotainment"
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...
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 ☹
Thank you Mike 👍👌
Great video, I love jerry rig everything and loved the endeavour to get this sorted. New fan. 👍
I’m gonna say vince your a legend and the way you present the videos are outstanding and super interesting well done vince again 👍👍👍👍
I can't remember how long I've watched your videos, but every single time a new one pops up, it makes my day. Cheers from America!
Nice one Vince, I love it when a bodge comes together
Keep up the videos! You definitely gave me a confidence boost. I've bought soldering equipment to fix broken electronics.
Really amazing fix Vince. This phone deserves the new life.
Thank you Kiki 👍👍👍👍
Next up: MMV trying to fix a Lamborghini Countach acquired faulty from eBay. :) MMV the master of preserverance.
Brilliant fix Vince,totally agree with you aswell that it's definitely going to be worth a penny or 2 in a few years
i was waiting for someone to say its a 'rubbish' repair 🤣 nice fix 👍
How cool is that! Nice one Vince. 👍
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 👍.
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
Well done vince good to watch and learn
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.
Thank you so much for that Great Video. That was so amazing. And your son is happy now.
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!
Excellent fix Vince! Came through with some MacGyver thinking! 👍 Keep it up!
Absolute Quality Vince 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing video mate great fix 👏👏❤️❤️
Bloody awesome Vince
Vince, you came a long way. Back in ye olde days, I can remember you fixing simple stuff - cheap electronics...Now a Lamborghini!
really enjoyed your video on this Lambo phone...thanks for sharing
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 👍
I'll look into it Steve, that would be amazing if I could find one. Thank you👍👍
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
@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.
Well done! Very smart fix.
@33:37 - Now we know why the power button was knackered - the previous owner turned it on and off a thousand times at parties...
Loved this fix ❤ well done mate 👏 whens the next fix 👍
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
nicely done very relax to watch and very done
Great video :) keep doing :) i like mostly videos where you repair macbooks, old toys ;)
Genius bro great video ✌️🇬🇧
This 2500$ smartphone looks a lot like it isn't waterproof.
One could think not having waterproofness is in any way a form of luxury.
just getting a earphone jack is a luxury these days on the new phones
When you pay that much for a phone for status, you don't care if its waterproof. you'll just buy a new one. Most luxury items aren't very durable for this reason.
No phone is waterproof. The most "waterproofed ones" will succumb to water damage. It's just that they hold it off slightly and have indicators to tell the repairer/recycler it was water damage.
@@acumenium8157 I've got a galaxy s8 that spent a week at the bottom of a creek 2 years ago and it still works to this day, I also washed it under a tap weekly. Just opened it last week to put a new battery in it (So it's not waterproof anymore) But there was no evidence of ingress after all those years. It just kicks around on the bench now paired to my thermal cam.
It's based on a Chinese phone, and made back in 2017. Don't expect waterproof to be a norm for these "boutique" phones. You're more likely to fine rare metals and gems on these phones than waterproofing.
$2.5K Lamborghini Luxury Phone fixed with a piece of plastic reclaimed from the bin unbelievable. Brilliant result vince
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).
Das war wieder ein tolles Video ! 👍
from lamborghini toy car to lamborghini phone 😁 can’t wait for the porsche toaster
i can only imagine the bragging right your son has right now with his mates haha he's gonna be top dog
Nice job Vince! Well done! I hope you plan to buy the other two phones from that seller and see if they got the same issue. Also if you have a shop where you sell things like this phone i would be willing to buy it… shipping would be to Germany.
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!
This was a awesome fix great job
I was really happy for you when that phoned turned on :) great job :)
Really enjoyed this one ,
Great. Thanks for rescuing this entertaining piece of designed technology. Greetings from germany.
Love it when a plan comes together and dads a hero for another day
Mini Vince loved it!
just tuning in.. I think its awesome.. hope u fix it :-)
Good job as always!
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
Excellent video 👍
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'll admit it; that repair gave me a good laugh :) Italian mechanics everywhere will be cheering loudly.
i'm addicted to repairing videos
My Mate Vince... qualified Lamborghini technician.
😂👍
Nice one buddy. Good job. Get the other ones to fix.
This was the most savage scrappy repair I've ever seen. .
That start up is mint well donefor the fix
One happy kid......Vince's lad is happy too. Nice.
Great repair 👍
Great job mate
What camera setup do you use for your micro soldering?
The interesting thing about the price tag is that the brands have the phone built to spec put a price tag of what they think will distance regular buyers and those with more money than sense and the "limited edition" items usually sell out (no pun intended) - if they can manage to get on a TH-cam/social media influencer channel that almost guarantees they'll be sold out right around launch based on the "buzz". Sometimes these items come with a "concierge" service for a period of time too which is nothing more than what you would get having a credit card with a high annual fee.
Great repair job - I can see how someone with this phone would just sit and press that power/wake button for hours on end like a fidget spinner....
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.
