At least you spelt annual the right way this time 😅
What will the cost of repair for screen like this in Android. Many smartphones have green/pink line issue like this in India. Will it be cheaper than how much than changing whole screen
No thx youtube is free.
Have you backed to China again?
I've shared your video with the oneplus community Bangladesh.
You are welcome 😊
THIS IS HUGE, and proves that you cannot stop the repair industry. all of the serialization, bullying, fearmongering and blacklisting is merely a roadblock
Uh oh samsung does that but they don't really do that much because they are in the midrange bussiness too so more like just apple
not really though..... all these things are really common and pretty available in china but in the US, Europe it isn't. here when you go to a repair shop they only do part swaps for brands they have parts on hand. the screen, the battery or a whole motherboard... that's it. you have to go hunting really deep to find a guy that will replace a broken fllex cable or fix some water damage or solder replacement for corroded caps. if you find a guy at all in your city...
this only means we will get cheaper refurb displays that perform like new for all phones except iPhones pretty soon.
@@spiderpig1736 Apple, Samsung etc would stop these anti-repair practices if people voted with their wallets and stopped buying their over-priced, non-environmentally friendly products UNTIL the companies made them easy and cheap to repair.
@@spiderpig1736 by far the most common cause of display malfunction is dropping your phone and breaking the glass. This machine doesn’t do anything to help with that. Apple will gladly replace your screen for you instead pf telling you to buy a new one. They charge so much for the repair, it’s like printing money for them.
Can I send my iPhone 13 Pro Max for repair please?
This repair tool won't be made obsolete by serialisation. Good invention and a perfect time for it.
fantastic tool but i bet money they will now invest in a solution to prevent the laser being used after manufacturing
one apple engineer out there rn working to put in fake pixels so if the traces get bridged on them it shuts off the entire screen
It's better to just buy a new phone and not have all these lasers around to be turned on us by the AI when it gets tired of human BS.
@@StoneyCalzoney and someone will start a class action for planned obsolesce, because in some rare, but proven, cases this manipulation detection triggers in the field on phones that where never lasered.
Wish burn in had a fix. A lot second hand phones have that problem
I am from the phone repair industry and this tool is definitely a game changer for the refurbishing industry. Thanks for sharing this Scott. 👍🏻
I think even moderately-busy individual shops or small chains will be able to justify it. At $12k, it's a no-brainer for any organization that is even dipping their toes into doing their own refurbishing.
HOWEVER, it will take about 1-2 hours to fix a single phone screen, and good luck training a technician to do this at good successful rate. Even if you do have a technician to do it, then you will have to pay him like $40/hour plus benefit and tax, the total cost to you will be near $50-60/hour depending on your location. And this does not even include all other cost to you as business. You essentially will have to charge someone $100-200 per screen repair. Let's be honest, 99% of people will just go to Apple store to get it fixed even when they charge $100 extra. That's why "repairing" industry is now almost exclusively for cars and luxury items that is worth the $80/hour rate.
@@petergao6998 This is just the first iteration though, where you manually are seeking out those bad traces. It could potentially get to the point where you pop in the screen, it automatically picks out what it believes are the bad traces, the operator confirms, and then it's done.
Game changer for aliexpress scam sellers, more new screens will have lines before and die because of other causes 😅
Not good for the customer 😂
@@petergao6998 This would be huge if it can repair a laptop screen repair because most of the laptop screen are expensive af and it very hard to get not even the official store wants to replace the screen without charging 80% of the laptop price itself but yeah its very rare and most of the problem are the port and pins destroyed
This is amazing news for the 3rd party repair industry. It's so exciting to see the innovations as they're happening. Thanks for sharing man!
But while people try to be involved with repair industry, other measures will always be ahead to prevent and shut it down. They will just get rid of the phone. How it is built just like beepers or anything else they got rid of that would be repaired.
@@MacNiftyapple won't like that😂😂😂😂
yep, this laser repair machine very practical, we has also introduced this machine. New Laser Technology Lowers OLED iPhone Display Repairs Costs
There is a technician wiltech in Colombia, he repairs any iphone and apple is trying to shut him down.
They will start putting an anti-lazer doping agent that absorbs the lazer so the screen can't be repaired
More fixing, less throwing away. Love it!
@@Jisooya_jichuuya Toxic people is toxic because their circle is toxic. 🐍 ha ! .
That is a basic of how certain people minds works. If they had a snag on their minds, they will try to take it out by doing "vengeance" to people around them. It is not pretty, but that is one part of how their mind work. While there is also people who keep these snag hoping it to unwind itself later.
we need to make the companies accountable
Someone isn’t thinking of the share holders /s
but this only depends on the person - doesn't he want to sell you a new screen or wants to actually work.
I need one of these 😅
Ight
Get one!!!!
I want one too lol
eyyy my favorate technician is here too
Hell yeah me too 😂
Few moments later... "we have a package ! now this is going to revolutionise my repairs 😄"
Remember when the lazer iPhone back glass removal tool first came to market, now the corner shop has one and it will certainly happen with that machine too. Truly amazing
When you have any issue with any phone, you can use the same machine to remove the glass back.
But the current machine in video? How much green line issue percentage? 1.5/10 of total repair issue that need to open the phone up?
@fantasytky28 Do you have any idea how common this damage is on OLED phones? It's super common, probably only less common than broken back glass or water damage. The display is the weak point of the phone, everything else is either easy to replace or hard to break.
@@randomblock1_ as common as you want, the percentage of using this to fix the display is always way way way lower then using the machine that open your phone
If you have broken display that going to use this machine, 100percent you can use the phone opening machine.
But when you use the phone opening machine, not 100percent time it's related to fixing the glass.
Can't you get it?
To fix something in the room, you 100percebt have to open the door everytime. But not all the time you open the door that you are going to fix the display related thing in the room.
@@fantasytky28 nobody said this is going to replace any other machine... it's going to make it possible to repair screens instead of replacement. It's not like the repair shop can only have 1 machine
@@randomblock1_ I did not say it's going to replace. Gosh. You have problem understanding the discussion here
I'm an iphone repairer from Brazil and i can say that the whole market was waiting for this, i saw this machine 2 monts ago on youtube videos and i was stunned that is finally turned real,
Get your shop to buy one ASAP and then you have infinite returnz!
Só achei engraçado dizer que só repara iPhones.. Tem um Oneplus ali logo no início! Um técnico no Brasil afirmou que somente faz em iPhone ! Sendo que as telas são basicamente de mesmos fabricantes.
@@igorarusa7106 Eu só reparo iPhones em MINHA assistência amigo, a máquina repara qualquer tela.
Esperando chegar no br pra arrumar a porcaria do meu sony xperia 5 kk
This could work as a small business in the west. Your costs are low because you don't have to ship all the parts overseas. Your labour is more but your turn around is faster. Sops than send you 100 screens to repair can have them back much quicker with no risk of Apple claiming them as fake apple screens. this could change the whole dynamic of screen repair in the west. Seeing as the phone manufactures have done everything they can to make it so you can't repair your phones.
until apple patents it and charges 10k per phone repair
Apples claims all screen are non genuine if you haven't gotten their permission to do a repair.
So get a business loan, setup a corner of your house and start going! I got one in my hand you can repair lol
@@dbousq Serialization prevents repairs because if you can't fix the one you have, you can't go get another one. This is a new way to fix what you already have. I don't think that's really very important, though.
@@kevinmorricethis video dictates its not novel and therefore cant patent it.
I'm actually watching this video while doing glass & serialization IC reball and transplant on two iPhone 14 Pro Max OLEDs, both damaged by impact, and both with fat lines running right down the center of the panels. Both flex assemblies were fine, so the damage is internal . . SO THIS MACHINE WOULD SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY!! I do keep all of my broken OLEDs, so this thing would be an amazing tool to have! I've been using i2C's (the company, not the protocol) programmers for years to transfer serialization & True Tone data from panel to panel, but they can't read and transfer the glass ICs data from the 14 Pro series iPhones just yet, so transplanting the ICs is currently the only way to not only preserve True Tone & auto-brightness, but to get rid of the 'not original display' message . . . AND I USE OEM PANELS! That's something that REALLY irritates me about Apple's (Samsung's & sometimes LG's) panels; instead of writing the firmware & microcode so that iOS sees that a panel is an OEM part, they went with SINGLE COMPONENT PAIRING BY SERIALIZATION INSTEAD . . . IMHO TO ROADBLOCK INDEPENDENT REPAIR!
Thank you for sharing this with all of us, seriously, THANK YOU! I'll probably wait until the 2nd gen to buy one of these for my shop, BUT I'M DAMN TEMPTED TO GET ONE ASAP!!
🙂👍🐧🐧
I cant imagine the profit you’ll be making from those leftover OLEDs, hoping to get my hands in this business one day 🙌🏼
@@atillasteel RIGHT?! I have SO MANY iPhone OLEDs that were 'BROKEN,' but thanks to this tech making its way to the prosumer market, they might actually be "broken?" I keep even the most busted display assemblies, because there's always gonna be a situation where you need a donor flex because you don't have any new ones, or you need a very specific LPM and/or glass IC, or some other obscure use case, like using an shield from a smashed iPhone 13 Pro Max display assembly as a makeshift BGA CPU border glue/fill remover tool (only had to do that once, broke my trusty old scraper and needed an insanely thin piece of aluminum, and I glanced over at my 'fuct' box, and had a lightbulb moment).
Anyway, my point is that I definitely horde broken OLEDs, but perhaps I've just been 'saving' malfuntioning OLEDs. My girlfriend won't buy it though, as a question I hear A LOT from her is: "Why do we have a box of sad iPhone screens and broken glass, can we throw this away?"
Now I can say "nah babe, I need 'em" and it'll way more legit than it was before I saw this video!!
In all seriousness though, this tech is amazing, and I'm so ready for it!
That's very cool. It's great, because you don't have to buy non-OEM screens and wait like 3 weeks for them to arrive if you can just have someone repair it professionally locally. It would be nice if the OEM's did repairs with this method so that an official repair wouldn't be like $500.
OEM probably won't bother locally due to scale issues, and very few third party likely have the turnover to justify such a machine at its current costs (scale issue.. but the other way around.)
locally when the machine cost 12k$? what is local to you and how many phones are in that market that will show this defect? you need that number to calculate how much the repair will cost.
Ngl I don't think this machine gonna work those line usually are specific type of brokescreen
$500 would be incredibly cheap for just the amount of labor they took to do this. Then they have overhead and the cost of this machine where they would need to do many thousands repairs to pay for it.
@@curtisbme How is $500 cheap when it's half the price of a high-end phone?
Glad you’re recovering well! Awesome to see a new video.
Man that's one of the coolest pieces of equipment I've seen, incredibly impressive and it will pay for itself in no time, awesome video!
So awesome! I missed this Strange Parts!
That laser is awesome. I want one of the little screen test devices that he plugged the screen into after the repair. It went through a few pictures and color blocks.
Great to see a return to your classic video style. This sort of video is the reason I subscribe; keep it up!
Cool to see one of these more exotic NUV objectives in action! I'm into microscopy and use mitutoyo objectives myself.
Absolutely amazing technology!! Glad to see you back by the way thank you for the great videos!
Somebody didn't want to be on camera but still decided to hang out in front of it while you are filming? Or could you just not find them to get the signoff?
The first option. Kind of annoying, but we made it work.
@@StrangeParts Just a side note, you forgot to blur the guy's face at 5:08. Otherwise an informative video and glad you're uploading again!
Don't worry i send it to Apple,
Yeah editing mistake at 5:08-5:09 but it’s whatever
@@StrangeParts Wow, what a tool. Thanks for letting us know. :) Maybe get signoff from everybody before filming them?
This is amazing! Hopefully this would mean refurbished replacement screens will get a lot cheaper in the future
Great video, this is incredible!
Happy to see you posting again, take care.
That is one of the coolest devices I've ever seen, and it avoids tons of electronic waste. I love it.
@@spiderpig1736 na. Samsung has way more market shares in different fields. Apple on the other hand is a waste of MONEY.
@@spiderpig1736 not really
@@Surms41 How is apple a waste of money? Their products are good and work over the years and have longevity
@@alternatedenz "Longevity" No they don't.
IPhones are just another object that can and will break. They are slower than a ton of other phones, yet cost about 50% more for less features, less performance, and a cut down shitting operating system. And the fact they roll out updates after a few years and make the old phones stutter and lag purposefully.
Scott being this excited just makes me so excited about stuff too, I just love to see your videos man!
this is so cool tbh... hope this'll also mean we'll see less "90% new" screens on sites like aliexpress with very obvious problems like bad quality glass/mounting points etc bc they had to change the whole thing, now they can just fix the panel itself.
Really cool tech and very skillful people, im glad these things exist tbh
Great to see you seem to be doing better 👍 and interesting video
Thats insane! The repair industry can really do anything.
Thats so cool. I love ACF, i remember trying to buy some nearly 10yrs ago when i broke some Samsung S4 flex cables, but i couldnt find it, and it looked like you needed a special press machine to install it.
This reminds me of repairing the vertical line issues on the original DMG Gameboy, but that is repairing the flex cable. This method could probably be used to repair the horizontal line issues that can't be replaced with a soldering iron. Luckily the IPS mods have made any of that repair obsolete.
Seeing a machine that fixes something instead of changing them is a breath of fresh air nowadays. I wonder what apple would do to avoid people from using it to fix their phones.
Fixing a MacBook 💻 at Apple’s “idiot” bar is like: we have to change the motherboard and that would be $800 plz. 💀
Despite that, people will still buy Apple products and scream "apple is so greedy! CLasSiC cApItALisM"
This is actual proof that these problems are with the oled itself and not "graphics driver/chip corruption" and "won't be covered under warranty as it's not a defect" like what manufacturers say to deny warranty claims.
What awesome technology, so cool to see the latest in electronics repair!
Just because it’s an infrared laser doesn’t mean that you don’t need laser goggles… it means that you need them even more than with visible lasers!
It’s also a pulsed laser, it might have a power of way over 1kW, even if last only one micro second you don’t want any reflex in your eyes.
Yep, it's a heavily focussed Q-switched Nd:YAG pulse laser. I would wear googles all the time near that thing...
Let me guess, you are probably the same type of person that would be too afraid to stick your hand into the cage of a wild beast 🙄
@@cmorche /r/LeopardsAteMyFace/
I’ve been using an 8 watt blue laser to whiten my teeth for years. Is that dangerous?
Insane way to fix olead, amazing
2min into the video and gotta say this is very impressive, I've never seen something like this
Soo great to see you in action again!!
Wow and Amazing as always good to have you back and seems like at more than full speed.
This was f#@%!ng awesome! It was like watching PBS kids science shows from childhood but for adult tech nerds. I love it!!!
I hope processes like this will help people hold on to their phones for longer than a year or two.
Not only that, hopefully we can see more innovation in new devices from this type of effort. I heard that they're going to make it easier for us to replace batteries. 2027 I believe
Nice to see you back with this kind of content. Awesome
Bring these videos back! I love it dude
Apple be like;
Yeah, that'll be $3999 plus tax.
Pretty normal economical thinking. If it sounds too good to be true = Increase the price to level it's not worth it anymore.
@@user-eq2fp6jw4g well yes. why fix, when you can sell a new version for a lot more $? Make it hard to fix and force them to buy again!!!
Corporation mentality
Wow bro so funny :neutral_face: not like i've seen it a billion times
Glad that they managed to find a solution. Kinda sad that last year I had to throw away my OnePlus 8pro due to this reason.
you throw away because it had 2 line?
@@VJETRA one vertical pink line at the middle of the screen. Tried my best to use it. But had to throw away after a week, the line makes it fatiguing for my eyes and also it was very irritating to use the phone with the line.
@@titanu24 i mean ....can't you like sell it , give it away to relative or someone , or try overlay the screen so it appear black instead?
@@VJETRA I didn't really threw it in the dumps. I gave it to a reseller for 1/4 of the price I bought it for. I tried but, it's very tough to sell these type of phones as nobody wants to buy a phone with a permanent line. Because these lines multiplies very rapidly. Fixing the phone was never an option the display literally cost 1/2 of the phones price.
@@titanu24this highlights how good the tool is, all of these components just to lose them with a screen that is not worth to replace. Now these guys can buy phones/screens at 1/4 a phone's price or a screen at 1/20th of its price and restore it to about full price
Sustainability moving forward and right to repair helping to achieve.
Thanks for the share and keep it going!
Glad to see you back on the move, wisching you great success!
Amazing tech, and as always nice to see you back!
I love how this channel is blowing up! More people need to watch scott, it’s amazing to see how much he is learning and I like trying to follow along a bit 😂
This gives me hope. I really want the repair industry to be the next boom in the tech space.
It's alway _fascinating_ to watch your shows.
Awesome to see you back, Scotty! 🎉🎉🎉
wish i could buy this for my shop its a game changer
Glad to see you up and back, mate. Love your excitement!!! Technology is moving at a mind-boggling rate!!!
That's so cool that they even do it while it's on so you can see it be fixed so satisfying
Blew my freaking mind, ACF tape, Lazers & OLEDs incredible!
This reminds me of how you have to repair Gameboy screens you have to heat up the traces with a soldering iron which fixes it eventually...I know this is completely different but the line going away is pretty much the same visually and the feeling it gives haha
just bigger connections and you are essentially blasting every trace hoping it melts at the right spots
Really great video. The mainstream stance on modern technology feels like "You wouldn't understand. Just buy the magic smartphone." But there are a lot of us that want to understand the details! Thanks!
frickin LASER BEAMS. lol cool to see you back out man glad youre feeling better
DUDE! That's fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Cool, I’ve had this lightsaber line for the past year and a half on my iphone x. Didn’t fix it because I thought replacing the screen was to expensive for such an old phone and then decided to wait for the first iohine with a usb c. But if this was availabke I definitely would have had it fixed!
How are you living with it 🤯
damn the amount of perfectly good displays that get thrown because of those lines will almost be instantly reduced. it also means that you don't have to replace a screen but instead just fix it and the manufacture who linked the parts together will not be able to tell whether the screen is not official or not, looking at you apple.
This is fantastic! cannot wait a gen or 2 where its affordable for small repair shops!
What's fascinating is the explanation of how a folding screen isolated in a stationary position is more robust than a typical solid display assembly.
I still don't fully understand. Can it only fix lines, or a completely broken or shattered screen too? Because, for example, 90% of screen breakdowns are smashed.
He says it in the video multiple times. It can't fix a broken screen (cracked glass) it only fixes screen that have a line. To be clear, this does not repair broken glass.
VERY COOL! Just the e-waste savings alone is great but so many folks are going to make a ton of cash for what used to be an "unfixable" issue that'd require replacing the whole screen. $12K? At current cost of repair rates that thing would pay for itself in almost no time at all.
This is amazing! At first I was surprised he wasn't wearing gloves but as I thought about it I realized that the feel probably matters a lot and even a thin layer could make the difference when handling an oled screen
Great seeing tools brothers doing well after all these years especially after covid
If it fixes foldable screens too that would just take it to a new level.
It will. Probably with little firmware update since its plastic and not glass.
I saw on the original channel, this machine fixes the green line on the Samsung flip phone
Wow this might be the first time I've seen a video with only a nebula sponsorship. Good for you Scotty!
Very cool video, happy to see you back in the swing of things.
So cool to see one of the guys from jet lag make such a good tech vid!
First class laser safety 😂
Lmao they don't care.
This really puts in perspective of the right to repair
This is actually really interesting. Thanks for sharing Scott! 😄
THIS IS AWESOME! fixing things that couldn't be fixed before, that most people would consider impossible! Less waste!
I cannot imagine it ever being used commercially other than at some huge recycling/refubrishment factory in China. The service cost alone will surely cost just as much as getting a replacement display since the machine costs a lot and requires someone skilled to operate it. It's not something that could ever work out in the Western world where you would get like 5-10 phones a month with this type of issue.
Yeah the self-righteous west who cares so much about environmentalism yet so addicted to consumerism and its broke-throwaway practice. “No fucking way this will work in the west”
In the west or just in your hopeless country?
crazy to see everyone going about using such powerful lasers without any eye protection 😟😟😨😨
exactly my thought.
these may not be 'such' powerful, not much energy is required to make those changes in OLED.
This was impressive! Thanks for sharing!
Good to see you back posting your great videos. Watching all the way from Kenya
That machine pays itself after 3 screen repairs
that’s awesome and will save so many resources! this should get a sustainability award!
Ah classic strange parts ! Great video!
China always ahead..
So smart! Love this to help all the people with broken screens and less waste!
LASER equipment for TV panel repair has been in the market for years now. But how great to see this innovation for mobile phone OLED repair! ❤
love this, thanks scotty.. looking well.
finally saw you after a long time...now it feels really good
This is fantastic. We need more repair over replace.
dude!! glad you back, awesome videos !!!
Always the best TH-camr on my list. Waiting so long for your new video but it's worth it.
I'm still under nda so i can’t say much about what I was doing but, from experience, yag laser welding is so much fun. You can do so many impressive precision adjustments just by placing beads along mating surfaces. say you have a pair of square ends you need to join precisely, two instantaneous beads on opposite sides can make a connection on the x plane, one more bead on one side can pull and align a weld toward that side on the y plane, one more bead next to another can push that weld back to square and another between those first two can pull the weld up on the z plane. pretty convenient when you have to align something perfectly... like an optical device...
its a very strict nda.
Really glad to see you’re doing better mate 🙌
Had to watch it twice to understand it properly! It's great!❤
You were fantastic on JetLag!! So much fun watching
this is geuinely cool, imagine have a broken screen and just going to a quick store to get it fixed immediately. saving so much time and parts for going to waste
Loved it, glad you're back
dude you always have SICK videos
I was just thinking about you buddy yesterday now somehow TH-cam remember again to see your video... Happy to see you recover from head injury 🙂
This is awesome! I'm delighted tools like this exist that will help keep broken screens out of e-waste around the world.
This is fascinating
Great job. Amazing video!
Ayy congrats on being featured in the news / Techlinked. It’s like all my TH-cam worlds are colliding between this, LTT, and Jet Lag lol.
Absolutely amazing. If I could never work and just learn about this kind of innovative stuff all day I'd be in heaven.
