How I saved $1017 on the latest Samsung by fixing a broken one - Note10+ Restoration 

Hi, ex-samsung engineer here - when heating the device, place it on its front rather than the back. The reason for this is that the heat is not being applied directly to the battery or NFC/wireless charging coil, and removing the back glass is a lot easier. The heat will also evenly distribute throughout the body, and will allow you to remove the back glass.

The spudger. The most important tool in existence.

I'm really impressed how such a powerful smartphone has such small pieces like the motherboard.

Apple: unable to verify whether the battery is genuine. Camera failed to load.

"Carefully clipping it out of place" *Flies off the table*

old owner: give me back my phone! here’s your $700..

Being a Phone technician and having my first Samsung repair the other day outside of practice devices I was pleasantly surprised with how serviceable it was. Screen replacement on a Samsung A20 which requires parts to be moved to another device would have liked pull tabs of some sort on the battery but lots of heat solves that. All for Right to Repair as many devices can stay out of the landfill with a bit of TLC and a small amount of money on parts of eBay. Also, thanks for the inspiration from your channel. During the Pandemic I began my own local Mobile Device Repair Business which has been a profound success in my local community repairing iPhones and Samsung's alike. Currently working on an iPhone 7 Screen Replacement, found that investment in tools such as the iFixit ones have worked a treat unlike cheap tools, found out the hard way on my own old iPhone SE. Keep doing what you are doing!

4:25 that little piece next to the camera module looks like a miniature iPod!

No need a hot air station. Just put a macbook on it and it will certainly fry the back panel of the phone off.

1:41 so no-one's going to mention how cleanly the glue peeled off?

Is it just me who is angry of the smartphones being held together by glue instead of screws? You're likely to shatter panels instead of removing them.

You're a damn good expert, I started watching your videos today and I'm very impressed with your work.... Keep it up, Cheers....

Omg soo close to 400k well done mate.

Fun fact phone adhesive is used to glue bricks together it’s just disguised as concrete

Honestly the best video I have seen all day on this type of repair! Thank you for all the tips, and I am feeling more confident in doing my own repairs now using your comprehensive tutorial 😁✌️

Congrats Hugh. You’ve reached to 400k subscribers. Stay blessed and create the best content you can.

You’ve inspired me to start doing this stuff myself, I ordered a lot of stuff to repair my old phones and my old iPad! I thank you very much!

Always has been, and always will be my favorite RU-vid Channel. Been here since 15,000, will be here past 1,000,000.

Have to say that your video presentation AND narration are absolutely TOP NOTCH ! Thanks for your sharing this delicately intricate skill 🙃

3:59 "Carefully clipping it out" Piece: *Flies off*

It’s through watching your videos I’ve started doing simple repairs myself. Haven’t plucked up the courage to do a complete housing change yet as there’s too many bloody screws lol. Keep at it man.

Tip: (I work on a Samsung Autorized Service Center) you can preheat it on that base between 10 a 30 minutes.

Congrats on 400k dude im really enjoying the vids during this time keep the great work

Congrats on 400k mate I'm so happy for you

I like it when at the end he says 'and we are done' like we did anything

Happy 400k hugh you deserve it mate keep up the great work and content

Thank u so much for this demonstration, the video is so good and your voice is so soothing. I loved it!!!!!!

1 YEAR LATER : *I was given a free BROKEN PS5! Lets Fix it!*

"And on that *note* this has been a Hugh Jeffreys video."

Always love the vids! ♥️

Your videos are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!!!!!!! it's super relaxing to sit back and watch these after a day of FIXING CARS , WHAT A BIGG W :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My most favourite Hugh Jeffreys video at the moment not because I am wanting to repair my Note10+ myself if ever it gets broken or whatnot but because I am very much amazed on how he opens the device in an organise manner unlike any other RU-vidrs out there. #WatchingThisOnMyNote10+

This video was uploaded 26 minutes ago and it already has over 5000 views. Good job Hugh keep up the hard work

Nice to see you got a pre-heating station. Ones with a vacuum are very useful. You can use them to reclaim LEDs with the proper technique. I use mine for cost efficient Apple Watch repair replacing just the glass. Good vid. All the best

For removing the back glass, put some isopropyl alcohol on the tip of the plastic pick and use a suction cup to get an opening on the back panel. It makes it way easier to remove the back considering you need to replace the adhesive anyways

Lets get Hugh to 500k!! (Love your videos btw, keep up the good efforts)

Amazing work, best phone in the collection! Followed closely by the S10+

I just bought an iPhone XR for $375 AUD, it’s got cracks, but it’s an easy fix. What a bargain!

lol for 700 i could almost buy a brand new note 10+ in germany Edit: never mind I just realised that an australian $ = 0.6€

people like yourself who go out of the way to repair phones and other tech instead of throwing them in the landfill are such admirable people, with patience and skill so much tech can be given a second or even third life.

Nearly reaching 400k Hugh!!

"not a fan of the no headphone jack" works on iPhones all day, lol

Congrats on 400K subscribers!! 🥳

I really like the volume buttons are placed on the left it is every left handed's dream including me!

I’ve got one of these I’m currently looking to repair. Your timing is always excellent. My last repair was an iPad 5 and you released your iPad 5 repair video like right after I ordered the digitizer 🤔

just the replacement screen costs more than my phone when I bought it new

The s8's vibration was awesome 😍

Congrats on 400k mate, you earned it.

The intro: okay time to talk about conspiracy theories and how aliens are real After the intro: *the kindest "hi guys" I've ever heard*

Good job. Keep fixing 😊

"and were done" Well done Hugh another great and therapeutic video.

Congrats for 400k I’ve been subbed since 1k

1st I thought he never installed screen just disassemble and start assembling again. Then I watched again. He actually bought whole new frame with the screen. Incredible.

Alternate Title: How I saved $1017 on the latest Samsung by fixing a broken one and made over $2500 making a video over it.

Congrats on 400k 🎉 Just recently subscribed to your channel hahaha

u have passion toward electronics love ur videos

I'm Watching From Sudan 🇸🇩 bro and you're Amazing 👏

"not a huge fan of the hole punch or the lack of a headphone jack". *Primarily fixes iPhones.....

Great video as always👍🌟

bro these videos are really interesting, you got my attention

13 year old kid who was not well liked in school: *watches hugh jeffreys and successfully does a screen replacement on a classmate's Iphone SE* *Is now popular*

i payed 250 dollars for a note 10 the owner said it wouldnt turn on i said sure ill buy it, 1st thing i did was replace the battery and it turned on everything worked perfectly and the phone was in a condition of 10/10 looked brand new, im so happy

400k subs! Congrats

Great job and nice savings 👍. Thank you for your great videos.

3:53 Hugh : Mother Board Subtitles: Umm... i think he said “Mother Bullet”

4:06 When you think it's JerryRigEverything D-Brand teardown case

I love it when you purchase a lot of cell phones and parts and review unbox them; do it again

Love your step by step instructions 👍

Now we have matching phone sir :D

just like saving lives

Amazing job Hugh😊

You should use X-Ray film cut up to size to remove glued backs. It is thin enough but strong enough tu cut thru the adhesive. I use it daily and it works amazingly well.

Watching vids of you fixing things makes me feel like I can fix myself too mate

There’s a mother board and a daughter board, what about the father board😂

I work for a company called Mobile Klinik, we are Samsung Authorized and we do Samsung warranty repairs and such, speaks from experience if the machine that opens up the back is not working and we have to open the phone manually we never use the suction cup since it has a high chance of breaking the backglass. And for the wireless charger coil you never wanna remove it from the loud speaker since it might break easily. But great job man i really enjoyed watching this👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

400K!!!! GREAT WORK HUGH! :D

I am an electrical engineer with expertese in the field of telecommunications. I am addicted to your videos, they have a strange calming effect. They solve the curiosity as how modern electronic devices look like from deep inside. It requires a massive level of patience and determination to repair these phones and computers. It seems now that repairing these devices is not only a skill but an art.

7:27 bruh

I had the exact same problem With my s20+, only my screen wasn't all white just yet, but was flashing like crazy. Where I Live no one was able to do the screen replacement.. so I had to go to a Samsung dealer to get it done 😔 but gotta say, loved their job.. as the phone is still on warranty, they replaced the battery which apparently wasn't all that great, also replaced a piece from the charging board area, and it came with all the original protective plastics, including the ones going around the metal frame. Really great work

Good job for 400k !

"this series of flex cables" *wierd flex but ok*

10:58 was rather redundant to include seeing that you already mentioned the vibration motor working at 8:33 and it being held down at 7:21

Good job brother....keep it up... I think a nylon thread and rubbing alcohol would be a good option for curved edges because it will automatically change shape according to the shape of device...

congratulations on 400k

The father board went to get the milk 15 years ago

8:32 top secret reveals

thank you for the knowledge, now i'm starting to repair my cell phone, laptop ETC all by my self with confidence which is could be more cheap and effective. btw i'm loyal subscriber from Indonesia :)

Great work, mate!

epic video lad, just like all others! :)

I respect the mobile repair men more than ever!

I must say that this is one of the best phone repair channels

Congratulations for 400k subs🤗

Cool

358 dollars? That phone wich is broken will cost 100dollars in my country 350 dollars is like a 2nd hand good condition Samsung S10+ or a Iphone X

Really enjoying watching your videos bro god bless you keep it up

Great phone, and great job! I was about to buy a used one but then decided on a Note 8 that was used with a small almost invisible crack on the screen, for only $109, thus I saved hundreds of dollars! I Bought it recently on Ebay. I slipped in my Verizon sim and it worked like a charm, even though it's AT&T branded,- Boy did I get lucky!

Imagine finding a $300 Note10 on eBay

I thought that phone background was a screen defect 😂

darn it Hugh lucky pay dirt.good tutorial as always.keep it up mate.and yeah the dislikes,just ignore them🙈🙈🙈

Congrats on 400k
