Huawei P30 Pro Restoration - Fixing A Technicians Mistakes 

"oddly, the screws are not magnetic, so I've had to use a pair of tweezers to pull them out" ... " The last repairer needed an iFixit magnetic mat, which would had helped to keep the screws organized and stop them to getting lost" :D I still love Hugh's videos. Very educational. I am also a huge supporter of the right to repair movement.

For a second I thought the new screen was faulty - then noticed it had the screen protector still on.

Excellent repair and restoration as usual. The P30 Pro was one of the last decent Huawei phones, as it was the last flagship to ship with Google Services (and Huawei won't let you unlock the bootloader and install a custom OS). Also just saw that you ship to the UK in your store - fantastic! If I actually needed a new phone, I'd probably snap up this P30 Pro in an instant.

Nice work, Hugh. Another phone saved from the E-waste again. 😄😄

You make fixing phones look so easy bro.

Can't believe that the phone's actually sold out now😅

amazing restoration, you taught me how to repair stuff the right way and im forever grateful for that. might try out some huawei repairs ;p

3:47 Dang, that advertisment is so smooth lol. Nice video again, Hugh! Always waiting for your new videos every Sunday! Watching you since 2016!

"and we done" love that word

Nice repair as always, what a satisfaction to put a phone back in order.

Hi Hugh! Huge fan of your repair videos! Hope that your store can ship to the Philippines very soon. 🙏🏻

3:54 But Hugh I thought you just said the screws weren't magnetic, not sure a magnetic part mat would help too much 😅

Beautiful, absolutely great work 👍

You mention that the screws are non-magnetic, then go on to state that a magnetic mat would have helped the previous person keep the screws organized. LOL

You make fixing phones look as easy as smashing England at the Gabba.

I have done a screen only repair on one of these. My sister currently uses it. Trust me you saved yourself a lot of time. The earpiece speaker is glued to the back of the screen...

Well done. I certainly agree that it's a very attractive device.

Satisfying to watch as always

1) acrylic adhesive strip you were using lasts about 2weeks, than it'll come out. Liquid "always sticky" glue like E8000, B7000, T8000 etc. are doing they job much longer and safer. The reason prev repairman was leaving original adhesive in place is its thickness (you won't get right 0.1mil thickness tolerance with a strip you were using). 2) improper heatsink material used. You were using regular thermal paste for like CPU cooler and others, it's not applicable here. The original material used is called "liquid thermal pad" or "liquid-dispense thermal transferring gap fillers". It works with constant thermal conductivity wherever gap thickness is changed and it won't ever get dry (like a paste). It's rather expensive compared to thermal paste and it has gap thickness "freeplay" about 0.875mm. Some blue residue you were found in the case is this material.

High quality tutorial. Thank you

I honestly love the blue and black look.

I had the p30 pro for 2 years. Such a great phone and camera.

amazing work 👌🏼 💯

That was a great repair Hugh, thank you for the video

Another excellent review! God bless!

Nice job dude!

This was a nice job and I would totally buy that phone. Ingesting but I love my phones as pristine condition and I’m sad when it’s worn. I’m very annoyed about my own scratches. But saving something like this for a bargain money and restoring to significantly better condition makes Me happy and I can tolerate a few scratches at the end. Knowing I saved a phone from the bin.

Love the colour too

Such a nice looking phone!

I really love the color of that phone! It's very bright and loud compared to others like it. Kudos to Huawei for their color choices.

Always waiting for the "So this is it" at the end xD

I would love to see glass only repairs. For example on Apple Watches. Thanks for the Video.

i gotta give this guy credit, when i work on a phone, or tablet, i never track screws, and i get fed up in 10 minutes, getting angrier the more time it takes, until i hastily put it back together 'ish

Its so great to know all your vedio!...💯👍

Nice video clip, keep it up , thank you for sharing :)

Nice work,man.If you happen to ever fix a Rog Phone here is what i found doing mine. If you charge it and a red light and then a few moments it goes away it only charge 1% on non original charges. Replacement screens can be bought with frame or without frame(frames is easier to do),I got them from aliexpress just know you may get some with small scratches. And something that it does after restoring to factory settings is that the last known email remains but can still be bypass(I did it to my rog phone 2). Also or those who goes to a repair shop that specializes in Rog phones,take photos of your replacement screen (had 2 scratches and get one without)if sometime later it breaks.

I had a cracked P30. Now I can finally replace the screen with this detailed tutorial

Happier were those when RU-vid used to throw just one advt before beginning.

3:45 Shilling for a magnetic mat to not lose screws almost directly after declaring the screws in said phone non-magnetic sounds kinda stupid. Other than that, great video as always

Very nice mate

hello hugh love your video from philippines

Just how do you keep remembering the order to reassemble the phones xD gg man

Good job bro💪❤

Good work Hugh :D i do repair old and new phones, but more are old.. like Samsung Trend Lite, Trend Plus, Ace 4, Ace 3, etc. Also i am fixing software problems.

vous être trop génial un professionnalisme a tout épreuve bravo

i just checked store. its great

I have a broken p30 pro with that color, I think it would look so much better with a black frame but blue everything else. It looks really cool

Still use this device and the size and battery life are great.

wow! Nice work! I wish i could send you mine for repairs. Got fixed with a low-quality display, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work, and touch sensitivity is a nightmare.

Nice work, Hugh. I wrapped up a repair on a Mate 20 Pro this weekend. I see lots of similarities here, although the Mate carried more parts to keep track off at the top for the secure face unlock. Just sucks to see Huawei as a shell of itself now, as competition pushes innovation.

Awesome, i think its more ethical to always recommend Service Pack instead of the cheap aftermarket, a question on re-application of thermal paste on copper heat sink, is computer heat sink okay? or will it work if thermal paste is not applied?

Cool vid!!

my daily driver❤️

After seeing that you fix the back cover with double-sided tape, I tried to do the same thing, but I found out that it doesn't stick very well, so I need to ask if you can recommend me a particular type or brand of double-sided tape for that kind of work. Thanks!

I have this phone and it's very interesting to see how the internals look like

I wish you all the best

I pronounce you, the king of repair…

Hey Hugh, can you make a phone from scratch made entirely of spare parts? That would be awesome

You just play with phones like with Lego's. Amazing!

Huawei and honor make some of the Beautiful phones in the industry And this P30 is not exception The White and green look very Beautiful

Perfect Huawei P30 restotation

Nobody: Hugh: somebody made a smoothie out of this iPhone XS, let’s see if we can fix it!

Hi Hugh, was wondering why are you not applying a tempered glass protector on the devices anymore...??

Good thing i found this video, because i'm going to change the screen on my sisters p30 pro

Another phone saved from going to landfill 👏 still wondering if you have gotten around that p20 pro you attempted to repair before 🤔

Hi Love your videos

Big fan bro love you from Pakistan ❤️

looks amazing i could really use a new phone mine is still from 2015 x3

I literally got an ad before this saying practically this: "Smartphone broken or slow? Buy a new one!"

I see you applied the perfect amount of thermal paste.......oh, wrong channel! ;-)

Huge fan of your quality of work....i have only request or rather i can say Question..will the store will ship to india🇮🇳....in future?? -thank you

yeah ,had similar with s20 FE ,changing screen or glass is a bit of nightmare and not worth it ,luckily service set is only around $120

Honestly I found the mismatched colored frame and backglass cool, black and blue.

The cool thing about this phone is that it is scheduled to receive Harmony OS someday so its not a bad phone to still invest in these days.

From where did you buy the service pack ? I need one for my phone and is the display as good as the original ?

Like watching a heart surgery, awesome job.

So this is it❤

The green gunk looks like Rodico putty, which watchmakers use to clean internals

The mich match sim tray and back panel looked cool smh

Hauwei sure knows how to make a decent phone, it's sad that them and other companies in China have to contend with the consequences of their government. I would be worried about using this phone not because I don't like Hauwei but because their government can make choices that are forced upon them. I think Hauwei really should've been in the top 3, hopefully one day things will be a little bit less authoritarian and we all will be friends once again.

Bought one when it came out and still have it. Last huawei with google services,and honestly still works surprisingly great. Battery, camera, speed... Believe it or not same as first day

Hey Hugh, if the screws are non ferrous, would a magnetic mat actually help?

How exactly would an iFixit magnetic mat help the previous technician not lose the screws if they're not magnetic? o_O Silly Hugh.

I wonder whether you have seen a p smart come up on ebay. Would really like to see how it can be repaired incase I need to replace my screen one day (if I still have this phone) mines a 2019 p smart

Awesome!!!!

That battery looks massive

It’s a hard oled display, and on top of that, the technician left the protective film at the back of the screen, that probably put too much stress on the panel (5:17 the blue film you can see)

It is nice that Huawei is selling service packs for their phones (Or some) as I dont think others are going that. I say while looking at Apple and possible Samsung

Hi Hugh, I have had my P30 pro with Google for a number of years. Love it and it is reliable. The back has cracked due to a fall and I would like to replace it. Do you think this is easy to do and where do you suggest that I buy this from? Huawei are chraging a lot. Thank you.

I love this phone intact I'm watching this on my Huawei p30 pro

The replacement display has a screen protector installed under the protector film.

Why it comes with pre-installed battery?

hey i'm not sure if it was one of your videos that you had a bunch of Imac ram covers i was just wondering if you had one that would fit a 27inch Imac and would you sell it

Great video Jeff 👏 The inside of the iPhone looks much more managed. Looks somehow cheap on most Samsungs Huawei lg etc

I just got a broken p30 pro yesterday to work on today lmao

Pretty sure that green gunk is blu-tack.

Hey Hugh, i have a serious question. When you repair a phone like this, does the screen have to have adhesive or not? I didnt see you apply any, and when i repaired 2 phones of my own, i couldnt find any adhesive for the display online anywhere. Should it be held by any glue, or does it just stay on its own?

4.15 is probably corrosion as i have seen it many time before on various of metal

With each ribbon cable disconnected I keep hearing "like a little Lego" in my head 🙈

This phone was awesome for its time.
