It's a jolly good job that you managed to get the phone, so that you were able to properly deal with the previous users' data. Good to see that phone get another lease of life! Also, didn't know about the offline tracking - this is why, when you receive a used device, you should always factory reset the device, once you've ensured it is working and that any remaining accounts have been signed out of.

Sometimes you’ll never know what you will find on a used phone especially if it was broken and untested.

I once had a thief steal my car, the tool used to break in was left on the street. Reported it to police, they came and had a look, wouldn't even take the tool as evidence, even after I insisted. I never heard back from the police nor ever saw my car again. Lost about 7 grand that day. Just saw my brother go through a divorce, he followed the law, did everything that was asked of him legally, but his lying wife and dirty lawyer broke a lot of rules and have come out on top much richer people, while my brother got screwed. As I am getting older, I am coming to the belief that being a honest and good citizen can backfire on you when the legal system is lousy and corrupt.

They are most likely to get off without any real consequences anyway. They didn't seem like masterminds, so may of been caught by now.

As a matter of courtesy (IF I was doing this for my mum), I would have also checked the battery health or just plain swap the battery to ensure Mum had an optimal setup/trouble free experience... After all, the phone's been opened, and it is a 6A and Lord knows what charging cycles it's had especially after a possible 2 years sitting around doing nothing... 😏

Well at least the phone is unsupported now but since it was used by criminals I would’ve contacted EBay and retuned the phone instead of fully going on with repairing it. But anyways, the video itself was interesting and I love watching your repair content as it inspires me to do it. I can’t right now due to expenses but when I get a job, I might consider it.

Not sure, must have to do with moisture in the air and the heat from the phone creating the staining. I have seen in on the iPhone 7,8 & SE models where the ear piece flex cable coils around on top of the logic board.

idk how you could test for it but it would be cool in the Itest app to test for a fake rear camera. my cheap burner phone i bought at a Walmart for work while my main one was getting a screen replacement almost certainly has a second fake camera. its a Moto G stylus (2023)
