Seller gave me the passcode to the 5s and I was able to turn off Find My iPhone, so the phone can be fully repaired and then I can sell it :)
I saw that on Instagram :)

With that whole thing you talked about used batteries being sold as new, I ran into this total scam just yesterday. I bought a "new" battery for a Motorola Droid turbo 2 on Amazon. It was one of the ones you said with a sticker on it. The battery was completely dead and didn't work at all. I decided to peel the sticker off and underneath was a motorola logo and a big "x" on it. This makes me think it was a genuine battery taken out of a phone which they knew was bad and then sold it to me as new.
Yo, I ordered a battery off amazon for a Dell laptop and it still isn't powering on due to a battery error code. I'll have to check it when I get home!!
Don’t ever buy batteries from Amazon.

Top result. I am so happy to see you get these devices running again. I hate waste. I really do. So seeing your work makes me happy and the landfill does not get this tech. Excellent work!
My fav iPhone to fix was (and is still) the 6 and 6s models. They were the quickest and easiest phones by Apple to make repairs on. Man, I miss those days😉
That's why people say....
"Old is gold" 😂💪❤️

Always love your videos Hugh!!!
Glad we're back to iPhones, old ones as well, feels like old times😀
:D
I believe he does newer phones to keep his skillset sharp for the future..But yeah I agree
He sold his entire collection and he doesn’t collect anymore, he just complains nowadays sadly. I miss old Hugh.
@@tabbycat406 dude you are dense as hell
@@tabbycat406 where did you get that info?
How do people just throw away gold plated phones? Just frame it or something lol.
You'd be surprised how many people are just too lazy/don't care when it comes to the things they buy
Gold plating a phone is actually surprisingly cheap
@@advin6159 how cheap do you think? very curious :)
@@frootloot6789 Assuming it's just a phone, you can probably get away with a thin layer of gold in order to get that sort of color shown in the video. So, to do something like this, it would cost ~$50 at the least.

When I first started doing iPhone repairs like 5 years ago, somebody asked me to do a 14k gold back housing swap on a 6s. Looked just like that one. I was so scared to do it 😂, but I quoted him a pricey cost for it. Think I charged him like $250 and he provided the part.
Defiantly my favorite series on your channel 👍.
This dude literally speaks like he is demonstrating how do fix these phones. Well I'm a overweight discord mod and I doubt my fat fingers can hold thr tiny parts.
@Tobin Redekop same to you lol

Best repair channel ever
The problem with the home and sleep button of the gold iphone has to do with pry damage between the battery and motherboard caused most likely by the previous owner trying to get out the battery with a tool because the pull sticker breaks easily. I know this because I have had done this exact thing once causing me to have these buttons not working (always pressing). When looking on the motherboard next to the battery with a microscope you should be able to see missing electrical components that are responsible for the sleep/home button function.
Good job - that was a nice find! I look forward to more videos about some of the other devices that need fixing/repairing! :)

You should use some metal polish or something similar for the back as it looks pretty scratched up.
Another great video by Hugh Jeffreys.
"Hi guys n welcome back to another Hugh Jeffreys video, in this video we're going to be taking a look at..." Best intro
You made my day you earned a sub
Hi Hugh, great video as always. Your videos have inspired me to start repairing phones for friends and family and I was recently thinking of turning this into a full fledged business. Any tips?
start with like super low prices (maybe like 10 an hour) build a reputation and go higher after. Also make sure to do a proper job and if possible educate yourself to do actual repairs such as chip replacements and not just parts replacements. Also try and get a source for bulk parts.
And please use quality parts/tools and take care. I paid a newer repair person $100 to repair my old Xperia, and while he managed to source genuine original parts, he used cheap glue (both parts are now falling off) and the camera and earspeaker are now dead. Really got me put off repairing phones.
@@ThatTonybo most big places also do that they get people to do it as cheap as possible and buy the cheapest parts possible to save time.

Great job and video like always
The ipod nano with the weird screen is a display issue, dankpods made a video about it where he dropped and ipod (I think it was a 4th gen classic) and the same thing happened
i would love to be able to own the purple iphone you customed, i love watching your videos. they help me repair iphones
every saturday im like oh yeah a new hugh video lets goo!
...?
You are so entertaining. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Please do a video on the 3rd gen iPod nano! I would also love to see more videos on iPhone 4 and 4s along with older iPod Touches!
Great job again
Awesome hugh
Hugh, use the gold frame and put the guts of a SE in it. It will be useful as the SE is still currently supported.
An SE is essentially a better iPhone 6 in an iPhone 5.

@@superpacman256 I know, thats why I suggested he put the guts of an SE in the Gold frame. or now that he has managed to get the 5s working, he can put the guts of that in it instead.
this guy is like a microsurgeon. i love watching its so freaking relaxin.
08:28 scared me given what dodgy bulging lithium cells/batteries do
This is one of the most beautiful iphone when I saw it back in 2017.
Haha I had that gold iphone 5 and 6 in my watch list on eBay for years but they cost way too much 😂 nice scoop 👌👌🙏
Not that one in particular.
I once got a huge lot of iPhones and got 2 custom phones. One was a blue 6S+ and had a black dot on the screen, iCloud locked, and poorly fixed phone with missing screws. The other was just the housing, but was in better condition. It was a 6S+ housing made to look like a 7+
Good catch
Try to polish that gold frame, i think you can make it look really good

Hi @Hugh Jeffreys I always enjoy your videos. I would like to buy electronics like you do and fix them since it is also a passion of mine. But I am having a hard time finding lots of devices like you do. Could you please tell me which website you use? And how you search for these lots? Thank you
I would check eBay and set the filter for like under $50 or something. You don’t have to do that but that’s usually what I do. You can find some great stuff on there.
Good luck!
I would love to see a dedicated video on that ipod nano.
The fact you managed to get a gold plated iPhone in your lot is just, wow! That thing put the worth of that lot way up given the actual price of gold on the markets today.
Keep up the good work Hugh . 1 question what have you found as a good stand-off screw driver ? .I’ve been doing iPhones since iphone 3 . Stand off screws are a pain . Cheers
the ifixit minnow kit comes with a standoff screw bit
Wish i had so much money i could throw away a gold plated iPhone.
I wish I had enough to throw away any iPhone!
@@2048Megabytes. heh, i got an icloud locked iphone, i thought about destroying it... (its an iphone 4)

Hi do you think it is worthwhile getting an Ipad Mini 2 repaired? (with all the missed security updates is it worthwhile?)
Thanks
Chris
That battery went FLYING across the room!
This is your best vid i think
Interested in the country model for the iPhone 5 as the box is much larger than the US or U.K. variant
HI Hugh to fix the button problems disconnect the buttons then plug the phone in to turn it on then turn assistive touch then enjoy
Would like to see the 3G being repaired
Ye
Can you make this a iphone SE? Touch id would look so much better with the gold frame
nice score!
My old iPhone 5s's screen is coming away exactly like the one you had. It will only hold a charge for about 10 hours, though that is enough for the photography apps I use it for. I keep saying it’s going to be the first mobile I take apart but I’ve not been brave enough yet.
Loved that gold phone!
This video is the literal embodiment of ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’
Did you sell this gold iPhone 5? I am interested in it or possible build one for myself. I’m a fan of that throwback look. I have built an original iPhone 1 and I’m still working on a 3g. I put some modern parts and done some custom work to fit newer components to the iPhone 1 to allow it to run on iOS 14. It’s a cool phone and runs like a new iPhone. I want this phone if it’s still available. Let me know.
9:32 the song is Beat Your Competition by Vibe Tracks
This is my favorits video from you
Years ago the company that owned Suncoast movies and Musicland stores did a test concept store (20 total locations) that would "paint" your phone any color you wanted including car brand specific colors among other items such as DVD/CD on demand -- producing DVDs of shows/movies that were low priority, damaged, or out of print, custom screen printing of clothing, reprinting thousands of movie/concert posters and other niche items all with the authority of the product owners.
Sadly Suncoast didn't continue it in spite of the massive success of those locations
its like putting C-3PO back together
Its amazing how big the iPhone 5 box was.
Hugh, what happens to all the older models of iphones and ipods do you sell them
The BGM is so addictive
Nice bro
I wish I could see what you are doing I am blind but I like the way you describe what’s going on I have a iPhone 7 Plus that everything is in good condition the only thing is that the earpiece in the microphone does not work or the speaker does not work I believe and the battery doesn’t work either I wish I had somebody around here in California as great as you to fix it LOL
Good job
Do a repair video on the Ipod nano 3.
It looks so much better with the black borders on the display instead of the golden ones
Who else is binge watching a single channel? Even N Z is in lockdown
I started watching this 10 seconds after it was posted
For $50 this is such a steal
My mum had a 5S. Fell in water 4 times and still went strong. Then the battery expanded when she got a new phone finally, and it ended up cracking the top screen in half. Scary.
It was sad to see all of these phones be in bad condition especially for me the 5s to see it in that condition because my first phone was a silver 5s
can u put new iphone se stuff into that gold frame? would be a lot better imo
sorry if it sounds dumb idk much about it but would be good if such a valuable phone is more than just a showpiece :)
After battery replacement the sound and touch id doesn't work, only vibration. What possible the problem? 😵🤔
Hey Hugh I fixed the charging port and reinstalled a new iOS but there is a activation lock on iOS 12.5.4 I bought a iPhone 5s and it has a activation lock do you know any way to get pat it thanks -Mrdirt
Also, I really like that gold 4(S)
Where do you buy these phones at? Like where do you buy them individually and where do you buy them in lotts? I ask because I'm interested in doing what you do. Fix and resell.
Amazon?
I got an iPhone 5, in 2020, which had a poor quality screen where the touch had broken, and the original battery was totally degraded. I replaced these parts (I'm not a professional) and I had this same problem with the buttons not working, and I just never found out why. It also goes into recovery mode when plugged in by the cable, but it works on the system normally, so I just keep it in the box (which is the original one) in case you ever discover the problem, please post a video about it, i still have hope for this phone
Components have been knocked off the board. You'll need to have it soldered.
@@tsuyunobradley4439 yeah, discovered this last week LMAO my fault
You should sent that iOS 7.0.4 board to Rico and see what he can do
i have 2 galaxy s8 plus that i tried to repair it and i failed, now i need a new screen i think, do you do repairs or have a shop somewhere? thanks - ill check ur site
I want to see a iPod classic restoration that would be cool
Were do you buy these. I want to start a journey like yours. Guide me.
Where do you purchase these phones?
Will you be keeping the 2 iPhone 3GS because I am trying to do something a bit like you if your interested in getting rid off them I may buy them from you
Any idea where to get the LCD ribbon connector for the ipod 1-5?
Can you please start shipping outside AU? I would love to buy some stuff from your store.
I ship to AU, NZ, CA and the US
Not uk though :(
Beautiful
Hugh I seriously love that you know phone cases belong in the garbage. 😂
How do you connect the owners to get them to remove I cloud is it only the ones who are the original owners and can I ask what software you use to check if the phones locked on the pc
where do you get your phone lots?
It’s funny how Hugh used the ‘Another one bites the dust’ instrumental 😂
Hugh you just got a shoutout from Louis Rossmann the man him self 👌🏼
(his video on Samsung bootliader disabling the camera)
Man, you so lucky.
Hi Hugh! I just bought a broken, won’t turn on, iPod Classic 5th gen 30 GB on eBay for $20 USD ($27.35 AUD). Good deal?
