      I'm going to fix my Pixel 5 myself. I'd rather not pay the $300 at the closest phone repair place. Because of you, I know how to fix it for way less than that!

    Good for you bud. I dont fix phones but i fix cars. Got my first truck at 16, headlight housings were super oxidized so i threw on a video on how to change the housings and grille emblem cuz it was super faded and went on from there. Now im a certified technician at a toyota dealership.

      That’s crazy man! Almost the same path I’m on right now, I was 16 and didn’t like my truck headlights so i changed them, which lead me down the rabbit hole of buying aftermarket parts. Made me realize how much I loved them, now I’m going to school for automotive management! I love how others have this common passion for repair.

    I got into tech when I was 8 and I broke my iPod touch 4 screen. I also bought a screen off eBay and did the repair myself and also did my mothers iPod touch 4 screen. Then I started building PC’s when I was 11. 6 years later I’ve built many PC’s and spent a total of 16k on tech. Most recently 5.5k of that was on a ASIC for bitcoin mining and I’m making good money on that

    I don't usually fix phones, but I was like 11 when my old Samsung Galaxy Core( I still keep that phone) broke so I tried to remove screen glass and broke it even more and ended up breaking digitizer. Eventually my dad yelled at me (then I ended up replacing the screen for 35 bucks lol).

  • @Benjamin_Stuart
    @Benjamin_Stuart 2 роки тому +4

    Dude! Same thing happened to me! I broke my iPhone 7 screen and selfie camera and figured I’d save some money so I bought a screen and selfie cam from Amazon to fix it myself. The screen I bought turned out to be defective and I ended up fixing the selfie cam but breaking the home button. After that I decided to just get a new phone (iPhone se 2nd gen) because the 7 battery life was terrible and it constantly overheated. I haven’t fixed anyone’s phone yet but I have done a ps4 repair.

    I’m currently on the beginning of the path. My friend has an iPhone 6 that is no longer turning on, but he has gotten a new phone since then so I’m going to give it to my sister. I removed the battery and accidentally broke the connection but I plugged it in and the lcd lit up, there was an apple logo and some lines (there was no signal at all before opening the phone, it only gave power after I removed the battery and tinkered with the screen a bit). I uploaded 2 shorts on it so y’all can see but I might do fixing phones 4 cheep as a side hustle at some point

    When i was 11 years old i broke my samsung galaxy a10 lcd, the screen turns black. I don't have enough money to go to the repair shop, so i realize what if i repair my own phone, because of that im not going to spend a lot of money, than spending 800 pesos in the repair shop. That day i buy some of my phone's lcd for only 200 pesos, after 2 days my phone's lcd finally came, for only 6 minutes im done changing my phone's lcd, and my phone works very well😊😊😊

    I love this. I actually broke my 6 also, used a water damaged iPhone screen by accident in 2016 (long story), messed up the whole phone. Took it to a repair shop, & they told me for a first timer I did good screen swapwise. Told me to not give up and try again, so I did. I can fix all iphones now but want to learn other phones and laptops now as well!

    my story is similar. just replaced the battery in my iPhone 6s, and my friend told me her phone battery health was at 65% and I told her I would fix it for her. about to do it soon if she orders the battery, but this semester is almost over so theres not much time left so I'm hoping she ordered the battery already.

    I started with an iphone SE. I was 14 also, and the charging port died... I ordered one replacement, and some tools too. When I opened the phone, I broke the touch id flex... So I ordered one also... When I've changed everything, the phone worked (not the touch id, but the home bottom). Then, the phone accidentally fall, and the screen died... So I whent back to my lovely iphone 6... Now, I have android couse I hate apple... XD

    It's Me? or teachers always get angry when students start a “business” (legal business) at school and always push them away from it. If they see that students can do substantial work for the future with it, why don't they ever help? They seem to only stick to math and history books from 20 years ago. only getting into Chromebooks due to the pandemic.
