  • Slight warning: I do swear quite a lot in this one...one word "lockdown"
    This was filmed a while back when I was still in lockdown. I needed something to do and one of my ewaste contacts said he had all of these phones that "worked fine".
    So I bought them all for $250. All 25 of them.
    Here is an hour and a half long video where it starts off good and then just gets lazy at the end. I lost the spark to finish this video as this job lot just sucks big time. Job Lot 7 and 8 are done and filmed and I was ready to scrap this completely. But, I finished it off and here it is.
    I hope you enjoy this for what it is and I promise 7 and 8 will be better.
    Be good people!

    This job lot is pretty much garbage.
    I was in lockdown during the initial filming and thus I swear like a butt cheek on a stick.
    Job Lot 7 and 8 are coming and are way better than this horrific mess.

    wHOOOOO seeing that old HTC powered up and on the home screen was SUPER nostalgic for me. My first phone was an HTC Rezound back in, like, 2011. Gave me my love of digital flip clocks. I got it taken away permanently for continuously playing Minecraft Pocket Edition Alpha in English class, LOL.

    Buying ewaste takes me back to when I worked for Corporate HP (govt section for the FSD and USCIS contracts). After releasing their tablet, it flopped and they were selling to employees first at a crazy discount. I ended up buying 30 tablets from them for 200$ Sold 20 of em for 50$ a piece, and the rest I parted out for a massive battery bank, and some other projects. Fun times.

      Oh man, I still have my Touchpad! It was my 12th birthday present. I love that thing. So cool and slick for its era. My dad somehow got his hands on two coupons that slashed the price to $70/each and he picked up two of the whopping four our local Staples had gotten in. The thing never dies; batteries in both of them are still good after 10 years and the thing had an active modding community (still might) up through Android Oreo. What I'd really like, though, is one of those 300(?)-odd Touchpad GO engineering samples that popped up online a few years ago...

    I really regret selling my Huawei years back. They have a program here (South Africa) where they regularly do common repairs on devices for a stupid cheap price. I'm not sure if they do it overseas though, so that might be an option, cause you have guaranteed quality and they can struggle to remove the glass :3
    Anyways, love the videos. Generally watch it as background while doing something else, but will occasionally look at the screen and just watch and enjoy. Thank you and keep doing it, you're awesome at it!
    edit: Clearly didn't finish the video, the battery installation seems very easy though!

    (called "Inspire" in the US) it was built like a brick and ran 2.3 out of the box.

    Nice video. I had no idea that the Xperia Z1 is that easy to open and change the battery. My dads old Xperia Z1 Compact needs a new battery. It has started to lift the display and the backside is a bit curved. Still works fine when connected to charger or it will be in reboot loop. I guess the battery is doing weird stuff and the phone wont have it.

Oreo was a killer with it being a daily. Aaaand then the screen burned in really bad. Like 5 mins on an ebay screen mid brightness and jump to discord and it would still be there lol.
