I feel like this is any tech type person that's been around for more than 10 years. SO MUCH experience that may or may not (but mostly not) apply to any given situation. But then one time you pull that one golden nugget of info....
It's such a strange feeling seeing how this is so hyped up in the video, but this is every week for me as a mobile device and computer repair technician in a small business, where I'm the only technician. I felt every feeling that Dan did as he wrestled with that phone, and the satisfaction felt in seeing the work successfully completed.
I felt the same way too, like it's really hard to break a phone's storage like they describe it. But kudos to them! They were able to get the footage out! And it also looks like the phone had multiple other issues too (charging issue??) so it's a big deal from their viewpoint.
The amount of adhesive use in today's electronics is absolutely a chore. And some are in such precise arangements, not like you can just whack some on the edges, and preapplied adhesive kits can be rare for not-of-this-year phones. I have a back for an S10e ready to go but i've been putting it off since i just do not want to.
@@Cosmitzian I have swapped out a S10e's battery and rear cover just last week. it's not a difficult one. iPhone Back's are the worst.... they are UV Glue'd i think. it's nearly impossible. I usually just swap the whole rear assembly.
In September, I went swimming off the coast of Anguilla with my S22 Ultra. Got a ton of great footage. Later that night, the charge port gave me the "water detected" error when plugging my phone in. It was basically puking salt and sand. It may have even had a crab living in it. I didn't have access to a wireless charger. But I did have a full bottle of rubbing alcohol. I doused the entire phone, paying special attention to the charge port. By morning, it charged like normal. However, the S pen refused to work; for 3 weeks. Assuming I had killed my pen, after 3 weeks or so, it randomly started working again like nothing ever happened. Entire phone has been fine since the first week of October. It's just a phone and it's only money. Phones can be replaced and more money can always be made. Life's too short to worry about things that won't matter in a year - or ten. Great video, btw 👍
Regarding the heating gel thing that you mentioned you didn't heat enough, you could've used the bed of one of the 3D printers from logistics. They're great at keeping a precise temp and you can just plop the phone face down there (just don't heat it too high).
Seeing Dan's ability on camera progress at such an insane rate is crazy. He's not in alot of videos but each time I see one it's like he's never stopped hosting for even a week.
@HorizonMakes yes. But I wouldn't call that being "on camera" they only turn his on now and then for brief moments, and it's just a webcam But he's clearly a natural being on actual video. Imo, I think being more closely focused on radio like performances such as the WAN, can make translating to video tough for some
Omg it's amazing to see how Dan's gone from being kinda timid on camera to naturally relegating Linus to assistant host right here. We need more Dan! He's The Man! Edit: Just finished the video, and eyyy congrats on getting it all (mostly) working 🎉
I love how quick witted Dan is. Oddly enough he's a clone to a Dan I used to work with, in both appearance and personality. A chuckle every time he's on screen.
A very easy way to soften the adhesive evenly is to use your 3D printer. You just put the phone on, turn on the heated bed for half an hour and your phone is ready to be disassembled.
14:56 That extreme joy when the phone booted up is really a great feeling, I've also had it a few times when fixing little complex devices a few years ago. Nice that you got it working again!
As a Samsung repair tech, when he broke the Sub UB at 9:42 I felt that. Even using the tools that Samsung provide it is next to impossible to remove from the enclosure
Haha, agreed. When they were trying to power on the phone I was yelling "plug it in!" at my screen. I've had way too many cases where I've scared myself thinking I somehow damaged the main PBA before the screen magically displays once I plug it into power.
Dan is a great host for these "slower" paced, more focused content! I can listen to him talk for hours lol Edit: Also for opening screens, what you really want is a heat plate. Those iFixit kits are good for at home fixer ups (I guess that's why they used it so it's more like "you can do this too!"), but heat plates distributes heat wayyyy more evenly and imo is easier to use
Always prefered a heatgun over heat plates due to speed and flexibility. If Ive got the time ill use the oven: it will loosen up the battery as well =) But yeah, heat plates are way better than those kits for sure
can confirm. tried to replace a surface and ipad battery and thanks to the heated bed on my 3d printer and some alcohol around the screen it went successfully.
As someone who used to do phone repair at a Samsung repair center, using a metal shim helps a lot with pulling off that screen without shattering it, the ifixit picks are too thicc for the gap in most cases. Well done and love the video!
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M in personal experience, not often through regular use. I saw it somewhat common with old iPhones (6-8) and a more often in older Samsung's (7-10), and a lot in water damaged devices. BUT most if not all devices will eventually as batteries degrade over time. So age is a factor.
agreed, he also needed waaaay more heat to get that front screen off on the donor phone, but tbf he did say that afterwards. Those Ifixit gel things are pretty useless IME, a proper heating pad that he could have left the phone on for a while (or even just using a heat gun) would have been optimal but obviously I understand why everything wasn't exactly "optimal" in this video haha. Those front screens do usually come off pretty easily as long as you have the right tools. Love Dan and it was very entertaining to watch. I definitely can relate to that instant negative emotion when you break something that's working, even if you don't "need" it...Very frustrating haha.
Seeing a master hobby hacker like Dan breaking a screen is so validating. I've broken so many screens trying to soften glue. It's such an art fixing phones. And Dan's commentary is always top notch as usual!
Seriously. I have an old Moto Z I'm trying to keep alive for it's projector and 360 camera mods that had a bulging battery, thought I could get away with just doing the battery. Cracked the screen as I was trying to cut the adhesive...
@@25566 i actually dont have a hair dryer xD but i heard 3D printer beds are a valid option too... wait I have a cheapo hotair solder station that could work?
@@DiverseGreen-Anon Hot air solder station should work as long as you lift little parts of the screen at a time, since it can't heat evenly like a hotplate can.
Did this exact fix today at work, work at a Ubreakifix repair shop. For those wondering, a inner screen + labor on this is typically a $600 repair, so he got it done for much less getting a donor and using a friend. Nice work on the repair! An opening pick is typically preferred for disconnecting flex connectors but overall very well done. Also using about 75 C of heat for 10 minutes makes that outer screen and daughterboard easier to remove. Loosens the adhesives.
It's just 5 minutes at 72c for the top heating plate and 64c on the bottom heating plate then you use suction and cut the adhesive once it lifts. It looks like their main ub and main side of the phone was fine. I think all that needed to be replaced was the sub ub, sub pba and the battery. It would definitely something you would troubleshoot and replace only the affected components
As someone who fixes phones as a hobby (side quests), the feeling you get when a phone works again is exactly how Dan and Linus reacted, every single time!
Overall this is one of my favorite LTT videos in a WHILE... Dan is such an entertainer.. I Love that you all leave him unedited. Then to finish it off... probably one of my favorite sponsor messages to date.
Dan, we all have faith in you. Even if you don't recommend we do. In the worst cases we have your humor to fall back on. In the best cases, you're so good at everyone else's job they keep you from doing you're own. 10/10
15:05 that was a genuine expression from both of you. A sincerely excited hug too. That, without any editing, makes a great thumbnail for a video. Something real. Also, congrats! It’s a great feeling to see a dearly departed device come back, from your (friend’s) surgery
@04:49 "It was sitting in a Hot Pocket" -- thank you for the unintentionally weird mental image, Linus. Electronics do not belong in microwave junk food.
That sponsor segment at the end was golden. Good job Denis. Not only I didn't skip, I enjoyed. Will definitely buy their backpack now. They have better ads then LTT
10:25 If I recall correctly, the water damage indicator is even simpler than that. It's 2 pieces of paper glued together, one with dye and one regular blank white on top. When the indicator gets wet, the dye from the bottom piece of paper bleeds through the white one.
@@Kitulous if one of the cells is undervolted, no chance. The bms will disable the cell And more likely there is a protection if one of the batteries is 0.5-1v off the other it wont charge to prevent heat up and fire if the cell is damaged.
Dan, your tremendously talented and we would all love to see more of you on future videos. As far as I'm concerned, having someone like Dan on the team is priceless. Good Job dude
i don't ,know what i like more, the intro, the segwei, the actual sponser spot, or the suspense leading to the celbration @ 14:56... it kept getting better and better. in general i watch/enjoy almost all ltt content but this one was OP! GGHF fam!
As a guy whose literal day job if fixing phones, this was nowhere near as painful as I was expecting, I'd hire Dan! Good to see him in something other than the WAN show and the rare short circuit.
I wanna put out appreciation for Dennis's ad spot at the end of the video being VERY worth watching. It gives me Donut Media vibes and I'm loving it, cause if you're gonna have sponsor segments, then you may as well make em worth watching
@@handlemonium Haha, it was just one of those days. I repair electronics, had this happen a couple times. Its always the broken display that comes off perfectly and the good one always breaks. It's the way of the universe.
That collective cheer when it works....so relatable to anyone who has gone in slightly over their heads over a electronic repair and made it work. I wish I could have got to share that excitement with someone, but all my successful repairs so fair have happened alone at 2am lmao. Maybe one day
Okay, linus getting one-upped by his own abstract thought processes is just... pure gold. And the globe in the background exploding was great too. Someone should get a bonus for that.
might be one of the most creative ways to get to their sponsorship that I've seen in a long time. Short of the april fools joke video that was just one long sponsorship ad.
Loved the sponsor segment, think it's one of the best ones yet. The luggage is too expensive for me at the moment but it's definitely one I'll be considering to buy in the future.
Linus your video are banging as ever. I'm glad to see you guys are still knocking it out of the park. but the water in my computer seems to vanish overtime and I don't know how did you provide an answer??
I’m not Linus, but I do know it can’t just be “vanishing.” If you don’t see any signs of actual leaks, I’d presume it’s evaporating. That’s probably not actually much better for the components, water vapor in the air is gonna corrode things. How to fix it though I honestly can’t say. I will say though that stuff like this is why I’ve always avoided water cooling. lol
Since the USB-C connector was submerged in salt water, there might be some corrosion on the connectors. So you either could change the board from the other phone, or since you don't have anything to lose give it a very good brushing with a good old and hard ESD safe brush. Those brushes are like magic when phones decide to be... special... on USB connections, at least in my experience.
doesn't explain the wireless charger not working though (I wouldn't think)... also the phone was turned on by plugging a charger into USB port so I guess it's at least partially working... not saying you are wrong just some considerations
My mom has sent it to the "professionals" (an official repair shop, according to the carrier) when her screen randomly cracked after a few months of use and after a week she got it back with 3 additional dents (probably some idiot have dropped it) and a 800€ bill for still in warranty screen replacement. So yeah I would probably go with an uncle who knows stuff next time.
16:15 Yeah when you put a new sim in, first time you turn the phone off it asks you for the pin, so it won't have to ask you every time you turn the phone on. If you don't input the pin in that prompt, the phone will ask it at every boot. After that you'll have to go to settings and disable "ask pin every startup", and it will ask your pin as a confirmation, of course.
I loved this video, it was really funny when Linus had to leave, or when Dan broke the screen, but the reaction when the phone actually turned on the excitement is so good
Clean the tarnished contacts and anything that is corroded with white vinegar on a cotton tip, then clean up afterwards with alcohol, this is a must but so simple to do!

@@handlemonium Haha, it was just one of those days. I repair electronics, had this happen a couple times. Its always the broken display that comes off perfectly and the good one always breaks. It's the way of the universe.
i agree
This is probably one of the first times I've fully watched a sponsor spot, awesome work lmg and the ridge
best feeling ever when you can finally retrieve that data for someone and thier memories are saved.
People who fix phones are something else, it's like they've deliberately made them as frustrating in construction as possible.
That collective cheer when it works....so relatable to anyone who has gone in slightly over their heads over a electronic repair and made it work. I wish I could have got to share that excitement with someone, but all my successful repairs so fair have happened alone at 2am lmao. Maybe one day
Dan's quiet chaos is an excellent contrast to Linus's regular chaos.
Dennis chaos is on a whole different level though.
Love Dan, he's my favorite host. His personality is infectious!
Okay, linus getting one-upped by his own abstract thought processes is just... pure gold. And the globe in the background exploding was great too. Someone should get a bonus for that.
might be one of the most creative ways to get to their sponsorship that I've seen in a long time. Short of the april fools joke video that was just one long sponsorship ad.
Just quietly listening to Dan narrate as he disassembles the phone was so soothing.
Dan needs more screen time. He's absolutely awesome!
i agree
Loved the sponsor segment, think it's one of the best ones yet. The luggage is too expensive for me at the moment but it's definitely one I'll be considering to buy in the future.
dont know if Linus created the LTT company to fix his problems, or the company that generates problems for him in every new video, the boy is a magnet
Linus your video are banging as ever. I'm glad to see you guys are still knocking it out of the park. but the water in my computer seems to vanish overtime and I don't know how did you provide an answer??
I’m not Linus, but I do know it can’t just be “vanishing.” If you don’t see any signs of actual leaks, I’d presume it’s evaporating. That’s probably not actually much better for the components, water vapor in the air is gonna corrode things. How to fix it though I honestly can’t say. I will say though that stuff like this is why I’ve always avoided water cooling. lol
It just wants to be part of something bigger and wants to become a rain cloud.
You may have a tiny leak. Try adding a few drops of a UV reactive additive and then poking around with a black light in a week or so
Love seeing the Dennis style’d segways. They are always so good. Also good job on fixing the phone Dan. Repairs and deconstruction aren’t always easy.
"we're promoting someone else's backpa(CUT)?" absolute gold. Loved that.
Love this kind of vids, this is how a lot of tech enthusiasts are born, trying to fix your own stuff!
Love this video. The poking around the phone, investigating it all & Dan being in the video was great fun.
Since the USB-C connector was submerged in salt water, there might be some corrosion on the connectors. So you either could change the board from the other phone, or since you don't have anything to lose give it a very good brushing with a good old and hard ESD safe brush. Those brushes are like magic when phones decide to be... special... on USB connections, at least in my experience.
doesn't explain the wireless charger not working though (I wouldn't think)... also the phone was turned on by plugging a charger into USB port so I guess it's at least partially working... not saying you are wrong just some considerations
That "The Ridge" ad after the intro was epic, basically the first time I've not had the urge to skip it XD
"am I helping?" *pushing the battery*
"Yeah, I mean... We have insurance" 😂😂😂😂
My mom has sent it to the "professionals" (an official repair shop, according to the carrier) when her screen randomly cracked after a few months of use and after a week she got it back with 3 additional dents (probably some idiot have dropped it) and a 800€ bill for still in warranty screen replacement. So yeah I would probably go with an uncle who knows stuff next time.
Dan has such great on camera skills and dennis was born for that role
Linus looks like a kid helping out ❤
16:15 Yeah when you put a new sim in, first time you turn the phone off it asks you for the pin, so it won't have to ask you every time you turn the phone on.
If you don't input the pin in that prompt, the phone will ask it at every boot. After that you'll have to go to settings and disable "ask pin every startup", and it will ask your pin as a confirmation, of course.
Linus standing next to Dan it's hard to believe Dan is only 5'6...............
I loved this video, it was really funny when Linus had to leave, or when Dan broke the screen, but the reaction when the phone actually turned on the excitement is so good
Dan is always such a joy.
This video was genuinely so much fun to watch. Dan you are awesome
That intro is so well written and shot. “!!hey that’s my line!!”
Clean the tarnished contacts and anything that is corroded with white vinegar on a cotton tip, then clean up afterwards with alcohol, this is a must but so simple to do!
Enjoyed this one a lot - more please! Dan repairing things is borderline ASMR/meditative somehow. Pleased that he got to keep the phone too. :)
This may be one of the top 10 LTT videos, between Dan hosting, the pacing being amazing, and the topic is engaging, this video is a masterpiece.
No you must use the LG Wing! The community has spoken!
Amazing video intro. We NEED more of Linus talking to himself from either his shoulder or a cloud like this video.
Dan is amazing, please add a nod to the "it destroys entropy". It was perfect.
