    I can only imagine how rewarding it must be to bring back to life a phone that looked so destroyed. Your skill and experience make it look straightforward, but this level of repair is not for the fainthearted, and there's always the risk that the previous repair attempts destroyed something. Hugh; the master at work!

  • @radiatamusic

    For anyone confused by the battery, it's actually two at that capacity. The fast charging technology that they use splits the battery into 2 with half of the capacity so that the phone can be charged faster. It's the same case with my Oppo find N, which charges at 35 Watts so the battery is divided for that as well.

    13:01 I just got an iPhone 12 for free from someone I know. I paid about 150€ for parts and now it looks like new again. It was the most time consuming fix I ever made with all the small parts inside the housing and those magnets that have to be individually transferred and glued down into the new housing.

  • @kacpreusz9911

    I'm pretty sure that the 2200mAh marking on the battery is per cell, since there are 2 cells and 2 markings. So the pack in total would be 4400mAh

  • @LindonSlaght

    Haha I loved that windows 98 reference skit, although it's very sad that FRP has to be a thing. I feel that even if a phone was to be stolen, FRP would do nothing anyway. I absolutely wouldn't mind if you were able to bypass FRP with the caveat that the phone must be fully reset (which is the way it was before Apple started their iCloud activation lock BS, of course it always comes back to them...)

  • @Cheeky_Goose

    I remember seeing this phone in the hands of tech reviewers and I was in love with the design. The display is way too expensive so I'd never be able to take on a project like this. But for example, I fixed a Oneplus One (made by Oppo as well) where the display was only $20 from AliExpress and it felt amazing getting that thing up and running!

    OPPO have fast become my favourite manufacturer. A recent Android updated recently killed HD and HDR streaming on Netflix on my Find X2 Pro (Widevine DRM). As it turns out, it ruins it on a hardware level. I contacted OPPO support and they replaced the entire mainboard even though the phone was out of warranty. Support even sent me photos of the repair as it was happening.

    08:23 - I think 🤔, I would have ALSO ADDED a thin smear of CPU/Thermal Paste on the copper heat transfer part, so that it ensured a good full thermal contact with the copper on the back of the screen to aid in cooling (considering that the black carbon film is missing too)... BUT other than that, bit of a mighty job for a complicated built phone, Nice work! 👍👌 😎🇬🇧

    I personally like using Oppo devices. I have been using this phone for many years now, my first smartphone was the Sony Ericsson, then got an Oppo F1. I loved the phone instantly. Then I got Oppo F2 because it was more good, then the F5 and the F9. I also got Oppo A9 2020 because it had a very very good camera quality. And it was an absolute beast for games! Now I am using the 2 newer Oppo phones, F19 and F21. When Oppo F21 was released I bought it on the 2nd day and they gave me an extremely fantastic Bluetooth speaker! For being a long-time consumer I got many gifts from them. This is why I love Oppo.
    All these aside, amazing repair job! I never knew Oppo was a bit complicated to repair. I love these kind of videos, keep it up Hugh!

    3:18 correction: The Find X3 Pro actually has a 4,500 mAh battery. It is divided up into two cells. It is not a 2,250 mAh battery. That would be ludicrous for a phone released in 2021.

    The thermal paste applied probably wasn't enough, that amount is enough to fill the gap between desktop cpu and its heatsink, but phone heatsink and the cpu usually has quite a big gap. You can see just how much the thermal paste was in there needed to cover enough surface area.

    My question is, do you something else to make sure it doesn’t falls apart ? I know you put two extra stripes of orange glue, but do you do something else?, thank you for sharing.
