- I Paid $1,359 for 8 Broken Samsung Phones - Ft. Star Wars Galaxy Note 10+ This is my first time trying to repair Samsung phones but I think I did pretty well (Mostly!). I replaced the back glass on the 2 Galaxy S10 phones, replaced the camera lens on the Star Wars Galaxy Note 10+, and tried to fix the power button on a Galaxy S10e. Two of the phones didn't need any repairs and the older Samsung phones aren't worth enough to bother trying to fix. Overall I think this repair lot turned out pretty good!

About This Video: In this video I'm trying to repair Samsung phones for the first time. I bought 8 phones: 2 older ones (which I didn't try to fix), 2 Galaxy S10, 2 Galaxy S10e, 1 Galaxy S10+, and 1 Star Wars Galaxy Note 10+. I was able to repair 5 out of the 6 that I attempted repairs on so not too bad! The one I didn't fix actually ended up needing more repairs by the time I was done...but hey, that's how I learn. :-) - Навчання та стиль
That screen though! Really messed that one up! Who wants to see more Samsung phone repairs?
I enjoy these videos, though i could see that replacing a samsung screen would not be easy
I would like to see more tho
I find it funny how all these phones were minorly broken and then all the iPhones were brutally destroyed to pieces 😂
@@Juliuscaesar69th when you buy replacement screens for Samsung (geuniune and aftermarket) they come with the frame already attached. So basically you swap the battery, motherboard, charge port and motor over and stick the back on
It seems like it doesn't matter what you are fixing, it's going to be interesting. You have got quite a bit of charisma. I'm, perhaps, not the greatest fan of phone fixing because they are so tiny and compact, and I feel like there isn't really that many things you can fix in them easily enough (profitably enough), and thus we won't be seeing so much of hunting for the faults with successful results. However, if you do film fixing them, I'll be here to watch.
Most of these phones were still perfectly usable. Its amazing how quick people are to chuck them after a little crack.
Yes, that is crazy
I don't even get how people break their phones, I haven't as much as gotten a chip or a crack on any phone I ever owned, I've dropped them a good amount of times but having a good case saved them all.
Its like people are purposely destroying them
I literally use them until it's literally impossible to continue. Like a screen can be in pieces with chucnks falling out but if the touch works I'll still use it
IMO the ones in pretty good shape were probably stolen. Especially where just the SIM card is missing....
People don't chuck them, I personally had an s10 with a tiny crack on the corner which didn't affect functionality however I was insured and they wrote it off so I got a new one.
Hey TronicxFix, i'm an engineer at samsung - quick tip for testing in the future, type *#0*# in the keypad for a better way to test things!
I recommend heating up tapes and pressing the IP68 phones so you get a solid stick. Theres a barometer test in the tester if you want to make sure its airtight (just make sure the sim tray is in and put tape over the rear camera, as there are tiny air vents there)
Please also remember to blur the IMEI on the sticker on the battery! people are assholes and may wanna screw you over.
Awesome job on the repairs :) love your stuff
WUT! That test just blew my mind...that's amazing. Thank you so much!
Yes, I always heat them back up to make sure the adhesive sticks well. I checked the baro and it passed.
Again, thanks!
Too bad he can’t use GD lol that application will tell you everything
That's really awesome!
As an engineer, do you fix broken Samsung phones or built them? :)
NDA?
@@MrSilancer anyone that doesn't already know that code is not a tinkerer 😂
Samsung Galaxy: *Scratch*
eBay: Samsung Galaxy for sale (Broken: not working)
lol I wish this was true. I got a lot of phones and it was only one crap thing with a crack on the screen which worked. 2 were sim blocked. I gave up after that.
“Screen crack on the back, hopefully you can see that on camera.” *tries to see through all the cracks on my phone*
I had a very old samsung that i accidently dropped a piece of metal on. i didn't have that plastic screen cover so afterwards i put the plastic screen protector on and the only thing that really was broken was the more options button. i think i used for another 6 months before the screen stopped working.
"if it's not broke, we'll fix it until it is!" lmao I love this motto
Seeing the broken special edition star wars phone made me physically recoil.
ikr! Such a nice phone!
Why?
It wasn’t even broken I only consider a phone broken once it won’t turn on or it has more than 70 cracks on the display then it’s broken
MR_ JZ_12 if you can’t use it it’s broken but I’m betting you can still use it
@@Xaddre your density astounds me. There was a crack. A crack means it is broken no matter if it effects the phone in a small/big way. Thank you for your time.
I need deals like this in my life.
Check for liquidation sites
Even with selling the note. He may make 3 to 400 after fixing.
I might be surprised if he gets 900 for the star wars one. But who knows
They are all almost brand new....
These are in nice condition overall other than the broken bits
@Paul Brenning Okay..
@Paul Brenning You can literally go on eBay and see that people do sell pristine phones with minor issues.
@Paul Brenning oh , i cant believe an American doesn't know an American website called ebay
@Paul Brenning I have seen Tronics buy broken consoles and parts for prices that are nowhere near good bargains. I don't think this is fake, he wins some and he loses some. In some videos he barely manages to break even...
Congrats, you worked hard and deliver high quality content I'm sure 1 million is closer than you think.
Thanks Paul!
Gone up 300k subs since this post
@@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure Tronics will hit 1 million this year easy, that's the next one right?
@@casualbachelor he deserves it!
Only like 70k away now
When you said you were going to remove the screen in order to replace the power button, I was screaming PLEASE DON'T! in my head, and the thing I was afraid would happen happened. Those screens are ridiculously fragile, probably more than a potato chip lol. Atleast you were able to fix up the other ones, so that's nice. I'd be devastated if I broke the screen myself, and would probably be afraid to touch any other phone for a while lol.
Ha, ha...yep...found that out real quick! Now I want to try another one though...now that I know.
@@Tronicsfix They can't be removed. The glue on the back is too strong. The force needed to pull it off the glue will already break it. Maybe you could saw it off with the delidding wire for the Xbox chips.
@@Mobin92 It's just beyond ridiculous that a mechanical switch like the power button has been buried so deep inside the phone that you can not replace it without also replacing the screen, making it not profitable to do so.
Sometimes i think they do these kinds of things on purpose to force you to buy a new phone, instead of changing that $1 mechanical switch.
Right now it seems as the EU is talking about forcing manufacturers to make batteries replaceable again. I hope this will force the manufacturers to think outside of the box and make the phone batteries replaceable without ruining to much of the look and feel of the phones.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz With all the rain the UK gets I hope that doesn't happen. The reason phones are sealed up like the flagships is for water resistance.
Notice, phones with replaceable batteries have no IP ratings.
@@leskobrandon6950 What do you care, i said that the EU wants to mandate it for phones sold in the EU :) (Just to be clear, i wish our country also left that corrupt club :) )
Do more of these Samsung fixes! Love watching Samsung repair videos.
I might. Might try finding some Galaxy Folds to TRY to repair
@@Tronicsfix oh no ..
TronicsFix the type of guy to fix something damaged in shipping instead of returning it.
steve i'd just like to say thank you, your content's inspired me so much and when i've been depressed, watching you work on technology has been so therapeutic and it's stopped me from doing anything bad. i'm on the road to recovery right now. i actually bought a torx set and opened my controller and fixed it thanks to you! great vid, never stop ❤️
Hope you are feeling better now. Depression isn't something to take lightly. Take care, my friend.
man i remember watching one of your very first videos where you almost got 100K+ views and you were so happy about it, now see you going all the way up, glad i was here then
Thanks for the support!
When you remove the rear camera glass that’s putting lots of small shards into the camera assembly you should at least try to bang out the glass before putting the new glass on.
What tells you he didn't. Video was edited out
couple years later, "hello guys, today i'll be repairing the ISS" 😂
Congrats to you there TronicsFix. You're the best game console fixer ever.
Hey thanks!
Congrats on all the success! I really look forward to your videos every week. Its the perfect way to de-stress and kick off the weekend.
Because of this video, I was able to fix my daughter's phone which was the power button. Never thought that the power buttons could end up being faulty. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
You Know
Glass is Glass,
And Glass breaks
So I've heard!
Sell the others and keep the StarWars one your yourself.
Do it.
Your videos are seriously some of my favorite of all time. I don't know what it is but I find them equally fascinating and relaxing. 500k is coming soon, you deserve it!
4:23 - The text on that mat is funny "Do not let the staff can not take care of themselves" 😂
That star wars phone was beautiful!!!!
I love this channel so much. This is literally my favorite thing to do
Thanks for your comment...appreciate that! And thanks for watching!
What carrier is it for?
@@Tronicsfix so long as you keep making videos ill keep supporting you. Good work man!
12:09 very intelligent xD
I have zero ability and patience to fix anything but for some reason I love these videos .. just facinating to see how you do it and remember it all . Like car mechanic vids ..amazing talent
Congrats on the 100k plaque! You're a great guy and your videos are great and entertaining to follow and watch! Keep up the great content!
Zack from JerryRigEverything would be proud! Well done with those fixes man! I enjoyed this a lot! Keep them coming! :)
I would definately keep that Star Wars one!
That s10e power button placement , reminds me when I was fixing my s7 home button. Very power design then as is now, there is no need to be removing the screen to fix such a small part.
honestly i really enjoy your clips, i think they are pretty chill, i really like just to sit on my desk and to chill with some of your videos because this way i learn how to fix "things" so thank you
You should try PC's, they are cheap to buy when broken and expansive for selling when working
I might!
@@Tronicsfix You should be the Louis Rossman of phones and solder the slightly broken motherboards together and actually do the repairs like that instead of just replacing the whole mobo. You would have much better margins aswell
TronicsFix: let's take it apart
Me: making popcorn
Congrats on the subs love your work it's got me into tinkering with broken electronics got the basic tools to test devices to figure out what's going on and ordered my first rework stations can't wait till it arrives
Congratulations on the milestone, your channel has actually helped me fix some of my own tech!
I just bought a broken 3ds and messed it up completely while trying to repair it. I guess thats just how it goes.
For how much u got it?
@@claudiuclaudiu8873 45€
Rip
Been watching for a few months and I’m hooked! Thanks for showing me how to clean my PS4 and all the cool repairs you do 😊
Thanks for watching!
I would never have guessed I would enjoy watching someone fixing things, but I'm addicted 😁😁 keep the videos coming
I really love videos like these. I wish you could make longer or 2-3part bunch repair videos like you did with xboxes or ps4s. I rewached the nintendo repair bunch videos like 7 times. You are very peofessional, always trying to repair something if you can, but i would like to see the repairing logistics of motherboards in detail like you used to. Great video.
Watching this on my Note 10+. The Star Wars you have is amazing.
I really like that phone!
@@Tronicsfix I prefer my Note 9, headphone jacks for the win ;P
Why it is so amazing? Just because of the „Star Wars“? That‘s it? Ash...
SolSna no what’s what happened when you take the pin out
Great video, shame about the screen but it’s an impossible task to begin with. I tend to stay away from Samsung phones mostly for how difficult they are to repair but also how hard it is to source a good quality display. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you purchase those black and blue gloves you were wearing, they look sustainable!! Thanks again for another awesome video
I never plan on fixing anything but I still had fun watching this video, Good stuff man and grats on the sub milestone.
This and the guy who melts scrap metal in Australia are my new favorite channels. The hustle is real on these channels.
Congratulations on the subs and the recognition, definitely well deserved. You are awesome.
Hey thanks!
Declares a galaxy S5 to be not worth fixing
Me, a galaxy S4 user: How dare he throw away that vastly superior technology!
I am using a s5
I had a galaxy grand prime 2 months ago, now i have a redmi note 8 pro
There isn't even a phone made today that packs the hardware features the S5 had. Headphone Jack, ir blaster, removable battery, ip67 water resistance, heart rate sensor, fingerprint reader etc
I'm still using an S5 as well as S4 mini. Everything today is either too big or a huge downgrade
Way to go buddy 👍 I'm really liking your mobiles fixes alot. Congratulations and keep up the good work 👍
I want to think you for the lessons you taught me about how to fix electronics. You're awesome and you deserve that.
12:07 "Heat this up with some heat"
you don't say
5:18 "let's take a look and see how this looks"
@@user-hs2hd7wp9g lets take a look and see how she looks
0:34 Thats a Newer one. 2019 ish Samsung phone. Just a lower end model.
Yep it looks like a J7 Crown, since it came in black. I have a Star and I think the two colors that were offered for that were Blue and Silver. It's a low tier J7. (there's so many different model names for this model of phone)
It looks like an s5 s6 to me.
2STROKE POWER look at the back and recent buttons.. that’s how you can easily tell. That design didn’t come out until late 2017/2018
@@HPad2 Yup my phone has those "recents" and back buttons, and also the home button. Even everything about the camera gives away the fact it's a J7 too.
------------------
The funny thing is that line of phones also has a high end and a low end. (The price range for those is low-range to mid-range. J7 Crown is low-range priced; J7 Star is more mid-range [when I got it was around the mid to high $200's]. Display may have that defect, that when dropped a certain way the display takes damage and gets a dead pixel [with a black "shadow" that encompasses the affected corner.)
I think it's a j3 achieve because I used to have one
I really love what you do and every time I watch m scared things may go wrong but u always have your way of doing things and it turns out well.. Love you man
Aye man glad to see you blowing up. You deserve it though you’re really good at your craft and you make good content
Way to go Steve. Nice note 10 of yours! Hope you make some good profit.
Hey thanks!
Awesome video dude 😁 Can we expect any more console repairs soon? Would love to see some more Samsung repairs aswell!
YES! But not for a bit. I just started filming another lot of 23 Switches.
@@Tronicsfix Very hyped for this. Think the switches are most satisfying!
You should really do one video in which you go through everything. Starting with how you decide on which ebay lots to go with and ending with the amount of profits you make after sale. It'd be really cool to see.
Great job getting your Silver Award! Keep up the good work, we are one of your top fans. More success to you in the future! Gold Award soon!
Love this! That Star Wars phone is sweet!
Agree....such a cool phone!
9:25 My Heart is bleeding
You seem like a genuine guy , keep up the cool content for that I am hooked up on watching your stuff , haha.
It's always so relaxing watching you fix stuff.
"Looks like that front screen has to come off as well"
NONONONONONO!
I died inside knowing he was trying to take that off
Phones release new models so often I can't imagine wasting time fixing a phone more than 2 models out of date. They also stop getting supported for software updates which blocks us from using many apps. The phone industry is so insanely scummy.
On amoled screens always use isopropyl alcohol or lighter fluid, it maxes so much easier to remove them without damaging them.
Good video!
You are one of the best and sympathic. We thank you for entertaining us so much. Greetings from Germany 😁
The Note 10+ star wars is a limited edition and it’s very rare !
Yep
@@Tronicsfix why were 2 of those phones labeled as broken? They seemed fine maybe mislabeled
One said it had an internal memory issue but haven't found any problems with it yet. The other had no label and is fine so far. Still need to test it a bit more.
@@Tronicsfix I see well if that's the case at least you don't gotta spend money to fix them.
TronicsFix you can sell the Note 10+ for around $1500
a new subscriber here :D !!!!
greetings from Egypt .. love ur videoss .. keep it up
its amazing how neat ur work space is .. here people eat on the stuff they fix :D
Welcome to my channel!
Man are you out of your mind. Who in the world gets a once in a lifetime Galaxy Star Wars in perfect or almost perfect in your situation and wants to sell it. That phone is one of a kind and it’s going to be worth a lot in the near future. Think about it 🤯🤯🤩
Honestly I love watching these videos hopefully I can fix my stuff when it breaks from watching this!
Me watching him ripping the S10e's screen off: O_O
" I don ´t know if thats gonna be a problem" , 20 seconds before he bent the Amoled...
Enjoying all your videos from down in New Zealand! 😁 Keep up the good work
Cool! Thanks for watching.
congrats brother! Keep it up! your going places my man!
From someone who works in an unnamed tech repair company (so that I don't get in trouble with my NDA lol) here some tips.
If you are going to take off an lcd don use any metal tools if you don't want it to break immediately, the same goes for the backglasses. we use the ifixit guitar picks. and we heat them up to about 75 degrees c.
On the note 10 series be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when taking off the backglass, there are ribbon cables that go up the right side of the back glass that if you nick or cut the wifi and cellular barely connect. (I know this from experience) Also, be careful when taking off the back covers as one contains the wireless charging coil and if you take it out wrong it will break and the temperature sensor for the battery is in there. it will make it so that the phone shows the error message battery temp to low and will not charge unless the phone is off. it is fixable with a new coil though if you can find the parts.
If you replace screens on any samsung try and get the ones that come with the frame. It takes out a lot of the work and your much less likely to break anything as you just have to transfer the motherboard and a few other components.
If you ever take out a battery only run it along the sides of the metal frame around the battery. the majority of samsungs have a cutout in the middle that goes directly to the lcd backing and you can and will break the lcd if you just shove your sesamo underneath the battery.
look up know issues for certain series of samsungs before you buy lots. im not gonna say what they are (that sweet NDA is scary) but there are some issues that are not fixable so be wary.
Make a video repairing a lot of airpods
Airpods aren't repairable...unfortunately.
Oh well
You are Very Smart! Of course people want to watch you! You deserve all those subs! Congratulations!
You never want to break glass more near cameras because tiny little shorts can get in the mechanism and they won't be able to move if they have ois essentially you're breaking it by breaking glass next to it
I can't even find a broken S10 let alone a Star Wars Edition Note 10+
Such an interesting video, I'm lowkey jealous for that Note 10+, I was deciding between that one or the U12+ (HTC) from which I chose the latter and now regret xD
My workmate has that phone and I admire it every time! In about 6 months, I can choose another phone in my contract and I guess it's coming down to this then~
Have fun while you still have it, would be an amazing resell tho!
It's such a nice phone!
For a big screen phone the note is better. Only downside of the HTC is the non physical buttons. They are a pain to use with a case on. Samsung one UI is personal preference and the camera has very over saturated photos
Bro, we have to thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. May God bless you and give you more.
Super relaxing watching the vids. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you at 1mil
Watching this on my Samsung Galaxy s10
ha ha...nice!
I'd add my name to list that probably wants to buy the star wars phone haha
My name is at the top of that list! ha ha
@@Tronicsfix i would keep it =) sell the rest it looks amazing
I love watching you repair stuff, this make me relax ahaha.
Did you buy these phone on eBay?
I've been watching your videos recently and they are oddly satisfying. UA-cam recommendations ftw
9:27 Him: Rips off the OLED layer from the front glass. Expects the display to still work.
Still him: "ok. Well, that wasn't the prettiest thing, but I did get the screen off. I don't know... These edges look pretty bad. I don't know if that's gonna be a problem or not..."
Lol
Hey man! I know we have talked before. I'm actually a certified Samsung repair technician and work in partnership with them. If you ever need help with any in the future feel free to shoot me a comment or message I'd be glad to help you out. I fix about 10 of these a day lol
Wow
Hi.Please, can you tell what i did wrong with a backcover to a Samsung a8 2018...after i apply hot air i tried to remove with a blade, after 2 mm he cracked.Thanks anyway.
I mean as much as it sucks that that phone failed and the screen got broke I like how transparent your channel is.. You're not out there sugar coating it for people
I had a dream that you ran a contest for one fan to come and check out your studio and spend a day with you. You owned tons of model trains and your wife cooked really good food and we went to Goodwill and thrifted together. It was a blast 😂 congrats on the play button, long overdue!
Hey TronicsFix, can you make a video repairing some headphones or speakers like JBL or Beats?
I might do a video like that...I've been watching for some.
#6 has a hairline fracture on the top left of the display
I'll have a look...could have been an actual hair. I have cats...lol
TronicsFix Cat video when?
Love the safety message on your blue mat… Such poetry
4. Do not use this product as a blanket don't into water cleaning
5. Make sure the switch and wiring split screen treasure box away from water to avoid short circuit
6. Do not let the staff can not take care of themselves, infants or people who are sensitive to heat without the use of; In use, cut, puncture, cause a short circuit risk of leakage
Fortunately, you are a staff who can take care of themselves. :) Good vid. Thanks
Wow, you are much better at fixing Samsung phones than I thought you were!
As a phone tech I cringed so hard when you try to take off the oled
ha,ha...first time for everything.
TronicsFix no worries I had to take apart and put back together this ps4 I fixed the HDMI on FOUR times because I forgot cables, forgot clock battery, forgot thermal paste.
TronicsFix I did my first switch charge port the other day without issues though 😁
Did he have to though? I know it looked like the power button was sandwiched between the screen and mainframe, but doesn't Samsung make their buttons removable from the sides now? I don't know if the connector wouldn't allow him to pull out it through the side. But I would've taken that approach instead of fussing with the screen. Fussing with OLEDs mean certain death and it's usually not worth touching for a repair.
I hope these have good IMEI for resale, otherwise you're gonna be stuck or forced to do some shady stuff lol
Yes, that's already been checked. That's something you always have to watch out for.
Is the IMEI really needed to sell it on ebay or some random site?
Love watching your videos I wish you the best with you’re channel me and others are rooting for you!!!
