@@nathanaelmalm5641 Yeah that's what I think, I must admit I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 and quite frankly prefer it to the Samsung Galaxy A20 any day.
I got the suspicion that the phone has been used in a crime and was "destroyed" since only been used for a few phonecalls but someone found it and sold it in a tech lot
The puncture hole in the back is facing into the phone (as far as I can see). The broken screen also looks like it was cracked from the inside out (by heavy force from the backside of the phone). Could easily be a shot with a 4,5 or 5,5 mm airgun. Would also be why the hole isn't right through the battery.
Great video Hugh! Always soothing and entertaining to see you refurbishing phones and i appreciate you trying to fix new phones besides iPhones. Also i love your expertise in figuring out how much a phone has been used. The trick with the file system creation dates is something new to me and I love to see you evolving. Keep up the good work m8
I really enjoy watching your videos. Inspired by your videos, I successfully repaired my Lenovo G580 laptop and was really exciting. Please keep making videos. Thanks!
The battery was punctured so you don't have to worry. I use the same phone. If you punctured any battery there's a good chance it'll burst into flames but Samsung made sure they wouldn't have another Note 7 situation
Yeah I'm glad to know that too, since my Galaxy A10 is 4 months old and I really don't need it exploding on me. Good to know it's not a ticking time bomb.
ZankPlayz I’m an Apple user. I just like to make fun of Apple sometimes 😂 I liked Samsung up until the S8. S7 edge is one of my favorite phones. I just prefer iOS.
I like you because you telling truth. ex: (DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, l will receive a small commission.)
This is why you should always test the screen on the phone and also the battery before going way ahead of yourself because sometimes these things might NOT work properly
I have a question. If the phone has a cracked motherboard or charging port, would that permanently make the phone unusable? Or could you go out and purchase a replacement to sorta rebuild the entire phone again with the small parts that were salvaged?
If the charging port is removable, then you could just buy a new one. Even if it's soldered onto the board, you can learn to take it off and replace it, or send it off to someone who can. I'm pretty sure it's the same for if the board is cracked. Just take out the stuff that isn't broken and put it on a new board.
I don't see why you do this, you realise you can just remove any damage with an eraser and toothpaste? pfft no seriously this is just staggering, I've just found your channel and I think it's incredible, I'm already excited for the next video.
Hugh Jeffreys I'm a big fan because I'm interest in fixing electronics and programming and you were the first channel i saw in youtube so i subscribe and like
The moment I scrolled down the feed and saw "Samsung" and "Caught on fire" in the title, I was thinking "A note 7 video in this day and age?" only to find out that in fact, it's just another samsung phone having battery problems.
I'm bit curious though. You've mentioned that the phone itself cost you $8 initially and the repair and such about $120 or so. But besides the tutorial if you want to and the fact that YES it could be brought back to a functional position, was it worth it? Keeping it for parts only could give you more money instead of spending money and almost getting close to half the price of a new one or even a refurbished one. Just a thought. Never the less it was yet again a GREAT video and making me enjoying each and every one and waiting every Saturday for a new one. Cheers.
I for some reason think this phone looks marvelous (tbh i have one and its the best fone ive ever had, hard as a rock and reliable as a 1950 yugoslavian tractor)
Hey Hugh it may be a lot too ask, but would you consider looking at an old gen ipad, that is cracked, won't turn on, and has a dysfunctional home button

The way you restore is replace all broken part with an aftermarket one :D
nah i'm first Cody
Richard King no
nah you're fourth Richard
Charger kun press newest first and then scroll all the way to the bottom.
This is why you should always test the screen on the phone and also the battery before going way ahead of yourself because sometimes these things might NOT work properly
