With that whole thing you talked about used batteries being sold as new, I ran into this total scam just yesterday. I bought a "new" battery for a Motorola Droid turbo 2 on Amazon. It was one of the ones you said with a sticker on it. The battery was completely dead and didn't work at all. I decided to peel the sticker off and underneath was a motorola logo and a big "x" on it. This makes me think it was a genuine battery taken out of a phone which they knew was bad and then sold it to me as new.

[@energyboy5696]

Yo, I ordered a battery off amazon for a Dell laptop and it still isn't powering on due to a battery error code. I'll have to check it when I get home!!

Years ago the company that owned Suncoast movies and Musicland stores did a test concept store (20 total locations) that would "paint" your phone any color you wanted including car brand specific colors among other items such as DVD/CD on demand -- producing DVDs of shows/movies that were low priority, damaged, or out of print, custom screen printing of clothing, reprinting thousands of movie/concert posters and other niche items all with the authority of the product owners. Sadly Suncoast didn't continue it in spite of the massive success of those locations

The problem with the home and sleep button of the gold iphone has to do with pry damage between the battery and motherboard caused most likely by the previous owner trying to get out the battery with a tool because the pull sticker breaks easily. I know this because I have had done this exact thing once causing me to have these buttons not working (always pressing). When looking on the motherboard next to the battery with a microscope you should be able to see missing electrical components that are responsible for the sleep/home button function.

[@trevor245]

start with like super low prices (maybe like 10 an hour) build a reputation and go higher after. Also make sure to do a proper job and if possible educate yourself to do actual repairs such as chip replacements and not just parts replacements. Also try and get a source for bulk parts.

[@ThatTonybo]

And please use quality parts/tools and take care. I paid a newer repair person $100 to repair my old Xperia, and while he managed to source genuine original parts, he used cheap glue (both parts are now falling off) and the camera and earspeaker are now dead. Really got me put off repairing phones.

[@trevor245]

Hey H.J., This could be an used battery. I'm not gonna say how but if you treat the text on original Apple battery with a certain chemical fluid, which can be bought by anyone in most countries, you can just wipe off the text and stamps on the battery ;) I actually saw that trick on a certain video platform called Coub and after trying it out, I was able to wipe the text off without damaging the battery. However, if you find that tutorial and want to try it out, buy medical handgloves (the blue ones) because the fluid can make your skin a bit rough. You can describe the state of the skin as an "Sandpaper skin" : P Don't ask me how I found that one out
