It’s crazy to think that you are probably doing more for the environment than Apple is. Highly respect what you do man! Keep up the great work!

Not to knock on him but it doesn't seem too hard to do more for the environment than Apple.

Awesome video! I miss this iPad mini because it’s the first iPad I ever own. Also, where is the long awaited iPod restoration from that one video? :o Edit: You can jailbreak the iPad to install a Dual Boot setup and then restore on the secondary OS to fully take advantage of the storage.

[@Aggression-hc3yp]

I still have my first iPad Mini, and I just need to make the screen stay on the thing after all the trouble I went to replacing it and its battery…and now I have. I just needed to remove the strips off the adhesive on the new screen that I got. We need more videos of that sort on here.

Hey Hugh, love the videos. Ever thought of doing a refurbishment on an original ipad?

[@sedailarslan]

check c8119 or c8120 for short to ground, most of the time 3v3 line shorted. inject 3.3 volt to c8120 and look for a hot component probably pmic.

[@JonnyIT1]

Keep up with the good work.

[@alansants4262]

[@JXL500]

Love the mac black and I reminds me of an iPhone 7

[@distortgaming538]

use some low melt solder to get the old connector off a lot easier. Stops you from also dumping to much heat onto the board.

[@techknewz]

just a suggestion what u can use is b7000 glue its a great adhesive glue in liquid form and is better than the tape

[@DavidScheiber]

Ipad rehab and Louis Rossman are great channels to watch for micro soldering I'm sure this has been commented before by people (probably also by me) but I just wanted to let everyone know again

[@4mbu2]

mate I have a iPad Mini but the Charging Port is broken.. hopefully I can get it fix soon since I have the most memorable time with it!

[@iPhone_3GS]

For an easier removal of the Charger port put leaded solder on the gold contact points then remove the charger port with heat. The leaded solder will decrease the temperature needed to melt the solder off

[@Latchimus]

I love these repair videos, where did you learn to do this? Any good starting reference materials?

[@raeesazzel291]

Hobby

[@saadakram9698]

Good video

[@applefactory9691]

Little tip when you want to wick the soldering apply new leaded solder and wick it then

[@alcalimot139]

That's the model I use till today! Yaaaay! The screen was been replaced three times.

[@opentech1252]

Super bro, good.job

[@raycalatallu3658]

I think the iPad mini one can go up to iOS 9.3.6. Because Apple released an iOS 9 update as well as an iOS 10 update.

[@Diegoooooo]

Right in time

[@Sugarkryptonite]

Nice job. What hot air station do you use?

[@dinigaming3577]

Hey jeffrey please make a video on how do you select the mixed lot/damaged phones from ebay

[@baditya1001]

I cant wait for your video about new JC home button..

[@baditya1001]

Or other Iphone 7/8 home button like BFX Home Button

[@Astinsan]

Put a wedge tip on the iron. Use tinning paste to prep the tip for use. The needle tips they put in with new irons are usually crap

[@CloroxBleachOfficial]

nice vid!

[@RageTurtle_Rage]

Hugh, the iPad might be downgradable but tethered, I’m im correct the checkm8 exploit should work in that iPad

[@Edvinas_channel]

Phoenix jb + coolbooter can downgrade it with ease (although it's semi-untethered), though it will consume disk space.

[@RageTurtle_Rage]

Edvinas I honestly forgot about that lol

[@itsDefying]

@@Edvinas_channel that works too, but it'd be interesting to build a checkm8 payload injector directly into the ipad mini itself since there's plenty of internal space

[@angeltrayer9770]

I've watched quite a bit of your videos and started repairing some family members' iphones/ipads because they crack the screen or need a new battery and I just wanted to say, thank you!

[@Xtrafix2015]

Wow Hugh, I was wondering if it was gonna start ghosting while you were working on it I always have problems with the mini no matter how good you clean the adhesive some contact starts to eventually make digitizer go haywire

[@sugarbombs6884]

Could you link the adhesive you used for the screen? I'm going to be doing a screen and housing replacement the same type of iPad, thanks

[@Gigabyte-hu7yh]

you could just jailbreak it and install coolbooter. you can go as far down as ios 5 i think depending on the device and it really helps speed things up
