$51 OnePlus 8 Pro Restoration

[@walpoleandworcester]

Here’s to another year of repairing all these phones and tech products Hugh! Well done.

[@Themeraldknight]

It’s too bad one plus’s made this phone right after the 7 pro witch had a pop up camera

[@DESTROYYER5671]

Just a quick thing to check. Make sure your storage isn't filling up fast on it, some Oneplus phones are writing large dump files and not deleting them afterwards. This causes the storage to fill up rapidly, LTT covered this issue a few months back.

that was patched ages ago, and only affected the 9 series

[@burhanbudak6041]

The screen is the most valuable part. If you find a One plus phone with a pristine screen but the rest is broken, repair is cheap.

[@SeptienPatterson]

I'd love a $51 OnePlus 8 Pro. Hugh gets all the best finds.

[@AponTechy]

It's actually 400$

[@suhailvaliyandi4024]

Replacement screen expensive

[@jozsefizsak]

Your videos are always very satisfying on a number of levels. Thank you for everything you're doing.

[@mecca6801]

As a fellow techie, it's always a delight to watch a master at work!

[@muhammadsaeed6849]

I just love the way Mr Hugh does his work. Always leaning towards the perfection as possible. Well done man.

[@Techlevel1534.]

So good to see someone repairing broken phones and giving them a second life. Good job.

[@warhead_beast7661]

0:46 normaly there should be a charger in the box since the 8Pro uses warp charge which requires a special brick and cable which they provide in the box

[@itzshihochin]

Hey, Hugh. Hope you had a good time this year 2023.

[@paincreatesfame]

Wonderful work as always, it's really great to see someone breathing life back into these broken devices

[@AutisTECH96]

Your videos are honestly never boring, TBH, I always like to see repair videos from you, keep up the amazing work!

[@Darkknight512]

If phone companies get to sell phones with no chargers, I expect a big "No Charger Included" written on the box if companies keep putting "Batteries Included" on boxes.

[@dogwaterthedev9386]

impressively enough, there are already 12 comments, one minute EXACTLY after posting the video. this shows you've got some loyal viewers, Hugh.

[@raedjibrail]

Although the spare parts weren’t cheap, I was impressed with how straightforward the repair process seemed to be. Especially when you compare it to Apple products. I have the oneplus 8, and can genuinely say l love the phone.

[@benjaminl.]

happy new years hugh

[@Cinco-da-mayo]

To all the poor phone repair guys watch the way this guy does the job so neatly. Wishing you a very happy new year Jeff❤❤

[@TheSpotify95]

Happy New Year - and it's great to see that this device is getting a new lease of life! I suppose $AU 400 isn't that bad for a device like the OnePlus 8 - that equates to just over £225, so good value for money. If you had taken the route of selling online, rather than privately, I'm sure you would have seen a profit.

[@FANOFARR]

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS !

[@kucaty]

Happy new year

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Great job Hugh! $5 for the adhesive kit seems ridiculously cheap - but then, not all of it was very useful so I guess you get what you pay for in terms of value!

[@slowpoke101_]

It's not really worth even $5, but it's respectable compared to some other sellers.

[@philliprhinehardt6268]

Another great repair by Hugh Jeffreys

[@daniel_wilkinson]

When I did my S10+ a few weeks ago I spent two solid, long, ardouous hours scraping and cleaning adhesive. It was well worth it.

[@Solarium07]

One plus has definitely changed from what I remember. Overall this should be a great restoration

[@brando12343]

That rear adhesive is brutal, never seen more stubborn adhesive in my life

[@Eastenders2024]

Hugh Jeffrey’s repair videos always makes my day I attempted to fix my old Samsung A3 2016 and the repair was successful the phone is working thank you Hugh for teaching and showing us how to repair our devices

[@HeroRareheart]

I worked at a repair place for about 2 months and I watched half of the repairs get done super lazily. Main issue was reuse of seals and adhesive being common place. We didn't have all the tools we needed either, the owner just didn't get some of the stuff we needed. I got fired after I sent a lengthy angry email in response to a bogus wright up and as much as that sucks I'm glad to be gone.

[@LawpickingLocksmith]

Well done! I admire your patience. With the Pixel 6a approaching the $500 mark it is going to be tougher every day. Learned a lot. Hugh Thanks!

[@CattopyTheWeb]

Happy new year, Hugh! Here's to a great year of repairing tech ;)

[@finnjacobs]

The original adhesive on OnePlus phones on the back is really tough to remove. When I replaced the battery of it myself, I wanted to make sure everything was as close to factory as possible, so I replaced the og adhesive with some official back adhesive as well, but like you said, it's tough to remove. I spent like 3 hours trying to remove it with a spudger and some regular isopropyl alcohol.

[@brando12343]

Same here, it is a nightmare, I tried everything from goo gone to acetone to IPA and nothing seemed to work very well on that hulk strength adhesive, my method was soak in IPA and scrub with a q tip until it got dirty, I think I went through 100 to get the stuff off

[@coffeemakerbottomcracked]

What kind of special type of adhesive are they using? Samsung back adhesive can be easily scrubbed off with alcohol

[@Random_4400]

always makes my day when you upload :)

[@XamourasG]

I repaired an 8 pro earlier last year and I have to say, you are very lucky the display was an aftermarket. The original adhesive was so strong, that I burned and cut my fingers whilst removing it.

[@Evie0133]

0:08 lol that's the biggest hole punch i've seen haha

[@MizushimaNaomiz]

Hugh doing his amazing videos, happy new year! Hopefully 2023 would be an interesting year to phone repairs.

[@alwaysfair4991]

It's good to have family members who can do such repairs.

[@just_rikuriku]

You've got golden hands, my man. In case with this phone I'd rather pay someone else to repair it for me. Absolutely painstaking process and it's easy to make a crucial mistake here. I almost see myself dropping some alcohol on the camera module while trying to remove old adhesive. Well done! Also happy new year everyone :3

[@kiyoponnn]

You have what we in the trade call skill issue

[@just_rikuriku]

​@@kiyoponnn meh, maybe. I think I'm able to repair most of the phones, but this one is still kinda too painful for me

[@MkwRa]

i replaced the screen on xiaomi mi 11 which is even worse lol

[@MkwRa]

@Chitrai Rajan oh iphone is easier than xiaomi where u have to use glue lol

[@arthurkrejca]

​@@MkwRaThe bigger pain had to be a price of the display😂. Who gave you the phone or how you broke it? Screen on Mi 11 is one of the most expensive.

[@dukedepommefrite]

I wish all repair people were as good as you are. There are so many shoddy fake repairs done these days that it makes my blood boil.

[@karlgomez]

Your content is so clean yet very interesting

[@yomurita]

The new adhesive for the display you bought might have not been sealed properly, so particles got into it and made it less effective. Pain, but you got around to it anyway :P

[@brutalkid9791]

Might not be the cleanest repairs of him.

[@cutzbygian]

This guys is the best and trustworthy thirth party repair guy ✌️❤️💯, love all your work bro I’ve watched u ever since ✌️❤️💯

[@notbubbsh]

Idk if it will work but perhaps when placing the precut adhesive. You either place it on your heatplate or hairdry it. Maybe it can reactivate the stickiness?

[@DrChickwit]

Just as good as new! Nicely repaired!

[@brutalkid9791]

I have this device since 2 years and i still love it.

[@suhailvaliyandi4024]

I have also two 8 pro

[@Twitchguy]

Trick for making pre cut adhesives stick better. Run a heat source over the adhesive for just a few seconds. Heating it up will make the adhesive stick and when you put the devices back together it will spread out more for a better seal due to the pressure 😊

[@exploringeverything8221]

correct, the way he did it is crap

[@Twitchguy]

@@exploringeverything8221 no he did it correctly. It has more to do with the quality of the adhesive. Some of the precut adhesives are just cheaper quality or have been sitting on shelves for months/years causing them to cure/harden so they need a little heat to get them ready

[@Zerbey]

Nice work, great to see some new repair videos!

[@Alias_Anybody]

No softlocks of any type? Beautiful.

Happy New Year Everyone!

[@CidKagenouNotShadow]

I must point some mistakes you've made based on my knowledge so we can all be better tommorow. 1) After disconnecting the battery, press the power button several times to discharge any electricity. This is to prevent shorts 2. If possible, replace the water damage indicator 3. This is uncommon but sometimes the pre-cut adhesive needs to be heated with the right amount of heat to make it sticky again. (If you're replacing them with 3M tapes, just ensure that the tape is not too thick) 4. To make it more cleaner, wipe off residual liquid adhesive *BEFORE* it starts to harden. You may use a tiny amount of alcohol and maybe use cotton beads for it. But using alcohol after replacing the new screen is risky, so be responsible if you want to 5. Again, cleaning anything using alcohol is risky after replacing the screen. Try avoid using it because even one drop of alcohol could ruin the entire display if it makes contact

[@nikitayeee]

wow that main sensor is absolutely huge

[@fredscratchet1355]

Nice video Hugh and a Happy New Year to you. I've repaired a few OnePlus phones and I do like them but prices for parts for the later models here in the UK have gone through the roof. So unless I can pick up a faulty phone for peanuts it's not really a viable repair here.

[@moe_1886]

Happy New Year Hugh! Nice little repair job to start the year 🙃 But me being me, I probably would have 'screwed' it up still! 🤣😂

[@BrendenPragasam]

Did the same thing with a OnePlus 7t a couple of years ago! For some reason OnePlus phones can be great fixer candidates

[@MrZitko]

Finally some good restoration video ☺️

[@hwntwww]

Apropos iphone connectors, have you seen where 30 pin and lightning connectors are swapped, on phone? Most adaptors are impractical for my use case- using expensive plug in microphones with 30 pin plugs like the iXY on more recent phones.

[@UzY3L]

These water indicators are useless. I've had countless phones which have never seen water but the indicators were red when I took them apart because the phone was in my pocket during Summer while I was out. They are too sensitive and should be made to turn red when water actually contacts them not when it's a little foggy outside or I use the phone while taking a bath or when I have the phone in my pocket and sweat a little. Pro-tip: use a USB-C hub to connect a mouse to the phone when the screen doesn't respond. Should help with data recovery and or turning off some phones which can't be turned off by keeping the power button pressed(looking at you, LG)

[@Harpoon6666]

[@ondrejtarcal6909]

It's interesting that this OnePlus boots without the wireless charger being connected. When i was changing the battery on my xiaomi mi 10 and tried to test it if it boots after the change nothing happened. I had to connect the wireless charger too before it would actually boot. I got so scared that I had broken something. But then it worked luckily

[@ashleylycan9335]

Hugh may i ask where did you get the display and adhesive from? Ive recently went to a local repair shop to change out the display on a 8 Pro that i gifted to my dad, but the shop didn't glue in the display properly and left a gaping hole next to a dent. Was wondering if i could get some adhesive to re apply secure it myself.

[@redouanebarkat8777]

Idk why but watching phones getting repaired is so mesmerizing to me

[@libertyordeaf]

I have the Oneplus 8 Pro as my current daily phone. It's a great phone and is still going strong after a couple of years. I didn't realise it had wireless charging, not that I would use it anyway. The design looks more straightforward and repairable than other makes.

[@1984Cutlass2nv]

I have this phone in the same condition as that one, sitting in my drawer broken. In Canada the cheapest I can find a replacement display for is around $400 on Amazon from a questionable source. Ifixit has no stock on the one you used. Repairing the 8 pro will cost me almost the price of 2 LG V60's which is what I have now.

[@re-fix9678]

good job😊😊

[@JP-RAC]

99% of the time I use my own adhesive similar to the way you did Hugh. Just can't trust the kits in my opinion. The last thing you need is a repair coming back because the display is falling off.

[@ReWGeT]

Alternatively you can plug a mouse with an OTG to shut down the phone.

[@kosty_1]

If you want to turn the phone off with the touchscreen not working, plug in a mouse via OTG cable, that should work if usb is intsct
