Housemate Drops Her Pixel 6 In Water

[@SantanzXX]

my 15month pixel 6 also have this exactly same problem. The glass was separated from the frame and the water splash got in and broke my lcd.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Wow, that's crazy

[@Paulo-py4mm]

@@RestoreTechnique even crazier that you have a pixel 6 with an LCD screen :O

[@SantanzXX]

​@@Paulo-py4mmsorry, i mean my screen 😅🤣

[@FR4M3Sharma]

The bond between the OLed and Digitizer is kept with that UV Glue, it probably only got detached from some specific corner of the screen assembly and thus made it stopped working, I think detaching the digitizer and then re-gluing it back to the OLed with UV glue might have made it work, but that's more money spent for even more hassle and may not even yeild a working result.

[@pu239]

the ending is hilarious 😂

[@anirudh_mr.x]

😂😂😂

[@finnjacobs]

Sad that it had to be an entire display replacement, but good job nonetheless. Maybe you can recycle the old display and get some money back? As the oled's fine, it's probably just a shortage somewhere on the driver that they might be able to replace

[@an3k]

I loudly screamed when I saw you squeezing IPA into the layers of the display. When I got a tiny bit of IPA onto the side of the layers of my Pixel 2 XL, it "ate" the OLEDS and I left behind with a black "dot".

[@RestoreTechnique]

I have never heard of IPA damaging any OLED screen before, that's very weird. IPA can not eat into the glass structure of the OLED. Phone technicians have been using IPA to clean phone screens for years. I've never had IPA do any damage to a display before, and I've repaired over a thousand phones. 🤷‍♂️ Edit: typo

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@uctm0fgwitdtbrp1-zqlm9sq6 iPod touch's used LCD's, not OLED displays. What you're describing sounds like IPA getting into the backlight of the LCD, which is layers of thin translucent plastic that appear blotchy and distorted if liquid gets in between them. Edit: Sorry I meant to say in my original comment; "I have never heard of IPA damaging any OLED screen before"

[@an3k]

@@RestoreTechnique Yeah, I was surprised as well. But maybe it happened because it was a P-OLED display which doesn't use glass but polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) or polyimide plastics (PI) as the substrate? (I googled a bit ;)

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@an3k oh dang, didn't know that, you just learned me good 😯

[@majong_da]

Nowadays touch matrix is integrated into the OLED layers and flex cable is going right in the bottom of the display where's tear between screen and plastic frame was found. My guess is that the touchscreen itself just died because of the water

[@DCOneFourSeven]

Nice to see that certain phones can be repaired after all!

[@pu239]

The editing was great lol

[@coffeemakerbottomcracked]

I have used Pixel 6 (exactly this color) as a daily driver for about 8 months now, and because it is mid-range and not a flagship, they seemingly used cheaper OLED displays, if you look at the screen at certain angle, you can see some kind of "rainbow effect" High-end OLEDS on flagships don't have this "problem". My Pixel 6 has slight green tint at upper right corner, so not the best screen thats for sure.

[@RestoreTechnique]

I wouldn't call the Pixel 6 mid range. Upon release it was the 2nd best phone in the pixel range. Someone else mentioned the cheaper OLED screen though, I didn't notice anything lower quality in my limited usage of it. My housemate probably wouldn't notice either way.

You said that she is not your favorite house mate. Be careful. She could watch this.

[@RestoreTechnique]

😆

[@maluminse6013]

Either a factory defect with the glue or the "housemate" has been abusing the phone...probably by sitting on it in her back pocket causing it to flex repeatedly. Why didn't he check the liquid damage indicators?

[@DimaKirivel]

Pixel 6 got some of that xperia Z series vibe

[@RestoreTechnique]

How so? The heat press adhesive? Similar screen bezel?

[@DimaKirivel]

@@RestoreTechnique Bad screen adhesive

[@that_camo_bronco_guy]

Didnt have my display fail but was walking in the rain and now my bottom speaker doesnt work

[@RestoreTechnique]

😣

Ending he charged her by using her KZbin account to like all his videos 😂❤

[@RestoreTechnique]

hehe

[@timbalqvroa]

My pixel 6 got water in the speakers and they both got damaged

[@casio912]

It was necessary to dry the display with a stream of hot air.

[@julianmustofa4423]

I think if its touch ic related problem, you won’t had any touch register at all

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah maybe

[@XodiumLabs]

Kinda reminds me of what happened to my roommate's iPhone X. Went through the washer. Phone did a good job at keeping out the liquid, but...a little bit got in through the earpiece and killed the proximity sensor which caused the phone to bootloop. Apple refused to repair it at any price, and try as I might I couldn't get it to work with the proximity sensor still attached, so I removed it. Which unfortunately also meant Face ID no longer worked. And because Apple is so hardcore on serializing their parts, means the poor thing will never work 100% again even though a simple screen swap at an Apple store would be enough to bring it back fully. So it goes. Glad to see the Pixel 6 made a full recovery. And in contrast to Apple's stuff it doesn't scream at you for using a 3rd party screen, or a replacement fingerprint reader (after recalibration, of course).

[@higihups]

Would Apples self repair be an option with that? While not cheaper than them repairing the phone, it could work again, as they will pair the new parts for you remotely.

[@oliver_lauritsen_oa]

Google just told Samsung they want the worst and cheapest screens for the pixel 6 and it's the worst phone I ever had it was full of bugs and Bluetooth didn't work

[@srinithin4894]

The screen was bit cheap but everything else was on point for me

[@NighteeeeeY]

is it not ip68 rated?? how could it be damaged by couple of seconds in water? weird.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah I know right, I was so surprised that a little dip was all it took. Yes it's IP68 rated

[@sheikhsabbir190]

bro nailed it

@@RestoreTechnique I found an adapter, and also found out that I can replace the huge DVD Multi IV (approx. 28% of the device's whole size) with a SATA HDD or SDD, but I would probably get an HDD if I don't have an SSD combiner RAID-like thingy but physical.

It isn't BS, As long as the device is in one piece and the glue is okay, it is water resistant.

Isn't pixel 6 waterproof?

It's supposed to be, but water resistance can degrade over time, depending on temperature changes and such. I was not impressed with how easy it caved

[@RahandAbubakr_]

check the new phone add 3.5 jack

[@kismiati3003]

Try experimenting with Android using an Apple chipset

[@ansar-_-7988]

6:38 I think you need to remove the battery first.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yes, but it's a stupid design where you need to remove the battery just to get the motherboard out. When the only thing preventing the board removal is 1mm of battery flex cable protruding.

[@4n0nym0u5]

I am willing to bet on this. It's the piss and shit juices that got the screen. The phone is IP68 rated afterall, it can't be water.. right?

[@AbhishekKumar-yq5kp]

My friend samsung s21 was damaged same like this, my iPhone is much better I went to swimming with for hours nothing happened.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah I think iPhone's water proofing is better, the screen is fastened down with clips, not just adhesive, so there's less stress on the adhesive, which is important if it deteriorates over time. The lightning port is also screwed down tight against it's adhesive.
