[@MrHowardMoon]

I've heard the EU are bringing in a law that forces smartphone/tablet manufacturers to use the same charging port to cut down on e-waste and to prevent people having to buy a new charger for each device they use. Not sure how Apple will deal with it as I'm assuming the EU will go with either micro-usb or USB-C.

[@MegaBlackhandfan]

@@MrHowardMoon It's USB-C and it passed. And Apple HAS to give a non proprietary option. As MagSafe is proprietary, and there is no wireless charging standard that everybody uses right now, Apple is FORCED to use USB-C ports on their new devices at around late 2023.

The right to repair is so important, States must take a stand to support legislation to allow people to fix products they own with legitimate OEM parts and thereby shutting down the fake parts sellers. This in not just electronics or batteries; It includes mechanical parts for appliances, cars, and farm equipment.

You do understand ( or maybe you don't... ) that the trend is already to the contrary. In Britain they've already tried ( and maybe have by now ) made it an offense to make modifications to a motorcycle. Have you ever heard of the state named California? It's their more-strict restrictions on virtually everything ( except children selling their bodies on the street ) which have inexorably begun to spread like a cancer throughout other states. Either through their influence with their market-share of sales on manufacturers eager to lower inventories who just say "heck with it---make everything we make CaCompliant and pass on the costs" or through their unwitting emissaries who go to other states to escape the Californian regulatory/taxation excesses but in their new lodgings immediately insist that the Californian plugged-nose pig occasionally found some acorns and that's why you had Texans sitting in their barkaloungers succumbing to hypothermia because those "green" wind-turbines which work perfectly well in the California climate don't function when the temperatures go so low that you observe a type of snow you've never seen B4 in your whole 3score&7. This whole you-can't-because[fill-in-the-blank] cancer has long-ago metastacized. I don't think it's legal for me to effect a whole host of home repairs I've been doing all my life in the heart of the midwest unless I hire a licensed contractor to do them. I'm the guy who has sat there and watched licensed contractors "fix" things and then, when they weren't fixed fixed it myself and had the major appliance work longer afterward than it did to it's first mean-time-to-failure. But legally, i can't do that now. And it's not because the local taxing authority gives a rat's ass if I suffocate on CO or get electrocuted because my non-GFCI-protected outlet is too close to a faucet. It's because they believe this to be a way of forcing upgrades to real property improvements and keeping their tax base up. And what better way to destroy the element of self-reliant can-do HR nature of our unique national culture, eh? To hell with "great". Make America AmeriCAN Again.

almost true. they dont make extras for sale so its out of a doa fone like from a carrier. most parts are stripped carrier returns that are icloud or google locked . otherwise somebody reverse engineers and makes the parts. takes about 6months to get a good working aftermarket part. in some cases the aftermarket part is better because its newer tech and not ripped out of a dead fone

Great video! I think this is an important topic for people to understand, regardless of how tech-savvy you are. Working in the repair industry, I urge people to use legitimate sources when it comes to getting a repair done, regardless if they do it themselves or not. For example, I had a gentleman come into our store today with a ZTE phone. His charging port went bad, so he went to some "repair shop" to get it looked at (he didn't know/disclose the shop). They tore down the device, desoldered the port, then said they couldn't get the parts and had this gentleman a box with his phone torn down. I'm disappointed that someone would put this guy in a position like this. Especially since he's older. I said to him that he should come to us in the future for any needs as we would never do that to a customer, regardless if we were able to resolve their situation. So again, I urge you.

Having the replacement done at some shop is worse.

When Sony and Ericsson split, Sony kept the labeling scheme for their batteries mostly similar, including the yyWww datecode (at least to the point where they started gluing batteries in as well)

[@adamfullerton3821]

This was a very well done video and I enjoyed it. However I just want to point out that your BN930 battery looks like a second generation Note 7 Battery, not the first generation prone to fire. Most cell phones nowadays have a rectangular motherboard or L-shaped motherboard with a rectangular battery aligned right up against the edge of the board. The Note 7 had no faults in its board design other than its shape, which indirectly caused the battery issue. The Note 7 board is nearly an L-shape, but with a "cut corner". As a result of having two 45% angles in close proximity rather than a true 90 degree corner, the battery could not be shaped as a true rectangle and still fit in place without some wasted space. Two battery manufacturers were selected by Samsung to create matching pentagonal batteries, which looked like a standard rectangle with one cut corner. Neither manufacturer, nor Samsung, tested these flawed pentagonal battery designs thoroughly enough and the phone was rushed to market. Batteries from either source had the same defect which led to thermal runaway failures. After Samsung recalled millions of Note 7 phones, they solved the issue permanently by simply building a shorter rectangular battery. It was slightly lower capacity, but allowed them to safely refurbish every Note 7. The 100% safe, lower capacity phones were then sold as the Note Fan Edition. So if you see a rectangular N930 battery, that is technically a Note Fan Edition cell and not a Note 7 cell.

Anyone else remember the days when the battery was the entire back of the phone? You could buy a second battery with a charger that just charged the battery (like 18v battery tools do now) and you just rotated the batteries, one on the phone and one on the charger. Then we got to the golden age of phones where the battery tech had exceeded the capability of the phones, so one charge lasted you a whole week. Those were the days. These days smartphones chew so much power some of them are lucky to last the day without needing a charge.

When I was young most TVs and radios used vacuum tubes and most tubes were one of a half dozen common types. The local drug store had a tube testing machine with a stock of the most common tubes. Anybody could take all of the tubes from their radio or TV down to the store and test them. The testing machine had a meter with a needle that pointed to a green, yellow, or red area depending on the tube's condition. Tubes that tested as red were bad, yellow were weak, and green were good. After replacing the bad tubes the radio or TV would usually work for a few more years. Equipment that operates for decades is probably better for the environment thant ones that are easily recycled.

[@TheOzthewiz]

Those "tube testers" could only be trusted if the meter indicated "BAD" . Just because you got a "GOOD" reading did not mean the tube was good. The only real way to test a "GOOD" tube was by substituting a KNOWN good tube!

[@SuperMurrayb]

@@TheOzthewiz Thanks for responding to my post. Are you sharing what you have experienced or what you have read? In my case it was actual experience repairing radios, TVs, and one HP VTVM. In many cases the heater would go open and the tube would not glow when it was in circuit and was usually bad. If the tube was glowing it could still be bad and the tube tester gave some more information. In my experience in about 95% of the cases replacing a tube that tested bad caused the device to return to operation. In less than 1 case in 20 all tubes would test good but the device still wouldn't work properly. In those cases the quick tube test was just the beginning of the adventure.

The biggest scammers are the phone manufacturers like Apple and Samsung, who make the non-removable batteries a norm. Apple as the cherry on top, even encoded the batteries with serial numbers so that you can't even switch it from another iPhone of same model. This is because one of the main reasons people force to buy a new iPhone in one or two years is because the battery gets degraded. If they kept the battery removable, then their sales would have gone down to be dramatically low. So in conclusion, I don't think the serious scams are these cheap battery sellers who are trying to make a few bucks. The real scammers are the Apple or other giants, who intentionally designed their products in such a way that will be unusable after a certain time.

This is probably the biggest issue with long term repairability of devices: Each device has it's own battery type, and only "a few" are made by the manufacturer for 1-2 years. After that period, no new batteries of this type are made and you can only find counterfeits or scam "refurbished" batteries. Until there is a law that ALL lithium ion batteries must be standardized (like how disposable alkaline batteries are standardized), we are doomed.

I Officially labeled you as a propagandist now for not saying the most obvious reason why cell phone manufacturers make their batteries impossible to access! If you pull out the battery then they cannot know your location even when your battery is dead it is still pinging location to the cell phone towers! They don't want you being able to pull out your battery and keep them from pinging your location! It's all about full spectrum domination FSD! I'm officially unsubscribing and blocking you it was so easy to say this and you didn't say it you are a propagandist! That's why your video got recommended to me and that's why you have subscribers because you push BS propaganda!

Excellent video. Combustibg lithium batteries keep me up at night, so I'm very glad to see some sensible advice being spread.

[@ПётрПроценко-б3к]

Somebody just relaxed in regulation authorities. I live long enough to remember how they were standards for all types of batteries. Lithium ion batteries somehow became an exception from those regulations. We were betrayed by NIST, FCC, CFPB, ISO, Мостест, Росстандарт and others.

[@wolphin732]

Likely the companies lobbied to not have standards made... stating that they needed it so they could make them work "better"

Great video. I too have experienced the same thing with replacement laptop and dyson batteries. There was a seller on ebay selling replacement "high capacity" batteries for dyson vacuum cleaners claiming 3500 mah capacity. Once I took it apart, I found it was just 1500 mah. Reported that to ebay and they did nothing about it. In short, I believe most replacement batteries sold that come from china are bogus in some way. If sellers such as Amazon and eBay acted on this information, then a lot of these battery scams would disappear.

i have working phones from 2006, 2008, laptops from 2010... and the happiest lithium is a 60% lithium. I need to rotate my stock so they remain in use, lithium does not store very well, and the lighter the load, the more extended the life.

[@superfinster]

2:52 Jeez, how many spelling mistakes on that battery, considering they're supposed to be warnings ?! 'Rocycle' ~ 'risk of filre or burne' ~ 'Do not crunh' ~ 'tomperatures' 🙄🤣🤣

[@TheJaisonIpe]

Another thing i hate is manufacturers using a strong adhesive to stick the battery to the frame. The pull tabs are built to last only for one or two years. It's really dangerous to remove the battery as it can sometimes puncture the battery or damage the phones frame or display due to the pressure. I spent a good 5 mins trying to carefully remove the battery from my phone. I really miss the good old days when phones were easy to open and repair

[@nhancao4790]

One trick to use a hair-dryer and heat the screen (not the batttery itself) nice and warm and the adhesive should be much more pliable.

[@tombuck]

The spelling errors are egregious, but I’m not opposed to “tomperature” being used whenever I use a thermometer.

well yes, I only used to buy the cigarettes with the pregnancy warning on then, cos I, as a man couldn't get pregnant!!!! 🤣😅

[@harshbarj]

It's not just phone batteries, but any kind of battery. USB power banks are a massive source of fake batteries. I bought a pack that was advertised at nearly 40,000 mAh. I knew when I bought it that was a lie as I have real 40,000mAh packs that are over twice the weight. Sure enough after testing it was only around 17,000mAh. Still a deal for what I paid as 20,000mAh packs were selling for around the price I paid. It's been nearly 4 years and the pack is still going strong.

[@zaamuro8408]

I've experienced this with recent laptop battery replacement purchases. Does not have the capacity it should have, and drops in percentage suddenly. The sellers knows this so when the replacement was also shit, they gave a refund straight away.

[@fixingfaming]

Great video, more people need to be aware of these kinds of scams i see these crap batteries everywhere. They can cause some serious damage to your device or even you.

[@nikonlover1]

Not only that, but they are required by federal law to ship batteries with the warning labels, because they can start a fire, they have started fires, and people have died because of mislabeled or unlabeled batteries that were shipped without those warnings. There's a huge fine for that as well I believe, around $250,000 plus jail time.

[@Oseiwe]

I'm for the right to repair. Let the movement grow and gain traction. I would say governments have been a disappointment in this regard because this should be a no-brainer elementary right for people and good for the environment

My experience in replacing multiple phone and tablet batteries has been the opposite - most of the cheap replacement batteries I've bought online have been as good or better as the original manufacturer ones. I think part of the reason for this is that the manufacturers have a profit motive to place cheap, poor batteries in phones (lower manufacturing costs and encouraging replacement in about a year). To be fair, I think consumers have an unrealistic expectation of how long these batteries can last, especially at optimal performance. If you want to keep your phone or tablet going and your a heavy user, you really should replace the batteries every 1-2 years.

[@jimreilly6933]

I would love to know where you purchase these "good" batteries ! I have purchased five batteries online for my older 4rth. Gen. Ipod color type. All failed after only three Months sitting in the Ipod. Even with bi weekly charges.

at least walmart still makes there phones easily repairable, and you can still do the easy battery replacement without having to disassemble the whole phone.
