Hugh, Snapdragon based Note 4s (N910F being the most well known example) were notorious for no power issues due to eMMC slowly failing. You could swap in a 910C mobo w/ camera and have a happy Note 4.

I'm pretty sure I know what seller this is, as I recently took a chance and bought a 2nd Gen iPad Pro from them at reasonable price. I seem to have been incredibly fortunate, as the device was in very reasonable condition with no nasty surprises. I was worried that perhaps the battery would be problematic, but again, thankfully it holds charge quite well for its' age. My stomach dropped when I saw the listings, though. Complete minefield.

I do my own bypasses but only on wifi only devices as the apple ID on these is paired to the serial number, Bluetooth and wifi Mac addresses. On cell devices the account is tied together with the IMEI which is stored on the baseband and can't be programmed with the method I use. There's a few cell iPads (gen 4 and lower) that I do a resistor mod on which works well but isn't really worth doing now unless I get them in a bulk lot for next to nothing.

[@floppa9415]

Your Note 4 probably has an EMMC Issue. Its sadly a very common issue especially on the Snapdragon 805 variants. Basically due to bad solder joints the Note 4's EMMC memory chip can loose connection causing the phone to be dead. It can however be fixed by reballing the EMMC chip. I myself got a lot of 6 N910F Note 4's and 3 had this issue. I got 2 at least working by swapping boards and displays. *Edit : I meant N910F. The N915F of is the Note Edge. It also suffers from the same issue tough :/

[@wilyamiyoo]

Sadly even the Exynos chips had this issue. I had the N910C and it also died from a suspected eMMC failure.

[@unliving_ball_of_gas]

What about the Samsung S4 Exynos variant? I have one and once dropped it on the street years ago, since then the phone randomly reboots while I'm using and it got worse to the point where it seems to bootloops but sometime manages to boot, but only for a few minutes before it shuts down on its own. I always thought that I might have made something loose inside.

[@phoneguyyt4636]

Tomato pureé

[@therealdaniboi]

I noticed the S4 is GT-I9505 model. The reason why the screen acts up when you press the back part of the board because the midframe of the new screen could be for a different model of the S4 and causes some components to touch a part of the midframe causing a short. Samsung used to revise the midframe, charging sub-boards and logic boards for different countries where it was sold in the past. For it to work flawlessly, you'd need a matching screen/midframe assembly and a charging port intended for a GT-I9505 S4. EDIT: I suddenly remebered, the purple screen/midframe assembly is intended for a GT-I9500 (Exynos non-LTE) variant. The logic board you have is a GT-I9505 (Snapdragon LTE enabled). Using an Exynos logic board on a GT-I9505 midframe and vice-versa causes the screen to turn off when the back part is pressed. And when you try to screw everything back together, the screen won't work at all.

[@NSHG]

Actually, his purple frame was for the 2.3GHz GT-i9506. I've had a 9506 board in a 9505 casing and charging port. It worked, but you had to be careful with the power button as it would reset if you pushed harder on it. Later traded it for a S3 Neo i9301. Not even to this day the chap who accepted the trade didn't even call me back on the issue.

[@therealdaniboi]

@@NSHG oh okay. I used to repair S4s back in the day. Just a hobby though. Buying screens with midframes for the S4 can be a pain if they send you the wrong part. Especially when dealing with Korean variants. So I do the tedious task of separating the screen from the midframe so I can transfer it to another midframe for it to work properly. I broke several screens before I got the hang of it. 😂

For my experience filing extra material from bracket fixes issue. Taping doesn't prevent this issue because wrong shape of bracket bends motherboard. Compare original and new part and use dremel to cut materia off.

[@Plainapple287]

I did this recently, I bought an iPhone parts lot and turns out they were all horribly water damaged, can’t return because they were sold as for parts, sadly they were sold as “untested” and I didn’t see the major red flags. Also I may have an explanation for the S7 edges not powering on, I had a lot of S7’s which most didn’t power on, and my main S7 developed the same issue. The PowerIC or the RAM goes bad, the device goes into a boot looping state before just not taking power properly, it can’t regulate the power properly

It's frankly astounding how Samsung just gets a pass for having used displays for years - even until fairly recently - that become unusable after just a few years of use. This is not an issue with most screens. I get that OLED has advantages, but this is a massive downside that rarely gets talked about. I remember people used to excuse the issue as some fringe issue that most people will never run into, but years later that's proven to be false - it's very common.

[@DrifterThrifters]

Still better then apple

[@azenyr]

My experience is the complete opposite. A LOT of my friends used Samsung phones all their life, some low end, some mid end but mostly high end S and Note lines. Zero problems. The only time I heard something happening with one of their phones was only one friend that broke the screen of his S20 and had to replace it, and was actually shocked for it not being that expensive to fix, with a genuine brand new display. Was like 150€. Other than that, absolutely zero problems. However my gf owned iPhones all her life and she buys a new one every 1-2 years because her last one breaks in some random way that apple wont fix or its not worth it. Her current iPhone 13 (not pro) already has a broken volume up key. It wont even physically click, feels stuck, she has to use the quicksettings to turn up the volume. I guess it really is how you handle phones, how many falls or physical stress you subject them to, and maybe also a dose of luck. My gf is always dropping her phone and that is a huge explanation why all her iPhones break to unfixable ways in a year. She uses glass screen protectors and bulky cases on purpose because of this, but the impacts of it constantly falling eventually start messing up with the internals. Some people even without noticing put a lot of strain on their phones hardware. The charging port is a great example, people often put a lot of strain on that port by using bad cables or pulling on them too hard or whatever.

@Ellis The DJ You don't work outside in full sunshine much then

And none of us want to use Apple Agreed, most of these issues happen outside the 12 month or 24 month normal contract period.

The main problem with resellers of damaged devices on eBay is that some people think what they have is worth more than it really is or they are looking for someone to buy who doesn't know up from down. I don't think 150 was too much to pay, but since the seller was dishonest, then perhaps the price could have been lower.

[@strayiggytv]

This. And if your selling a for parts lot and somebody asks you a specific question you need to be truthfully about the condition or truthfull that you're too lazy to check. Nothing makes me more angry than people who lie about the condition of stuff they sell in the hopes the buyer won't follow up. If you can't be a$$3d to know the condition of your own inventory you shouldn't be selling it full stop.

[@ApO__]

Brilliant job, man! I have one question about those older Samsung phones with removable back panels. Is there an easy way to make them run without a battery? I have made some attempts at that using small buck converter, but after the phone boots up with some percentage of battery, that percentage slowly starts to go down, even though the power supply is more than enough. Any ideas?

[@oldfag_adventures]

i'm no expert or professional but i think the batteries have hardware in them that helps the phone know what the battery is at. with your current setup it doesn't have anything to tell it the state of the battery. you could try dismantling a battery (obviously carefully) to get the little board that handles the communications and then run power through, that might fix your problem but that's just an amateur's guess

[@The_hot_blue_fire_guy]

Why would you even do this? Besides just figuring out if it’s possible. Because I don’t think it’s very convenient if you have to stand next to a outlet when you want to use your phone.

Thanks for showing this video. I bought a very large iPhone/iPad/iPod and some non-Apple phones in 2016 from a large company with my at-the-time business partner. Whilst trying to book these in, we discovered that this lot were more faulty than expected ie: mainly iCloud locked. Being relatively new to iCloud locked devices I thought I could unlock them. My business partner offered his half to me and I accepted and paid him for his half. So 7 years later (2016-2023) I have invested ~$20k of stock and I am just under $10k return. This does not include my time to process the equipment, advertising fees, free postage, etc, so a $10k loss thus far. I may do a video on this one day...

That kind of ripoff is a fairly common thing in the states of what I have seen. I have never heard of such ripoff in Sweden.

Say curious question but would it be possible to fix a potentially water damaged laptop for you, because I happened to have one.

What do you usually search for on eBay to get lots like these?

What do you have against burned in screens? I have been using my badly burned Galaxy S8 for 4 years now and I dont mind them at all 😁👍
