NEVER use PLASTIC gloves when repairing electronics, unless they are Anti-Static. They can destroy your phone. It may not show immediately but next time when your phone gets statick shock, it may be dead. I am Electronic Maintenace Engineer and I use cotton gloves, if needed but usually I don't use gloves at all.

It's been crazy without my phone as I am a global Traveller with most of my friends scattered around the globe, so I normally fuss with time zones and availability of friends. This time I had a black screen and a phone that would not charge. First time it happened so I found you Pedro and followed your video. Absolutely magic, all up and running. Very best to you. I subscribed; you know your stuff. Happy New Year to you and yours. I will charge it up full jump back on Whatsapp and start calling my friends offering a rather belated Happy Holliday's. Cheers.
