1.when screen or back is cracked yo usually wanna cover it with tape so you get a better suction 2.in edge like phone the heat won't reach the edge as the phone is not laying flat

[@aishiijailani7920]

I wish your kind of genuine service was available in our city 😭😭 I've been using my S8+ for a year with a crack screen, I've always wanted to change it but services here are so shady, either overpricing or stealing internal parts without us knowing it 😭😭😭😭

gonna spend the last 2 hours of my night watching these videos so my sleep schedule isn’t even worse than it already is

[@Samurxii]

I remember getting a damaged s8 plus for $165 then paying $350 for SIM card tray, new screen, battery, and back glass for the phone. Wasted quite a bit of money.

[@Luke357]

Cheaper than buying a new one!

[@theoneandonlyfran]

Also pls feature repair for Galaxy Note9 broken screen and fingerprint sensor in the future. I will really look forward for that. Thanks Hugh Jeffreys and love lots from the Philippines. 😘

[@kztech1319]

For these samsung phones it is extremely important if you are transferring around parts, you must have the exact same variant on both (storage option can be different). Something like a Galaxy S4 or S5 has like half a dozen variants and mix and matching between them will give you anything from signal issues to just flat out not fitting right. This is ESPECIALLY important in the likes of US and China where there are a bunch of carrier specific variants!

[@ODUREMMANUEL]

Hey Hugh,awesome stuff...do you ever resell some of those fixed phones,would love to purchase this s8 in particular...:)

[@yanbakker8336]

Him: having everything he need like other screens, new back of the s8. Me: having nothing, how come the 30 dollar after spending 300 euros

Use clear shipping tape on the front to get better seal with your suction cup.

A tip may be to tape over the cracks. The suction cup should stick better.

Hey Hugh do I need to buy the ifixit toolkit or does any phone repair tool kit work??? Love your vids planning to make a small business off fixing electronic devices and your such a big help

[@worldhello1234]

Hey Hugh, where do you source your Amoled screens? Is it hard to get OEM quality?

[@luckiic5714]

You can buy them directly from Samsung

[@CresCoJeffToo]

It's quite curious: for the whole video I look forward to hearing the iconic "...and we're done!" at 7:17 but then I dread hearing "...and on that note..." less than a minute later since it means the video is going to end XD

[@buddyed]

Hey Hugh i love what you do. i have an s7 edge with the volume and power buttons which needs to be replaced but i am really skeptical. i cant even purchase the tools you use because ifixit doesn't ship to Cameroon . it frustrates me

[@TyphoonWarface]

use ebay ^^ cheaper, and ships everywhere.

[@buddyed]

@@TyphoonWarfacethanks bro

[@mj1henry1]

I just got a heat plate myself. Personally, I find that 100°C for 5 minutes works well. I can then stick a utility knife between the glass and then slip in a playing card. Works great so far.

Android is much more diverse, so I agree.

[@pilotkid2011]

If you have a shattered screen place packing tape over the screen and the suction cup works way better

[@thegsmsolution1]

inspiration for repairing.

[@lgjames35]

The best tool I've found for taking the back of the S8 is the corner of a scraper blade

[@user-mc7zt1gl5t]

Best video ever!

[@yeetmeister4336]

A simple fix for the suction cup problem is to put tape or a screen protector on the screen

[@wilson3246]

Where do you find all these broken/for parts devices? In the US, Swappa used to have a "Boneyard" for damaged devices but that's long gone.

[@dicksonlibau3236]

You should make a video on fixing iPhone touch id/home button

$30? Damn. I was just quoted over $100 to replace my cracked S8 display!

What type of alcohol do you have or using in cleaning electronic parts pleeeeeeeez????

[@jcolombo100]

I always find using an isesamo works much better than suction cup. Just obviously need to be mode careful not to scratch the frame of the phone

[@theoneandonlyfran]

Is this the same Galaxy S8 from the part lots of 3 Galaxy S8 that you showed us before?! Wow that's a badly broken screen though. Also I think the fastest way to remove the rear cover is to use a heat gun/a hair dryer. The heating machine was quite a bit inefficient. I still like the classic way of opening it which like I said is using a heat gun.

[@MinutMasine]

I am using s8 for 3 years already and it fell it was in watter ,dirt and filled with apps and files and always responsive . GG Samsung.

[@xtreme9942]

We want longer vids🙌

[@AndrewPulaTechRED22]

I have a galaxy s8 with a cracked front glass, but the display is still working fine. I think a bricked s8 doner would be fine if i would just transfer the internals to it. Than getting it reglassed or new panels.
