Trying to FIX a Broken $2.5K Lamborghini Luxury Phone

[@alanharris2799]

The irony of fixing a $2500 phone with a 1pence bit of plastic from a recycle bin is brilliant

[@Random_4400]

ikr

[@cynaptyc]

That's why I love this channel! Just straight up practical do it yourself repair! Learning something new every time I watch. His thinking outside the box at times is just on the spot!

[@abzhuofficial]

Thanks for the SPOILER. Now I wanna watch this video from start to finish

[@emptytomb4967]

i thought that the black cushion pads on the volume may have been what they had underneath the power button.

[@ElektroTechNL]

Haha yes some one els will ask allot off money for this fix xD.

[@MikeB_UK]

Vince, you are a brave man to start attacking a phone that cost you almost £300 with no prior info or help. Hats off that you got into it with virtually no damage. Well done. Love all your videos.

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks Mike 👍👍👍

[@elliotcoll]

What a result! You must be very pleased with that. Now you can tell people you own a Lamborghini.

[@Mymatevince]

I've made it 🤣

[@vWinDev]

@@Mymatevince your so funny and @Elliot Coll your so funny.

[@carlosvela5486]

Lol! Da boys will be like: "so where's the ride...?" Vince takes out Lamborghini phone and enters UBER app. "There's the ride..." P.S. awesome fix btw, love when sometimes it's something SO simple

[@GadgetUK164]

LOL!!!

[@PaulKingIII]

Ayeeee ahahahah

[@TampaTec]

Lamborghini should stick with cars. Now You can put this on your resume you worked on Lamborghinis! 👍

[@Mymatevince]

🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@60gregma]

From some of the videos I have seen, their cars are even worse.

[@David-uq2uk]

Ferrari are better than Lam's

[@Tronicsfix]

Really enjoyed this one Vince! This was a great idea for a video. Nice work

[@vWinDev]

Agreeable

[@Mymatevince]

Cheers Steve, glad you liked it 👍👍👍👍

[@simarriott524]

It really melted my heart hearing you say “my son will love this”. Reminded me of my dad fixing up old toys in our garden shed for me when I was a kid.

[@curbyi76]

As sadly a enforced retired electrician, I love to hear someone else insists on having a vertical screw finish, something drummed into me as an apprentice. I believe your background is telecoms Vince I'm sure your cabinets were immaculate.

[@philsinclair]

How many people were like “oooooooo, please don’t snap” when vince was taking it apart!?😂

[@emptytomb4967]

ikr, then he would have been gutted, lol.

[@chriskukowski398]

I definitely held my breath several times, and loved when he was just hoping to find another screw under the adhesive strip hahah totally been there.

[@andreilucian10]

As a person who SNAP more than 10lcd screens...i`m one of those person :)))

[@MrRuralJuror]

I’d argue the fix wasn’t a bodge if it ends up being more reliable than it originally was. Great job as always Vince! 👍

[@gabrielh9886]

Really enjoyed this one Vince. The process of getting it open had my fingers clenching and seeing the phone come on after your repair was so satisfying. Congrats m8! Now I'm craving to do some phone repairs myself

[@damarioYT]

The pure luck of having a small fault not related to the phone itself is amazing. Good find!

[@johnlake6321]

You’re a bloody star Vince!! I love your attitude to the jobs you get. You’re not easily deterred. And very inquisitive.

[@johnperalta9415]

That's quite a common issue on old samsung S series phones. I've fixed a lot of those using the same method but using the discarded part of a nylon cable tie

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks John, a small cable tie would have worked nicely on this one too, might be a longer lasting fix as well 👍👍👍

[@HavingFunRepairs]

Reminded me a bit of higher end LG builds. Was surprised to hear that wasn't the case. Jeremy Clarkson would have probably called that power button design "ambitious, but rubbish". 🤣 Wonderful repair as always.

[@Mymatevince]

😂👍👌 Cheers HFR

[@89ludeawakening1]

It's just a rebranded ZTE Axon 7

[@HavingFunRepairs]

@@89ludeawakening1 thanks I had to look up the spec comparison after watching. ZTE isn't as well known in the States as it is in the UK or even Europe for that matter. Least from what I've gathered having lived in all three regions.

[@UnbelievablyBased]

It kinda looked like a cross between an LG g4 and a Sony Xperia

[@markellii3093]

Makes sense it's a zte, looked like a cheaper xiaomi.

[@MrAsBBB]

The guy who owned this originally may well have just gone out and got another one.This was so enjoyable. Perseverance , patience and intelligence is what you have in bucket loads. Well done!

[@samuelwilliams8575]

This is actually my favourite kind of fix. My technical ability is far surpassed by my inability to take defeat well! Good perseverance getting the back off!

[@danashcroft961]

Buy the other two fix 'em and sell em and pay the cost of the whole lot and the one you kept with the resale profits. Nice fix. Totally agree with your point about working on phones they are a chinese puzzle usually, especially this one seeing as it was made in China. You are totally right about the collectability and future rarity of these. Well done...

[@AbsiA7]

mate i love your videos as someone from the uk who buys random stuff to buy and fix your an actual inspiration to me and id love to learn from you

[@MrTurtlebar]

Vince, each time you take a chance you seem to find a way. Where others might give up you persevere and much smarter then you give yourself credit for! Keep up the repairs and keep delighting us with the videos capturing your adventures.

[@pegtooth2006]

What a feel good video! everyone is happy because Vince is a bulldog of 'Depistage' and gives a ton of thought. vegetable oil fryer containers cut into strips is also a nice shim for the low end output of garden equipment. Vince never gives up!

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

Vince,you are way smarter then you give yourself credit for ! i love people like you,the ability to fix things is such a good trait,keep doing what you do,i wish more people were like this ☹

[@Mymatevince]

Thank you Mike 👍👌

[@SURGE101]

What a result vince, great fix. That startup screen is brilliant, my favourite bit of the phone. That phone really is something special. Great fix and video👍

[@Mymatevince]

Nice one Rich, cheers 👍👍

[@michaleus]

I find your videos incredibly reassuring. The variety of products and the fun is first rate. Fantastic work Vince. Greetings from Czechia, country located in central Europe.

[@michaeldoyle7444]

Nice one Vince, I love it when a bodge comes together

[@ChickensinHighDef]

I can't remember how long I've watched your videos, but every single time a new one pops up, it makes my day. Cheers from America!

[@Liltinyant1977]

The sheer guts to attempt a repair on such an expensive, exquisite phone is to be commended nevermind you only went and cracked it. Great video as always.

[@Steve_Hallett]

As a mechanical fitter. Back in my youth, if we scratched the blacking off of anything, we used to give the area a quick dab with a permanent marker. It covers up the marks well and would take your eye off any damage on the screws you tried to undo 👍.

[@TheSteviesimpson1]

Great video, I love jerry rig everything and loved the endeavour to get this sorted. New fan. 👍

[@virgildeklerk]

Wow what a perfect fix, really love how you fix things without any experiance with this device, the way you analyse and proceed.. just amazing to watch. well done Vince

[@UltimatelyEverything]

What a great fix this was who would have guessed it would be this simple and easy to fix? It's a nice phone as well i hope your son enjoys it and another successful fix from Vince that's a thumbs up from me.

[@mr_spacedout713]

Hey Vince. Thanks again for all your hard work and continue to bring us all great content. Cheers🍻

[@livefreeprintguns]

Congrats on the fix, very cool!

[@rorykelly8275]

Mate that is not a bodge job. It’s better than from the factory. Great ingenuity from you. Great job and great video as usual. You have come a long way since you first started out. Proud of ya man.

[@LifewithLewy]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I was watching a PS4 repair and stepped out of my house. Came back in to this on. Nice random sub!

[@GarthBeagle]

Amazing! And ironically I also used a cut off square of plastic from a fruit container to fix something yesterday, brilliant minds think alike 👍

[@Mymatevince]

👍👍👌

[@jaythfc]

Absolute Quality Vince 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jgodfrey]

An entertaining and satisfying cheap fix for a very expensive phone. Enjoyed this one!

[@benbrown2185]

Good job as always! The phone is based on a ZTE Axon 7, you should get some spares for that if you need to.

[@justcallme00oogy]

I was gonna say this! I had that phone and replaced parts on the inside several times and it's so funny how they essentially rebranded a phone known for being inexpensive (although very good for the time)

[@speedwaynutt]

@@justcallme00oogy Cheaper phone probably gives them more $$$$$ from sales

[@sranang-kino]

well done , this problem also exist on Samsung S5 and S4 models , and a bit of cardboard brings it back to life ..nice work really , Your son is the boss with this phone ,

[@davebr7104]

Well done vince good to watch and learn

[@davidgray9195]

Well done on fixing this. Love watching all your videos weather its a fix or a fail You've gave me the brave to attempt to fix some of my own broken items.

[@Drewniversed]

@24:50 always my favorite bit! Is my hunch correct? No? GACK! ok what's weird.. ah.. its worn. This is something that happens to me on the job daily. Love it.

[@rotgarg5308]

Well done! Very smart fix.

[@tomjohn4687]

Absolutely brilliant! So glad you could get this one fixed, and rather simply too! Beautiful phone

[@willrobinson7599]

Great video vince . Enjoyed watching u figure out how to take apart and bonus only a simple fix

[@ColossulTitan]

Brilliant fix Vince,totally agree with you aswell that it's definitely going to be worth a penny or 2 in a few years

[@dadwillfixit1907]

Amazing video mate great fix 👏👏❤️❤️

[@wannabemgtow2540]

That was a really brilliant repair, I thoroughly enjoy the video thank you.

[@sk8element1919]

Excellent video!!! Love the jerry rigging hahaha Again, an amazing way to showcase how unfortunate it is to throw away big ticket items cause of something as simple as a worn piece of plastic that literally just pushes a button hahaha. Love it!

[@sleepysnoot8881]

Vince, you came a long way. Back in ye olde days, I can remember you fixing simple stuff - cheap electronics...Now a Lamborghini!

[@doslover]

Wow, no surprise that the big ol' wobbly power knob with a little bumper under it failed (and must be common if the seller had two others). Nice job breaking into it with no reference anyway!

[@hydrolisk1792]

You literally fixed a 2500 quid device with literal rubbish. Brilliant mate

[@kikihobbyrepair]

Really amazing fix Vince. This phone deserves the new life.

[@Mymatevince]

Thank you Kiki 👍👍👍👍

What camera setup do you use for your micro soldering?

[@damoville66]

This was the most savage scrappy repair I've ever seen. .

Love it when a plan comes together and dads a hero for another day

[@GadgetUK164]

Awesome =D Really pleased you could fix this, and the solution was perfect imo =D Crazy price for what it is lol

[@Mymatevince]

It is crazy, strangely it is the high price that probably makes it attractive to own. At least after the heartache of getting into it I was rewarded with a really easy fix 👍👍

[@shevshep]

Love it! and looking forward to the "premium brand" playlist. Thanks greatly Vince for the "infotainment"

[@chriskukowski398]

I loved that you could see your signs smile in the reflection, I don't have kids, but shit like this makes me want em just for those amazing moments. Great dadding man!

[@MyRetroWatches]

Only just had this one recommended to me by YT mate. Brilliant fix! Did you give it to your son in the end?

[@Mymatevince]

Cheers Mike, I did, it is still in his room, but only used as a display piece rather than a phone. Cheers for watching 👍👍

[@U.N.K]

i'm addicted to repairing videos

[@ingog.8424]

This 2500$ smartphone looks a lot like it isn't waterproof. One could think not having waterproofness is in any way a form of luxury.

[@jamesdougan8789]

just getting a earphone jack is a luxury these days on the new phones

[@schmutz1g]

When you pay that much for a phone for status, you don't care if its waterproof. you'll just buy a new one. Most luxury items aren't very durable for this reason.

[@acumenium8157]

No phone is waterproof. The most "waterproofed ones" will succumb to water damage. It's just that they hold it off slightly and have indicators to tell the repairer/recycler it was water damage.

[@Burn377]

@@acumenium8157 I've got a galaxy s8 that spent a week at the bottom of a creek 2 years ago and it still works to this day, I also washed it under a tap weekly. Just opened it last week to put a new battery in it (So it's not waterproof anymore) But there was no evidence of ingress after all those years. It just kicks around on the bench now paired to my thermal cam.

[@2010ngojo]

It's based on a Chinese phone, and made back in 2017. Don't expect waterproof to be a norm for these "boutique" phones. You're more likely to fine rare metals and gems on these phones than waterproofing.

[@skyway73]

Brilliant work, love that it was fixed by something from your bin! Tremendous 👏👏

[@michelk1445]

Great repair 👍

[@mikeysgametime8914]

You some kind of genius, good vid bro, the button was grounding out, always fix the simple things first

[@isthkar123]

nicely done very relax to watch and very done

[@StezStixFix]

Wow! That thing is beautiful. Amazing how tricky it is just to get to a faulty button, but you made it look easy, Vince! 😊 I remember a Bentley themed phone from working in my previous job, I think it was made by Vertu and it was jaw-droppingly expensive... Around £15k if I remember rightly. Not sure you'd be able to pick one of those up on eBay, but I really like the idea of these types of items for a mini-series. Great work 👍

[@Mymatevince]

I'll look into it Steve, that would be amazing if I could find one. Thank you👍👍

[@terminusaquo1980]

If I remember correctly Vertu was owned by Nokia as their luxury brand. It was eventually spun off as their own company but, as you can imagine, they weren't very profitable

[@mantelmann13]

Great fix, dude. It's so horrible how many devices could be rescued but are thrown away.

[@digihorse6730]

Bloody awesome Vince

[@superskier2]

One happy kid......Vince's lad is happy too. Nice.

[@johnproudlock2900]

$2.5K Lamborghini Luxury Phone fixed with a piece of plastic reclaimed from the bin unbelievable. Brilliant result vince

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

It's mostly those small things that damage more expensive items (mainly pecause of penny pinching during the design period). Back when the PS4 came out the trigger buttons on the (back then quite expensive) PS4 controllers wore out because Sony decided to save a fraction of a cent on each by removing some silicone. You could get one relatively cheap on ebay, they were fixable with a dot of silicone (the stuff used to seal gaps in bathrooms).

[@loteknomad5032]

Oh man. talk about a potential return on investment if you want to sell it down the line. Beyond the potential monetary value, this is a prime example of how much we might avoid throwing away or wasting if we had just some basic troubleshooting and tinkering skills. Who knows how many electronic devices have been thrown away, assumed "dead", when in fact all they needed was a tiny sliver of plastic in the right place, or a replaced bit of foam or rubber. :) Love your vids. Thanks for sharing these experiences with us.

[@pipodorologio1648]

really enjoyed your video on this Lambo phone...thanks for sharing

[@_packa_2731]

You should've removed the old thermal paste and get some new in there.. but great repair! I wouldn't know if I would have tried this. Thumbs Up! Best wishes from Germany

[@shaunbrown1402]

I love your videos, your not a pro, but your willing to have a go, same as me. All you need is a little knowledge about everything, and if not, a bit of working out. You can climb mountains like that. We'll done feller.

[@SpoojFritter]

In Dubai, this is the phone you would use to call your servant (so that they can bring you your actual expensive phone!)

[@dale8258]

That is without a doubt a Reskin of the ZTE Axon 7 which was an awesome budget flagship killer. Was a huge fan of that phone as it was so cheap and was fast as a Galaxy S7 which was THE android phone at the time. Really popular for the developers, budget phones and had very decent overall specs, for me the phone's Lamborghini theming is a bit intense but it's honestly still an Axon7 sort of kills the point of the original model tho being sold for thousands on release. Awesome display, Awesome speakers processor is a bit dated for now but it's honestly still a iconic device for any android enthusiast If you are curios with the software you might be able to see if anything from the XDA forum is compatible as I am sure it's just an Axon7 with a built in theme. But it's good to see you fixed on up, great job as always mate.
