Just a quick thing to check. Make sure your storage isn't filling up fast on it, some Oneplus phones are writing large dump files and not deleting them afterwards. This causes the storage to fill up rapidly, LTT covered this issue a few months back.
0:46 normaly there should be a charger in the box since the 8Pro uses warp charge which requires a special brick and cable which they provide in the box
Although the spare parts weren’t cheap, I was impressed with how straightforward the repair process seemed to be. Especially when you compare it to Apple products. I have the oneplus 8, and can genuinely say l love the phone.
Great job Hugh! $5 for the adhesive kit seems ridiculously cheap - but then, not all of it was very useful so I guess you get what you pay for in terms of value!
If phone companies get to sell phones with no chargers, I expect a big "No Charger Included" written on the box if companies keep putting "Batteries Included" on boxes.
Happy New Year - and it's great to see that this device is getting a new lease of life! I suppose $AU 400 isn't that bad for a device like the OnePlus 8 - that equates to just over £225, so good value for money. If you had taken the route of selling online, rather than privately, I'm sure you would have seen a profit.
You've got golden hands, my man. In case with this phone I'd rather pay someone else to repair it for me. Absolutely painstaking process and it's easy to make a crucial mistake here. I almost see myself dropping some alcohol on the camera module while trying to remove old adhesive. Well done! Also happy new year everyone :3
I worked at a repair place for about 2 months and I watched half of the repairs get done super lazily. Main issue was reuse of seals and adhesive being common place. We didn't have all the tools we needed either, the owner just didn't get some of the stuff we needed. I got fired after I sent a lengthy angry email in response to a bogus wright up and as much as that sucks I'm glad to be gone.
I repaired an 8 pro earlier last year and I have to say, you are very lucky the display was an aftermarket. The original adhesive was so strong, that I burned and cut my fingers whilst removing it.
The original adhesive on OnePlus phones on the back is really tough to remove. When I replaced the battery of it myself, I wanted to make sure everything was as close to factory as possible, so I replaced the og adhesive with some official back adhesive as well, but like you said, it's tough to remove. I spent like 3 hours trying to remove it with a spudger and some regular isopropyl alcohol.
Same here, it is a nightmare, I tried everything from goo gone to acetone to IPA and nothing seemed to work very well on that hulk strength adhesive, my method was soak in IPA and scrub with a q tip until it got dirty, I think I went through 100 to get the stuff off
The new adhesive for the display you bought might have not been sealed properly, so particles got into it and made it less effective. Pain, but you got around to it anyway :P
Nice video Hugh and a Happy New Year to you. I've repaired a few OnePlus phones and I do like them but prices for parts for the later models here in the UK have gone through the roof. So unless I can pick up a faulty phone for peanuts it's not really a viable repair here.
Trick for making pre cut adhesives stick better. Run a heat source over the adhesive for just a few seconds. Heating it up will make the adhesive stick and when you put the devices back together it will spread out more for a better seal due to the pressure 😊
@@exploringeverything8221 no he did it correctly. It has more to do with the quality of the adhesive. Some of the precut adhesives are just cheaper quality or have been sitting on shelves for months/years causing them to cure/harden so they need a little heat to get them ready
Apropos iphone connectors, have you seen where 30 pin and lightning connectors are swapped, on phone? Most adaptors are impractical for my use case- using expensive plug in microphones with 30 pin plugs like the iXY on more recent phones.
These water indicators are useless. I've had countless phones which have never seen water but the indicators were red when I took them apart because the phone was in my pocket during Summer while I was out. They are too sensitive and should be made to turn red when water actually contacts them not when it's a little foggy outside or I use the phone while taking a bath or when I have the phone in my pocket and sweat a little. Pro-tip: use a USB-C hub to connect a mouse to the phone when the screen doesn't respond. Should help with data recovery and or turning off some phones which can't be turned off by keeping the power button pressed(looking at you, LG)
Hello Hugh, please make more videos on custom ROMs please. Would be greatly appreciated as I find these videos to be very entertaining and interesting. From your content, I always learn something new! Happy new year!
Idk if it will work but perhaps when placing the precut adhesive. You either place it on your heatplate or hairdry it. Maybe it can reactivate the stickiness?
I must point some mistakes you've made based on my knowledge so we can all be better tommorow. 1) After disconnecting the battery, press the power button several times to discharge any electricity. This is to prevent shorts 2. If possible, replace the water damage indicator 3. This is uncommon but sometimes the pre-cut adhesive needs to be heated with the right amount of heat to make it sticky again. (If you're replacing them with 3M tapes, just ensure that the tape is not too thick) 4. To make it more cleaner, wipe off residual liquid adhesive *BEFORE* it starts to harden. You may use a tiny amount of alcohol and maybe use cotton beads for it. But using alcohol after replacing the new screen is risky, so be responsible if you want to 5. Again, cleaning anything using alcohol is risky after replacing the screen. Try avoid using it because even one drop of alcohol could ruin the entire display if it makes contact
It's interesting that this OnePlus boots without the wireless charger being connected. When i was changing the battery on my xiaomi mi 10 and tried to test it if it boots after the change nothing happened. I had to connect the wireless charger too before it would actually boot. I got so scared that I had broken something. But then it worked luckily
Clumsy people who don't use robust phone cases really trigger me 😩 Terrible phone repair booths with rubbish skills are even worse !! 😠😠 I hope your family member gets a good case for it, as it's a fragile design !
BRUH.. 400 Kangaroos is equivalent to 290 Freedom Bux i thought easy phone repairs like a screen were like anywhere from 60-120..not the price of a brand new fucking phone, holy shit
You've got golden hands, my man. Here’s to another year of repairing all these phones and tech products Hugh! Well done. Hopefully, 2023 would be an interesting year for phone repairs.
nice repair of this oppo 8 pro phone, btw i have oppo 9R . Yeah oneplus was being made by oppo but now their software is also color os after 12 version , i am so sad and angry about it .
I have the Oneplus 8 Pro as my current daily phone. It's a great phone and is still going strong after a couple of years. I didn't realise it had wireless charging, not that I would use it anyway. The design looks more straightforward and repairable than other makes.
I have this phone in the same condition as that one, sitting in my drawer broken. In Canada the cheapest I can find a replacement display for is around $400 on Amazon from a questionable source. Ifixit has no stock on the one you used. Repairing the 8 pro will cost me almost the price of 2 LG V60's which is what I have now.
I bought a one plus 8 pro a couple days ago for £200 in almost new condition came with box and original charger. I got sick of using iOS so I needed android back and I'm loving it
Hugh may i ask where did you get the display and adhesive from? Ive recently went to a local repair shop to change out the display on a 8 Pro that i gifted to my dad, but the shop didn't glue in the display properly and left a gaping hole next to a dent. Was wondering if i could get some adhesive to re apply secure it myself.
99% of the time I use my own adhesive similar to the way you did Hugh. Just can't trust the kits in my opinion. The last thing you need is a repair coming back because the display is falling off.
When I saw that amount of adhesive on the back I instantly knew the phone would have water damage lol. Whoever sold that phone knew what they were selling I think.
Here’s to another year of repairing all these phones and tech products Hugh! Well done.
It’s too bad one plus’s made this phone right after the 7 pro witch had a pop up camera
The screen is the most valuable part. If you find a One plus phone with a pristine screen but the rest is broken, repair is cheap.
Just a quick thing to check. Make sure your storage isn't filling up fast on it, some Oneplus phones are writing large dump files and not deleting them afterwards. This causes the storage to fill up rapidly, LTT covered this issue a few months back.
that was patched ages ago, and only affected the 9 series
@@Ignacio.Romero no it's not fixed yet
@@aryaanparwez9909 yes it is
@@Ignacio.Romero you own an OP9? Because I do and there's 40gb of duplicate storage for a year now.

I'd love a $51 OnePlus 8 Pro. Hugh gets all the best finds.
It's actually 400$
Replacement screen expensive
Your videos are always very satisfying on a number of levels. Thank you for everything you're doing.
As a fellow techie, it's always a delight to watch a master at work!
So good to see someone repairing broken phones and giving them a second life. Good job.
I just love the way Mr Hugh does his work. Always leaning towards the perfection as possible. Well done man.
0:46 normaly there should be a charger in the box since the 8Pro uses warp charge which requires a special brick and cable which they provide in the box
impressively enough, there are already 12 comments, one minute EXACTLY after posting the video. this shows you've got some loyal viewers, Hugh.
Wonderful work as always, it's really great to see someone breathing life back into these broken devices
To all the poor phone repair guys watch the way this guy does the job so neatly. Wishing you a very happy new year Jeff❤❤
Your videos are honestly never boring, TBH, I always like to see repair videos from you, keep up the amazing work!
Hey, Hugh. Hope you had a good time this year 2023.
happy new years hugh

Great job Hugh! $5 for the adhesive kit seems ridiculously cheap - but then, not all of it was very useful so I guess you get what you pay for in terms of value!
It's not really worth even $5, but it's respectable compared to some other sellers.

Samsung, Google, pay attention.

You have what we in the trade call skill issue
@@kiyoponnn meh, maybe.
I think I'm able to repair most of the phones, but this one is still kinda too painful for me
i replaced the screen on xiaomi mi 11 which is even worse lol
@Chitrai Rajan oh iphone is easier than xiaomi where u have to use glue lol
@@MkwRaThe bigger pain had to be a price of the display😂. Who gave you the phone or how you broke it? Screen on Mi 11 is one of the most expensive.
When I did my S10+ a few weeks ago I spent two solid, long, ardouous hours scraping and cleaning adhesive. It was well worth it.
That rear adhesive is brutal, never seen more stubborn adhesive in my life
Well done! I admire your patience. With the Pixel 6a approaching the $500 mark it is going to be tougher every day. Learned a lot. Hugh Thanks!

What kind of special type of adhesive are they using? Samsung back adhesive can be easily scrubbed off with alcohol

Did the same thing with a OnePlus 7t a couple of years ago! For some reason OnePlus phones can be great fixer candidates
