Always fun going through old phones... cleaning them, resetting them. Charity shops are a good place to get them. Let me know what you think! :) #Apple #iPod #Phone
For the white iPhone try these: 1. The battery may have too low charge to turn on even connected. Try connecting to a 10W charger for a couple of hours (2-3h). It may kick in. 2. If it doesn't. Try disconnecting the battery tab from the main board and plugging in a charger. If it turns on without battery and starts boot looping it probably is okay and the battery is dead. Cheers!
3:34 You're in luck with that one, not only it's an iPod Mini, but it's a 2nd gen one, considered one of the easiest iPods to mod to larger storages since it uses a HDD pinout similar to Compact Flash and can be expanded to a whoping 256GB. Not sure if you're interested on getting into iPods and changing the storage and battery, but it's a very nifty compact portable player.
A lot of newer Android phones, like circa 2016 and later, can emulate a ton of retro stuff. Could be useful for that. I'm pretty sure there's a market for old iPods too. The mini like you have in this video and the classic from your first phone bag you could probably repair and make a profit on.
Hello, Elliot, You can get an universal lipo clip-on charger with adjustable prongs for about 5 dollars from eBay like I did. The one with the LCD. That charger even detects the correct polarity. I use it almost every day and I always have it in my backpack as my old phone collection grows bigger and bigger. It helps me decide to buy a charger for the phone I have bought or not. If it does not work then I am not going to spend more money on it until I have fixed it.
@@windowsfan95 I'm sure it was meant as cheek, as the way Elliott put it, Sony released the walkman and Apple decided to go against it some 20 years later
"The Sony Walkman came out and then shortly after that the iPod was released." Just glossing over 21 years, nothing to see here! Just made me almost inhale my sandwich as you said it.
I felt the same thing was eating crisps. I even had to google how old the walkman is since it was in all those metal gear games (period specific tech was in it)
The iPod mini is actually fairly simple and fun to take apart. Id make sure to get a name brand or reputable battery. I got one on Amazon or eBay a bit cheap and it was a bit too cheap and doesn’t seem to last much better then the original! But really fun little iPods. Also really easy to swap an SD card instead of the little Flash cards those used. Can only get so many gigs of storage but still fun little iPods and cheaper to mod then others.
if you decide to work on the pink iPod mini make sure to watch plenty of repair videos on it to replace the battery, also i would suggest modding it with a compact flash card adapter and a micro SD card for more storage, these little iPod can store plenty of music with that and the battery last forever with the solid state memory compared to the small hard drive that is in it also the backlight was turned off in this video, you can turn that on in the settings and have a better looking display or for night use :) there is color mods for the display also if your up to it
This reminds me of my phone history( I am old) I had the Nokia's 3000s at the start of the 21st century then moved onto the Sony Ericsson system and had tons of accessories and chargers for them from Bluetooth headphone adapter to a GPS headphone adaptor, most stupid thing about them if you couldn't find a full size adaptor the tiny 2 port power adapter for accessories would fit as they only used 2 of the contacts to charge the rest were for headphones and data use. Also the plastic clips that held the charger to the phone were way to sensitive and broke easily
those sony experias are great phones, i had the one that came with the box. came out in 2019 so fairly new, works a charm note: i dont have it anymore so i cant speak to longjevity but when i had it it was good
For the iPhone 4, if it’s not showing anything on the screen when you press the power button (like the symbol that it needs to charge) then it most likely needs a screen replacement, not a new charging port. I’ve seen the same thing on an iPhone 6, I replaced the screen and it worked perfectly
I don't expect many refugees to come to Jersey, but here in the Netherlands many Ukrainians are asking for phones. You may actually be able to help with that bag!
I stopped giving away stuff to so-called refugees when I realized that in hungary, mostly local gipsies stand in lines to get free things and then sell them
The original Walkman came out in the late 1970s; the iPod didn't come out "shortly after." Sony also had a few other portable players in the interim, including the Discman, a portable CD player, and there were many, many competitors to both the Walkman and the Discman on the market. The iPod wasn't even the first portable mp3 player, it's just the first one that gained a huge amount of popularity.
Aahh..Nokia. Got five of them. Super phones, and I've even been to the city of Nokia. Used the 3310 for many years, and it still works. Xperias are great. On the sixth year of my Z5 now. It's solid as a rock 😀
I got at least 40 old phones. Most of them are Nokia and Sony Ericsson. But also got other brands. It's awesome to see old phones again. Thanks for the video Elliot!
When you said small phone, i remember the Nokia 6510. It was so awesome, and one could record audio on it. So used to record my favorite song on it and listen to it through a headset connected.
The white 4, how long did you put it on the charger for? Might leave it over night plugged in, its probably dead dead and needs a few hours to wake up again. Otherwise, great haul!
The tiny Sony Ericsson is the t600, it's a redesigned Ericsson t66, both were great phones back then but both suffered from drop in reception few months after usage (had 3 units replaced under warranty, yet still love it) The iPod wasn't Apple's answer to the walkman, it came 10+ years after it 😊
Should consider sending these 2 Xperia to Vince from my mate Vince. i recon he take up the challenge if you are happy to potentially write these offs if he does non-intentionly breaks them.
try and use one of the smaller 30-pins for the white 4, I have two 4’s out of four that refuse to charge with the 30-pin with the two locks on the sides
I actually have a Sony Ericsson from I guess early 2000's and it still works just fine but I needs a sim card to run, although, it works just fine with an inactive one I use.
I find it interesting that you're more keen on phones that are nostalgic for you. For me, phones that Im wildly unfamiliar with are far more interesting
Hey! Just a heads up if a ipod says its dead but on the top full power it may be a battery sensor fail. Dont worry though! Just put it on charge and your good to go!
I've used Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia XA before, and the battery replacement is actually not hard as I replaced the batteries on both of the phones. I don't think it changed on these 2 you have
The Xperia phones have some sort of exclusive playstation capabilities or something from what I remember. You might have been able to use remote play with it at some point with the ps3 or with the ps4 before the remote play app became available for all android and apple phones. I know for sure that it had some sort of playstation exclusive capability.
Elliot. The white iPhone 4 is a 4 and the black one is a 4s. the normal 4 runs ios 7 and the 4s runs 9 as the newest os. Also the antennas are different on both ones
The ipod was apples answer to piracy. Mp3 players definitely existed before the ipod, but mostly used to play pirated mp3s from file sharing software. ipod was made in order to be used with itunes to combat piracy
The iphone would be a cheap and easily fix. So definitely worth it. I've still got my old one despite not using it. I just love the little thing, so I can't let my first iPhone go. 😂
Noone has ever said the sentence "Sony made the walkman, and Apple came in with the iPod shortly after that." Good summary of how that went. Walkman 1979 iPod 2001
7:02 you can tell if it's an iphone 4 or an iphone 4s by looking at the top where the audio jack and microphone are. If there is a black stripe (antenna) next to it, it's a 4s. if the top doesn't have the stripe, it's an iphone 4. So the black one was an iphone 4s, the white one was an iphone 4
i went all digital with my music in 1999 two years before apple made the ipod and ive never used or owned an ipod mp3 players were around for at least 2 years before that apple was late to the party
no the small one is not z1....z1 has a glass back and it was released in 2013.....i think its xz premium or xa of some sort....the z lineup had a particular design
Woooow, I've wanted Sony Xperias for SO LONG... I legit bought a purple one years ago but had to return it as I couldn't use it on local network... 😭😭😭
I had an iphone 4 that was stuck on a blank screen after putting a battery in it after it had been off for a long time. I could tell it was charging up because my PC saw it in itunes. I did a hard reset and the screen started working again. So maybe let it charge a bit then try a hard reset (hold in home and power for 10 seconds or so)
The iPhone 4 i had so much problem with connection that i turned it in after 7 days and got my money back. I didn't have an iPhone until 6 and 6 Plus. Then my 6 Plus got water damaged and i went for Samsung afterwards which had waterproof phones after the 6 plus.
3:33 omg i have the same ipod mini It is a second gen one and i have one that i use daily has an amazing battery life Edit: go find dank pods on how to open them You take the bottom and top off which is glued and you unscrew the brackets, then unplug the click wheel in the bottom and everything sort of slides out
For the white iPhone try these:
1. The battery may have too low charge to turn on even connected. Try connecting to a 10W charger for a couple of hours (2-3h). It may kick in.
2. If it doesn't. Try disconnecting the battery tab from the main board and plugging in a charger. If it turns on without battery and starts boot looping it probably is okay and the battery is dead.

I did this to mine as well as a new battery. Dankpods
It’s an iPod nano I think
@@jonathancruz562 Nope.
i wanted to comment that
Great little haul. Have a go, fix what you can and give them to some older people in your community. I'm sure they would appreciate them
The Xperia phones are definitely worth taking apart and replacing the batteries. Very good Android phones.
Yeah, I still use my 6 year old Xperia Z5 daily because it's so goddamn good.
i bet they are its a shame that Sony doesn't advertise them you cant find any Sony phones in my town but can find all their other products
Good for Android emulation too!
Loved my Xperia Z!!
My xperia died in 1,5months :D

black iphone is 4s, white is 4. you can see from the antenna bend placements.
Beat me to it 😊
actually some iphone 4's had the antenna bend issues fixed later on with a 4s chassis, although its unlikely, they do exist
@@pourgoi_6100 no they didn't.
they just gave a free bumper case.
@@rpst39 no he’s right there was an issue I have a 4s and the antenna lines look different to my mates old normal 4
Those xperias would be great to use for emulation with a Bluetooth controller and one of those dock things
History of portable audio:
1979: Sony Walkman
1980-2000: Nothing
2001: Apple iPod
1990-2000: Sony Discman
@@windowsfan95 I'm sure it was meant as cheek, as the way Elliott put it, Sony released the walkman and Apple decided to go against it some 20 years later
To be fair he did say he wasn't well-read on the history of portable music players.
Yea I just thought it sounded funny. Sorry if I came off as harsh
@@samuzamu I mean I came to the comments specifically to roast Elliot for being such a sweet summer child. He was, like, 3 when the iPod came out.
"The Sony Walkman came out and then shortly after that the iPod was released." Just glossing over 21 years, nothing to see here! Just made me almost inhale my sandwich as you said it.
Sony used the Walkman brand for MP3 players.

That was my 1st ipod. The ipod mini. But mine was silver. loved it.

I love that little iPod right at the end of the video. So cute 😊
I don't expect many refugees to come to Jersey, but here in the Netherlands many Ukrainians are asking for phones. You may actually be able to help with that bag!
The only phones that may be worth using in 2022 are the Xperia ones; the rest are pretty much useless.
I stopped giving away stuff to so-called refugees when I realized that in hungary, mostly local gipsies stand in lines to get free things and then sell them
@@keyvanalizadeh2995Yeah but only if you change the batteries on those Xperia phones
old android phones are still usable if you flash a modded android to it
actually the iPhone 7 is still useable in 2024
Hey, Elliot's doing a nugget lucky dip! Love this style of video 👍
The Sony's are worth fixing and you can absolutely still find parts for them. Great phones with good cameras.
The original Walkman came out in the late 1970s; the iPod didn't come out "shortly after." Sony also had a few other portable players in the interim, including the Discman, a portable CD player, and there were many, many competitors to both the Walkman and the Discman on the market.
The iPod wasn't even the first portable mp3 player, it's just the first one that gained a huge amount of popularity.
The first MP3 player was the "MPman" I think

I'd watcha series of "Elliot gets hauls of stuff and looks at it." Entertaining to see some old stuff again.
Some xperias have a weak frame and bend. Might not be the battery expanding but the entire phone bent/warped
THE NUGGET LUCKEY DIP!!
That iPod Nano 7th gen is pretty cool! It supports AirPods and other bluetooth headphones as well!
The tiny Sony Ericsson is the t600, it's a redesigned Ericsson t66, both were great phones back then but both suffered from drop in reception few months after usage (had 3 units replaced under warranty, yet still love it)
The iPod wasn't Apple's answer to the walkman, it came 10+ years after it 😊
Should consider sending these 2 Xperia to Vince from my mate Vince. i recon he take up the challenge if you are happy to potentially write these offs if he does non-intentionly breaks them.
Kinda reminds me a DankPods video....absolutely love this format with phones 😍😍
Those Xperias have made that bag worth £40. If resold you are certainly going to double up at least.
try and use one of the smaller 30-pins for the white 4, I have two 4’s out of four that refuse to charge with the 30-pin with the two locks on the sides

I love the IPod Nano 7th gens if you still have it knocking around I would love it.
Loving the Nugget Dip so far!

I am getting some dank pods vibes
I would love to see you try to repair a modern iphone like the 13
Noone has ever said the sentence "Sony made the walkman, and Apple came in with the iPod shortly after that." Good summary of how that went.
Walkman 1979
iPod 2001
I think he is talking about the Walkman MP3 player series
I’d blur the back of the 3310, the number on the back is still quite visible because it’s scratched in, in case that number is still active.
The black iPhone is a 4S and the white iPhone is an original 4. You can tell by the black lines on the side/top of the iPhone.
7:02 you can tell if it's an iphone 4 or an iphone 4s by looking at the top where the audio jack and microphone are. If there is a black stripe (antenna) next to it, it's a 4s. if the top doesn't have the stripe, it's an iphone 4. So the black one was an iphone 4s, the white one was an iphone 4
First thing I'd do is check the cable for the iPhone that didn't want to charge. The old ones broke even easier then the ones used now.
I still have my Nokia 3310 that I got given to me at age 9 when it was first released in the year 2000 and it’s still going strong. 👍🏻
Definitely try a repair on the white 4S! What a beaut!
Not fair can't go live while I'm watching this 🤣
make sure the isopropyl is dried off of the power contacts before plugging it in or you might have a pretty blue flame
i went all digital with my music in 1999 two years before apple made the ipod and ive never used or owned an ipod mp3 players were around for at least 2 years before that apple was late to the party
A Nokia without power? That's some good CGI 🤣
what kind of charity shops do you have in jersey?? im in bristol and I’ve never found phones like this
Where did you buy that lot? Would love to start my repair and modding journey.
If you like seeing arkanoid on that old iPod, how about seeing doom on that very same device? Rockbox has a port of it 😄
I like the Sony Experias I would even use them now if I had them
Had the lightning socket clogged on my iPhone 5 like that. Lightning sockets seem prone to gathering pocket fluff
I had an Xperia like you found (as i remember, the big one is L1 and smol boi is something from the X lineup), definetly worth changing battery in it.
no the small one is not z1....z1 has a glass back and it was released in 2013.....i think its xz premium or xa of some sort....the z lineup had a particular design
ty for the correction even tho the comment is 1 year old lol @@jay_alpha
You can factory reset the locked iphones and ipods by using some computer software
The Nokia 3310 is indestructible!
You can get the owner's email from the device and ask them to remove the iCloud lock remotely. Search for it in Hugh Jeffreys' videos
I need one Xperia for sure!! Actually I'm watching this on my Sony Xperia l4 lmao
Sony invented the Walkman in 1979.
My first phone was a Nokia 2110.
Btw as someone who has the nano 7th gen you got it correct and mines in black
I'd love to see a collab with DankPods
You had me at 3310.
I had that iPod touch ( different colour) back in day
Woooow, I've wanted Sony Xperias for SO LONG... I legit bought a purple one years ago but had to return it as I couldn't use it on local network... 😭😭😭

Where did you buy the bag of phones from?
Great video 📹 👍🏼
Nice stuff.
I love ur videos I hope to see more of this!!!
worth it for the ipods alone.
That's what she said.
Send the pink iPod to Dankpods, see if he can do something dumb and fun with it

@Elliot Coll I wonder if those Sony experience phones of her sale and maybe the pink iPod mini depending on price ?
Every person should have at least one Nokia charger at home.
MP3 players were already around before the iPod. They didn't start it, not by a long shot.
Gotta “love” Apple!
Now you’re stuck with a paper weight. (iPod touch)
I had a nano 7th gen in gold and I loved it it has so many songs on it but it is bootlooping so I am gonna fix it

Bruh that is awesome for 20£.
xperia phones were absolutely cool back then. Well, they're still cool, just not for an average consumer
3:33 omg i have the same ipod mini
It is a second gen one and i have one that i use daily has an amazing battery life
Edit: go find dank pods on how to open them
You take the bottom and top off which is glued and you unscrew the brackets, then unplug the click wheel in the bottom and everything sort of slides out
woo elliot got the ipod mini 2nd gen in pink
I know this vid is old but where I go is batteries plus bulbs to get electrics fix
fun stuff!
The Sony xperia r easy to put battery in then and still get the battery off Ebay
This was a good video
