Note to you : the iPhone where you said the home button doesn't work is an iPhone 7 so the home button doesn't click by itself it needs to be powered on to give you the "click" since it's handled by the vibration motor.
Found a similar deal on ebay a couple of months ago. 70 phones, 70 dollars, "broken". Among them, a fully working iphone X, a pretty new oppo phone, assorted others. About 50 of them worked overall.
Seeing that J3 put a smile on my face, it was the first phone I ever bought and it got me through college, such a great Samsung phone and honestly love those, they’re great budget phones.
"nobody really is gonna have any interest in this because it's so old" that's where you're wrong! I and many others adore this kind of stuff and collect old phones :)
even outside of collectors, these phones can be given to refugees etc to help them with communication, and they don't have to be new as long as they work!
Just a heads up, besides the old ones all apple devices are quite likely to be iCloud locked. Reset doesnt remove the lock. There is not a complete bypass to an iCloud lock so the devices will not be usable (some partial bypasses exist but the functions you unlock with them are very limited, not worth it in my opinion). Keep this in mind if you are thinking about investing money and time to repair them.

You're right that these will start having nostalgic value. The Gen-Xers (like me) have gotten all of their 80s stuff back, now it is time for the Millennials, which is a larger generation. Moto Razers and PS2s/PSPs will be all the rage - buy all you can get. Love the channel, massive Holiday Cheers!
A common problem with the early models in the Samsung Galaxy series (e.g. S3, S4) is USB port failure, which among other things prevents the phone from charging. I had short-lived success working around that by using wireless charging adapter pads (which used contact points inside the phone, bypassing the USB port), but later found it easier (and more reliable) to just swap batteries and use a dedicated wall charger … that is, until the phones themselves eventually died. Don’t know whether that bit of info might be relevant to your troubleshooting efforts, but thought I’d share it just in case. 🙂
Huh. I had a similar problem with a phone back in the day, except I didn't really know what was wrong. It was a pretty cheap phone anyway, so I tried not to mind it.
I remember going through the Galaxy Nexus charging port failure saga. Endless replacements of the port and it got to the point where the phone thought it was charging when unplugged and wouldn't charge when plugged in.
Of course the Nokia's work 😂 they're bomb proof. I'd want the BB Curve. I love Blackberry phones. Really prefer the physical keyboard. I actually hated touch phones when I had to switch from my BB 8520
For that iPod Classic 4th Gen 20GB, you're able to pry off the back and replace the old hard drive with a cheap flash mod/sd card, really easy it just plugs right in where the old drive was. No soldering. Sadly that screen seemed like it was missing a line of pixels
I fix up tech for fun and often give most of them away. Even the really old stuff can be given to a poorer person or elderly in other countries. Feels good to give back.
Hi. The case with some of the iPhones is called a boot loop. All you have to do is open up the iPhone/iPod/iPad and disconnect the microphone/connect the microphone(if it wasn’t connected) and try again, it’s a simple error. I experienced it once with my iPhone XS Max
A tip to distinguish between the iPod Touch 5th and 6th gen is to look at the bottom right at the back of the device. If it does have the grey circle, it is 5th gen and if it doesn't it is 6th gen.
The iPod 4G (not the touch version) probably only needs a new harddrive, and maybe a screen. Very easy to fix, just put in an SD-card or SSD adapter instead of that harddrive.
i think they were all from a charity shop called Hospice. When this was recorded he was still in Jersey and would've gone there (i'm from Jersey too and i'm actually quite jealous he was able to get that from there lmao)
Would definitely watch a video on the old iPod. Curious about the slab BlackBerry phone as well. The ones manufactured by TCL were actually pretty decent Android phones. I love the old Nokia phones that have character. Phones used to be so customizable and now all you can do is put a funky case on your black or white slab of glass. iPhone repairs are typically pretty easy, that's how I started repairing small electronics actually but as others have said if they're cloud locked you probably won't ever be able to do anything with them.
This was a lot of nostalgia in one bag, nice find! I wouldn't trust the batteries on any of these even the ones that boot up and charge. Also I don't know about over there in the UK but here in the US we're shutting down or have already shut down older 3g / 2g cell services so a bunch of those might not work with any cell carrier soon.
the uk feels like it is 10 years in the past. We still use 3g and also have tv over the air. After 3g shut down in the US we joked that in the uk it will shut down in 2045 or something
@@weegie3343 EU wide 3G has been shut down and the same will happen with 2G, starting in 2025. The rest of the world has pretty much completely switched to 4G already. So far the issue with 2G in Europe and the UK is that stuff like traffic lights or tracking devices still depends on it. But I reckon even the bloo passport carriers will have to say goodbye to their retro phones in the next couple of years...
@@weegie3343 Depending on where you're located you might still get a 3G signal but it's increasingly rare and I mean really super rare since the last few 3G towers are almost exclusively government stuff.

The iPod classic will definitely make a good video on your main channel. iPod classics, especially the newer ones, are very upgradable and customisable, just like gameboys
, The iPhone model you found with the S on the bottom looked like either an iPhone 6s or a 6S plus. With the iPhone that’s in a boot loop, you can plug it into your computer and if you can get it into recovery mode, you might be able to reinstall the newest iOS version onto it.
I don't know a lot for most of them but here is some that I know that might help iPhone 5: very likely dead battery, screen is probably popping off because the battery is expanding iPhone SE: while the lcd might be dead it might also not be, I had it happen on my old iPhone 5 and it was fixed by reseating the screen connections and giving the connections a clean with a soft brush. iPod 4th gen monochrome: Sad iPod means dead hard drive. You can try flash modding with an sd card. Good luck on fixing them all.
8:03 I have an identical iPhone SE in rose gold which I bought last August for about $50. Battery life is rather anaemic but it looks and runs fairly fine after reshelling it. Some sellers do offer housing replacements with your phone's IMEI engraved on it at extra cost.
did you go for a new battery? i put a new one in mine and its pretty respectable battery wise, generally get ~5h sot where my newer android phone gets ~8
Fun Fact, The 2016 iPhone SE is actually the oldest iPhone to still receive the latest iOS update, iOS 15, I've also got one that I have to fix, I also need a new battery.

Cool Video. I bought a black IPhone 4 at an estate sale right before COVID with charger for $5. It works perfectly and still does, it’s a keeper for me and it even still has its otter case which is also in good shape. Unfortunately its original owner was the older gentleman who passed on. The estate sale was hosted by a friend of a friend so it was easy figuring out the passcode.
My wife and I had those tiny Sony Ericsson Xperia phones. Mine was the model with the flip out keyboard and she literally had that exact model you have. Ah the nostalgia
I know you actually get a lot of Nintendo products, but for the next time you get a lot of old phones, you can always look up the model number on the back. For iPhones, the model number starts with an a.
Dude, wear some latex or nitrile gloves when handling used tech, specially if you're going to shove your hands in a bag full of them. You never know where those things have been. Then disinfect each and every one of them before placing them in different parts of your studio! Other than that, great find! Those phones, old as they may be, would be super useful in third-world countries
5:50 Gotta try the built in space shooter game. It's surprisingly good. Ah, the Xperia X10 Mini, such a cute phone. The modding scene for that was absolutely mad back in the day. Overclocks, GLTools optimizaions, etc., just like on the Samsung Galaxy Young. Those miniphones were so popular, like, 10 years ago.
I managed to get my hands on an LG Optimus LII a couple years ago. Still have it in my closet, haven't been able to get any interest in it unfortunately. Works perfectly though.
I still got my Galaxy S2, but it's completely dead. Even after changing battery. Would love to hear if anyone experienced the same and was able to figure out how to fix it.
The iPhone 5(?) at 7:19 that's in a bootloop might be because of a dead battery, I currently have an iPhone SE that bootloops with it's battery but is just fine when I put in a replacement.
The Old iPod that has the wheel, the error message that it shows up means it needs a new hard drive, you can buy new hard drives for like 20$ and then replace it and It will work fine.
This would have been heaven to me, i love fixing phones, not so much iphones because oftl the security features gettin in the way but there are ways to bypass some, also some newer models wont let you swap screens otherwise it will lose functionality
9:37 man I really hope you're right. I've got a couple of them, one of which I sometimes use as a dumb phone. The problem with these older phones is that in about 2-4 years from now 2G network will be shut down. When that happens these become glorified paper weights since all data transfer (not just internet but also regular calls and SMS) depends on 2G. So there could definitely still be a market for collectors but unless someone releases an upgrade kit with a modern antenna, which never say never but it's highly unlikely, in the near future these can't be sold as useable phones.
Would love to see you do a TronicsFix style video with these and see if you can fix as many as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed your fixing and cleaning of the GameBoy you brought back to life and would to see you do the same with the phones. Fingers crossed you can make some money back!
I don’t think you should reset any of the iPhones as they are too old to have new software, too new for any mods or hacking and their only purpose now is for data preservation. (Maybe just get rid of any traces of the last person)
Crikey, I expected maybe one or two of these to work, the rest to have smashed screens or be completely destroyed.. seeing that almost all of them are in perfect working condition blows me away, and they're all such nice modern phones too o.o Something something throwaway society something something blah blah I've been using the same Android phone since 2015 blah blah you get the idea lol But man it is weird to see so much phones far better than mine in better shape being essentially thrown away like they have no value
Do a review of one of those using the cameras of all of them. So a different phone for every section of the video. Also; I am shocked by how many of these work! I feel like someone may have actually just collected them from electronics recycling bins. It's weird to see how many relatively modern phones are in there. The revamped 3310 featurephone is still for sale for 70 euros, and it's in there for 50. Pretty sure that's already more than half of your value! Also that's a blackberry leap. Actually not running android, but with a full touch screen. Bit of an odd ball! Have fun erasing them!
Make sure to read up on iCloud locks before resetting any of those Apple devices, you might end up with devices that can't be used after restoring them.
You should try to do a video on the infamous "Playstation Phone" (a.k.a. the Sony Xperia Play). It's a pretty interesting piece of hardware and would make a great video!

@@WalterMan you right it takes so long that it’s worth h to part the phones instead
What should I search for? Or please tell me the vendor.
The old brick nokias can never die, they're like cockroaches

Did you get the 6s working?
This would have been heaven to me, i love fixing phones, not so much iphones because oftl the security features gettin in the way but there are ways to bypass some, also some newer models wont let you swap screens otherwise it will lose functionality
9:37 man I really hope you're right. I've got a couple of them, one of which I sometimes use as a dumb phone. The problem with these older phones is that in about 2-4 years from now 2G network will be shut down. When that happens these become glorified paper weights since all data transfer (not just internet but also regular calls and SMS) depends on 2G. So there could definitely still be a market for collectors but unless someone releases an upgrade kit with a modern antenna, which never say never but it's highly unlikely, in the near future these can't be sold as useable phones.
So many nostalgic phones in there haha. Makes me want to get them all again just to relive the good times lol.
Have you seen a Nexus 6P,5X,6,5 and 4? Do you know 6P stands for six Plus?
Would love to see you do a TronicsFix style video with these and see if you can fix as many as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed your fixing and cleaning of the GameBoy you brought back to life and would to see you do the same with the phones. Fingers crossed you can make some money back!
Where did you get the bag of iPods I need that
That iPod classic is saying that it’s hard drive is dead. Probably a good candidate for a flash mod
This is most likely the problem with the old iPod. If a firmware restore doesn't fix it, it's 10/10 hard drive.
Brother , where you get these kind of Bags Filled with Old Phones????
I don’t think you should reset any of the iPhones as they are too old to have new software, too new for any mods or hacking and their only purpose now is for data preservation. (Maybe just get rid of any traces of the last person)
Totally 💯
Apple, there software are made for up to date iPhone & iPod, so fix them by always and have them for show 👍🏻
How did you buy it ? Ebay ?
Crikey, I expected maybe one or two of these to work, the rest to have smashed screens or be completely destroyed.. seeing that almost all of them are in perfect working condition blows me away, and they're all such nice modern phones too o.o
Something something throwaway society something something blah blah I've been using the same Android phone since 2015 blah blah you get the idea lol
But man it is weird to see so much phones far better than mine in better shape being essentially thrown away like they have no value
The “what the hell” made me laugh
Honestly doing a whole series of videos on fixing all of the non working working ones. I'd love to see it!
13:58 That was the Chinese version of Samsung gt-e1230
Do a review of one of those using the cameras of all of them. So a different phone for every section of the video.
Also; I am shocked by how many of these work! I feel like someone may have actually just collected them from electronics recycling bins.
It's weird to see how many relatively modern phones are in there. The revamped 3310 featurephone is still for sale for 70 euros, and it's in there for 50.
Pretty sure that's already more than half of your value!
Also that's a blackberry leap. Actually not running android, but with a full touch screen. Bit of an odd ball!
Have fun erasing them!
I also need this bag with same price? How I can get this?
I had the Xperia X10 Pro Mini. It had a keyboard, so small 🤣. It was a wonderful phone for the time, I really miss those different models
Where did you get these?
Probably eBay 😅
Woah, you just found this for 50 bucks, so lucky, i would be endlessly happy to find an offer like this
@The odd ones Videos huh, what wouldnt i know?
I would love to see you fix up old electronics like these!
Make sure to read up on iCloud locks before resetting any of those Apple devices, you might end up with devices that can't be used after restoring them.
Of course the nokias work-
You should try to do a video on the infamous "Playstation Phone" (a.k.a. the Sony Xperia Play). It's a pretty interesting piece of hardware and would make a great video!
I have over 20 iPods and majority models of older iPhones. Hopefully they aren’t locked to someone’s iCloud. If they aren’t, you got a damn good deal!
2:04 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh man, that folding Nokia takes me back. That was my high school phone 😂
5:46 If you don't know what nokia flip phone model is
it's actually nokia 2760, correct?
When the universe grows cold, the last light in the darkness will be a nokia screen.
You have the best charity shop ever
OMG people... factory reset your goddamn phones before you give them away!!
