This made the repair SO much easier!!! I had some dead pixels in the main camera, 44 euro for a new camera and half an hour fiddeling around (would have been 2 hours without the video... if not more) and now its fixed. thanks!!!
Where can I buy that charger port assy. CAT says that they no longer support this phone or do repairs. While the phone is extremely rugged never drop it when charging. because no one repairs that part if broken. If the phone can not charge eventually it becomes a brick.
Thank you very much for this video. This phone helps me in my work big time. At first, I was shocked about solid brickeness of this phone and size of it, but now I'm used to it. You don't need hammer for nails if you have CAT S62 Pro :)
Not surprised but still disappointed the hex screws on the side aren't for disassembly. Reading the comments it's seems like parts are impossible to get, very disappointing. Might not be too much longer until I can reliably charge and it'll just be a basic thermal camera.
This is the kind of exotic phone that makes me feel excited. Phones are getting too similar to each other these days. I hope you can arrange a teardown of Sony Xperia Pro-I. The phone is quite an interesting phone , but also very expensive in the meantime.
👍 I will look into it, its pretty pricey and I will probably lose a lot of money on it since I don't get that many views on these videos but will see if I can get one n do it.
hi, would you say that this is a good phone...specs aside? im looking at buying one but there are so many negative reviews online, do i believe them? a lot of people are saying that call quality suffers...could that just be residual water in the mic from washing the phone?
I've owned mine for a year. I just wanted something reliable. I knew from the reviews it would be a bit buggy going in but I needed a new phone and it was what I could afford without overextending myself financially. Sometimes the flir app likes to crash unless I restart the phone. Also I had to disable the Google voice from the keyboard shortcut menu for voice dictation to work on discord. That stuff aside, I don't worry as much if it drops or gets wet at work. I also have the bad habit of throwing my phone when I am really angry. So... it works for that too. It can't handle Genshin Impact but it does reddit and firefox just fine so it meets my needs.
Hello. Could you provide the thickness of individual thermal pads for the Cat S62 pro phone? I would like to replace all of them with new ones. Regards
Thanks! If you replace the adhesive with original pre cut adhesive, then yes it will retain the ip68. But for this phone, it doesn't seem like the pre cut adhesive is easy to find or available to order online. Most of the time, back cover/battery door replacements would come with the pre cut adhesive pre installed but not always.
Try holding down the volume down and power button for 20 seconds see if it does anything. If not, it can be many things (bad battery, bad charger port, bad screen, etc).
@@PBKreviews thank you so much for the reply iv tried the reboot and nothing i tested the battery and its reading 4.28v. . When charger is connected still nothing not even small light on front iv also tested power button and its making a circuit
@@joeellis5960 There is a possibility that there may be a hairline crack in the screen somewhere that is hard to see or in a corner somewhere preventing the phone from displaying anything or powering on. The next thing I can think of would be water damage.
I also have s62 wich after it smacked to the ground is completely dead... not even a vibration when holding the power/volume buttons. Screen dead ofc. Might be something with the power since everything is dead.. where would you start?
Have same problem with Cat S62, i get slow charging problem, change charging port and it not run, when i press power only green led blinks once, and no more reaction. When i hold DOWN and POWER green led blink every 20s once and no other reaction. Maybe anyone know where to find baord view or circuit view or PCB description to check pads?
Cool phone, just a shame it's an absolute piece of crap. My first one got water inside it. The charger port on my second one has eroded/worn away in 6 months. Nothing but trouble trying to get it to charge. Looks like the thing needs to be completely torn apart just to repair the port. Which will also ruin its IP rating. Great video though, thanks.
@@PBKreviews I see. Thanks PBK for reviewing such great stuff. I would expect to watch more rugged phones disassembly in your channel in very future. 👍
Not sure about the S61, but this one isn't that hard to do. The fact that its taken apart from the back and not from the front is great compared to other rugged devices which pose a chance of breaking or damaging the display and prying it off to replace internal parts.
The whole phone is built around ruggedness. The entire housing is rubberized plastic with reinforced metal plates around the frame and is made to withstand dirt/debris as well as water. The screen is reinforced with a plastic layer screen protector as well with gorilla glass 6 screen to withstand drops.
Finally a S62 pro teardown video in youtube. Thanks!
You're welcome :)
Top notch disassembly video, I wish all products had videos this good available.

I dropped the phone while charging 😫 I was hoping to find a fix. But I think I'll have to replace it ugh
Aliexpress have multiple parts- still, be careful 😉

Is the finger print sensor replaceable ? If so where can I get one and what glue / cleaner is used to reattach backplate?
Is it still waterproof after disassembly and reassembly?
Boa tarde, muito bom o seu vídeo, nível de detalhamento e explicações excelente, parabéns
Where are you located ? How much to replace the display ? Glass is shattered but everything is functional including the FLIR .
Hello great video. I have one question witch adhesive can i best use for the backplate

Que tipo de adhesivo se utiliza para esa tapa de goma o tapa posterior que cubre la parte trasera por favor?

Is the s62 usb 2.0 or 3.0
Hi, can you please tell me, where can i find a battery for Cat s62?
Hi, not sure, I checked couldn't find one available. You can try contacting CAT for a repair quote to see what they would charge.
Thankyou ver much

hello i got this phone thermal camera is working, but wont display temp? any ideas thanks

Hi. I don't keep the phones and sell them off after the videos so I don't have it on hand to check.
thank you very very much. this helps a lot! perfectly changed the speaker.
You're welcome!
USB-c connector is soldered to flex cable ? Can I replace only usb connector without flex cable?
Yeah, would require soldering knowledge to de solder and replace the port from the flex cable.
Nice video, after disassembly the phone can remain still ip68?
Thanks! If you replace the adhesive with original pre cut adhesive, then yes it will retain the ip68.

Qual a diferença do cat s62 pro para o cat s62 ? Em relação ao lugar do sensor flir
i think FLIR Thermal camera is the only difference.
Cool. Thanks. I ordered this phone for myself yesterday. In Ukraine, it costs $ 620. And how much do you have?
You're welcome. It costs about the same here, around $600 USD.
@@PBKreviews Where are you from ? How long have you been using this phone?

Yeah should be the same screen.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks 😀
Never had any brand phone where the charging port lasted more than 6 months. All ports are trash.
any solution the speaker sounds weird hoarse.?
Good content ❤️
Thanks!
For me I believe the primary microphone is broken, as it can record audio, but speaking to somebody on the phone doesn't work.
Good job!)
thanks!
Nice stuff
Thanks 👍😀
Good to see Qualcomm 660 & Samsung Storage. Overall, I could say Nokia XR20 is probably having better ease of repairability than this CAT
I feel the Cat S62 pro is easier to take apart n do repairs compared to the XR20 but the XR20 does feel like a more premium device.

Hi
Hello
This is even worse design comparing to s61. Changing the battery is a challenge
Not sure about the S61, but this one isn't that hard to do. The fact that its taken apart from the back and not from the front is great compared to other rugged devices which pose a chance of breaking or damaging the display and prying it off to replace internal parts.
Cool

Poco M4 PRO 5g teardown
Will do it as soon as I am able to get one.
This is just another normal phone where is the ruggedness.
The whole phone is built around ruggedness. The entire housing is rubberized plastic with reinforced metal plates around the frame and is made to withstand dirt/debris as well as water. The screen is reinforced with a plastic layer screen protector as well with gorilla glass 6 screen to withstand drops.
Too bad this phone is a pain in the ass to replace the screen. Totally doable, but annoying.
