Hey Hugh, i just wanted to give an advice on how you can remove the adhesive from the side of your phone, this trick is actually used by my local repair shop, just take a small motor along with a battery and either take a small screwdriver end or a thin metal rod and attach that to the motor, it helps to speed up the adhesive removal process 😊
This might be one of the most impressive restaurations yet. I find a lot of broken, abandoned phones myself but I doubt I would ever fix them as good as this. Wow is all I can say
@@wealthgrowth I tell you most of them are beyond repair. I have a Galaxy S3 with snapped board, a lumia 510 with multiple dents in the board and bad charging port. A galaxy A51 That is actually promising - Visually good circuit boards with cameras and battery but bad mid cables and no display, also have an unidentified xiaomi phone from around 2018 in the same condition. The rest are in bits (iphone 3gs no board no battery cracked screen, iphone 4 only half the board and frame, huawei nova 5t missing display swollen battery corroded board, unidentified samsung bent in two no battery no screen, 1 unidentified keypad nokia with likely firmware problems The most I could do is part out whatever i could and sell locally for a grand total of 5 bucks. If you live in Romania I'll literally ship you my whole collection, there will be 3 extra phones which charged last time i checked (2y ago) and my old main phone
I’m literally watching this on a 12 pro max and it just makes me so sad that someone abandoned this! It’s not even super out of date. I’ve had mine over two years and had no issues.
Same! When he opened it up and showed all the dirt and gunk inside, it almost made me feel sad, like it was an abandoned puppy or something omg. Had to have been a rich person or something to abandon it because mine still feels high end in 2023 🤷♀️
Hey Hugh, really liked the video. Just want to say that since you have the original earpiece cable you can reprogram it with the i2C i6s programmer and pair it to a new special i2C flex. After that you just have to solder back a speaker. Done it on the iPhone X. It’s even possible to reprogram it if you don’t have the original earpiece flex but you’ll have to take out the Nand and use the p14 pro. So it’s a big advantage that you have the original cable.
In our country iPhone (any apple products) considered as a DISPOSABLE tech it is not because where are rich it's because of its products are unrepairable and parts are SOO expensive.
No, that's actually the NFC chip on the MB being short-circuited or just down right cracked. This cannot be fixed and Apple would just swap the board / sell you a new phone. I had this happen on 12 Pro after a hard fall. It prevents you from downloading any apps as well that you already don't "OWN" on your account even the Free once.
You should've dipped the mobo in an ultrasonic distilled water bath to clean off some corrosion. As is it may corrode more and end up failing. Otherwise, crazy to see such an obliterated phone restored to a functional state!
@@dannistbrown8892 You are correct, ultrasonic cleaner and IPA are a bad combination. Sorry you're dealing with a bunch of clowns who don't know what they're talking about berating you.
Sounds like a spy or something tried to dispose of it, and that's why they didn't respond... Or maybe I just have an overly active imagination. Great restoration! I loved it!
Apple Pay issue is rampant in iOS 16. Had a XS that had it working on iOS 15 updated it to 16 and it never came back. Face ID can be repaired via micro soldering, have heard that putting on the screen without it attached to test can trigger that message as well. Its now getting beyond a joke they lock everything and the self repair program is an even bigger joke. You should send the phone off of a micro solderer im sure theres a few who would collab with you and get Face ID fixed its quite cool how they do it, and how they repair I7/8 home buttons.
Hugh, that camera could have still worked. I suggest cleaning it thoroughly then putting it back in the phone. If its a movement issue, then cleaning the dirt could solve that issue. I think the outside camera lens being broken contributed to the blurry camera.
I've had phones with broken camera lenses, it doesn't make much of a difference. I think the camera being unable to move which allows it to focus contributes to its blurriness.
My dad found an iPhone 7 on the side of a road. It was in much worse condition than the iPhone in this video. I haven't checked on any tracking methods to contact the owner yet, but I probably will end up doing that at some point. It seems a lot like the previous video about this device.
Have you checked the SIM tray? If it still has a SIM card inside, the tracking would be a bit easier as it (likely) contains previous owner and friends' contacts
@@sihamhamda47 Yes, there is a SIM card in the tray. I haven't checked how to find information using that, but if it helps, I also have a fully functional iPhone 7 of the same model. Like I said, I don't really know how to figure it out, but I probably could with some basic effort.
@@Box223 Just put the sim card in a working phone, find its number, then text or call that number. If the owner got a new phone with the same number, they will get your message.
@@Box223 No problem. That's how I returned an iphone 6 I found on the grass outside a restaurant. To my surprise the owner replied within minutes of me texting them.
It might not be perfect, but you got it in much better condition than I ever would and honestly, looks brand new still to me at first glance! Good job!
Hugh, you should make a video on, _where to find the best iPhones you can keep_ , because to this day I have not found a single modern iPhone on any sidewalk because the previous owner did not want to repair a faulty Pro Max screen and camera.
I'll never buy an iPhone but I love watching these videos because every time one of these phones gets fixed, I think of it is like we are all sticking it to Apple for their anti right to repair ways.
Hey Hugh, the camera programmer works, but you will need to solder a flex cable to the wide angle camera. There is are a bunch of videos explaining it.
FYI, just applying acid to oxidised material will likely only be a temp fix if you don't neutralise it, especially with materials exposed to moisture (outside air). If you don't, it is very likely to rust like crazy again in a short while. After bathing in acid (24h bath), or a simple clean (like this one), neutralise the acid with a base (±15min after longer exposure to acid, like the 24h baths) and then rinse off with (demin) water. I use natrium bicarbonate, of which the most widely available source will likely be baking soda, dissolved in water. And a question from my side. You mentioned not having any problems resetting it. How did you do that? A while ago I deleted my iCloud account, but forgot to log off on one device. Now I can't log in anymore (account cannot be verified after entering password, it has been deleted). Any way to solve this? I cannot reset it, as it will require iCloud account verification, which is not longer valid... Thanks for all the videos!
Apple: You used unauthorized adhesive, your processor will now run at 35% speed to prevent the adhesive from melting and protect you from catching fire damage... You're welcome!
It's crazy how fast the battery of the iPhone 12 has deteriorated, mine is in the mid-80s now yet my old SE is still at 82%, I know I'm gonna have to get the battery replaced in about a year or two and that's sad.
I wonder if water has corroded something that is affecting the logic bord henc affecting apple pay id and the front camera assembly.. so soaking it all in alcohol bath in a ultrasonic cleaner like a full 1L IPA in a ultrasonic bath for a hour might actually fix any correction in places you just can't get to without using a hot air station and remove all ic's and re solder it all.. it's worth a try as the IPA will clean up any corrosion especially in a ultrasonic bath.
You could have cleaned all the components of the phone by taking them out. I assume some of the dirt particles are still there underneath the motherboard and around the edges. Thanks ☺
What a great fix, with it's problems it's a good candidate as a childs phone or someone that doersnt use the disabled features! I still have no idea why people will buy a product from Apple that actively stops them repairing their own property at a reasonable price!
Hugh have you tried reinstalling the Operating System to clear the Apple pay error ? At some stage Apple will have to change it's business model based on constant short cycled replacement of hardware platforms and non support of right to repair in order to remain viable.
My personal experience with dead electronics with no visual damage (just dirt and water etc) is to soak it either in iso alcohol, clean it and let it soak in for a few hours or if you want the elegant way, a ultrasonic cleaner. I had a samsung with a broken screen fall into a bucket of water and dying, after cleaning the phone it still wouldn't work until after like 5 or 6 days, literally came back from the dead
In iPhone 13 and lower, the main camera is called the Wide camera and the ultra wide is called the Ultra Wide camera. This was changed on the iPhone 14 where the main camera is called the Main camera. So, on iPhone 13 and lower, the “wide” camera is actually the main camera.
Hey hugh, as found by the youtube channel RestoreTechnique, it's best to heat up your phone again after you installed the new adhesive and sealed the phone, and then apply pressure, this way the adhesive will be even more dust and waterthight
Great video! Yeah these companies talk about preventing e waste. They are the ones causing it! It’s all about money. I was given a 65 inch android tv, all it needed was a t con board, works fine now. Cheapest tv I ever had!
Nice video, Hugh :) I don't have the patience and skills to rebuild a broken phone like that :) The old camera can be cleaned by chucking it into alcohol for a day though.
Check the antenna cable at the top right on the camera module for the apple pay issue, thats an antenna which helps for the nfc on the front side, if that had corrosion there is a huge chance that it needs replacement so apple pay messege to be fixed
I think that iPhone was stolen and FMI or MDM locked and then bypassed with signal to unlock Icloud which could be what is causing the error but typically if signal was used to remove Icloud it doesn't seen to have errors(I do data researching as a hobby and I don't steal iPhones for a living even though that would make a good pay)
Hey, fantastic video like always, have you thought about doing a “Q and A”? I have some questions and I have a feeling others do too and wanna know more about what you do.
"Abandoned and Unclaimed" is a nice way of saying, "Phone was stolen or purposely damaged and reported as "lost" in order to get a new one" meaning that if the owner claims the device, it would be fraud and they would have to then turn it into the insurance company who would question how and where they found it and why the device had so much damage to it if it was "lost" rather than stolen. And after seeing that amount of dirt and rust, I'd also abandon and unclaim that device. The cost of repairing including labor, time, effort, frustration is simply not worth it. Just have Apple Care+ with Loss and Theft.
People be like "Why not change the rusty screws?", Apple be like "NON GENUINE SCREWS DETECTED!"..

For the Apple Pay issue can it be the NFC flex cable coming loose or tearing apart from the damage? Never seen this issue pop up in repair vids.
That's what I thought too. But with the back panel not being properly replaceable might be difficult to fix it.
