Please tell me where these shops are that will pop in a new HDMI on an xbox One s for under £50? I've just been quoted £80 for a new port, which is under £15 on eBay. I was told that you can run it through a sky box with the import HDMI port and not the out one (which is the one broken). Sometimes you can buy a second hand console for that price.
It's an age old marketing tactic to get engagement.. Notice it's spelt correct in the description?? So they know how its spelt... but look at the engagement from everyone who's "found" a funny spelling mistake...
They definitely sold the motherboard and swapped out with a broken one - oldest scam in the book especially in countries like where these guys are from

Might not have been a £1 at that point he probably meant the newest Fifa and if you have an UT or Career Mode you've saved and made good progress on then you can't just buy a new One he also didn't have a PS4 to play it on, and he would have to create a new account, pay again for PSN and all that, he has lost money to these guys, he has lost it on the PS4, Fifa, Any PSN he has brought and maybe even the leads and Controllers
To give them some credit i couldn't care less if i get anon genuine part aslong as it works as expected ive replaced multiple iphone screens with cheap ones and have been fine.
Screens vary drastically on different phones. I change them myself, charging just for the screen (for friends). Some can cost as little as £12. Others are in the hundreds of £s.
There is plenty of honest foreign people that deserve to come to this country who will benefit from it and it’s people like this who should be sent packing it’s common sense
Ive had bad past experience with these people payed £108 in there bussiness account the ps4 was returned in same condition left a stuck disc stuck in drive i replace the optical lens and worked didnt recieve a refund from these scammers
The issue I have with a lot of these stings is when Rogue Traders say it's an easy fix and for example should cost around £50. No it won't ! Most see an easy pay ticket and charge what they want. No way would these experts on the program charge these silly little amounts.......... IMHO of course.
It's like them saying it's just the top layer of glass, they're forgetting separating a digitiser from a actual led/oled panel is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible without damaging the panel, so a lot of places just opt for replacing both in one go, no doubt the rest of the crap this business does is extremely unethical and probably against various laws etc, but the repair of the phone wasn't a good "sting"
@@AnotherDud3 I was about to comment the same. I've done many iPhone screen repairs, battery repairs and replacement Taptic engines and charging ports over the years... I wouldn't attempt a top screen digitiser only repair, so difficult and time consuming and for most of the iPhones the replacement screens are no more than £20-£40.
When the 'expert' opened the motorola and said the lcd was split he literally forced it and snapped it himself, those lcd panels sit quite loosely in the back of a phone and a bracket holds them in place, what's happened is he's tried to pry the phone open after it's just been resealed and instead of lifting the full lcd unit he's lifted the first crevice he saw on the lcd and snapped it, on top of that these experts didn't even open the devices prior to sending them in, when they dropped that phone it could have easily caused damage to its interior which they would have blamed on the shop
7:57 - its not correct to say that only the top layer of glass needs to be replaced - the LCD and glass are bonded together..often with the frame of the phone. You cannot just repair the glass cheaply.. It does often require a new LCD assembly and frame. For what they charged - doing it with a cheap chinese lcd is actually common and not a rip off. Its not the best obvs but it isnt dishonest
I really like this, but I must say I think there's slightly too many silly jokes. A few would be good, sure, but it ends up making the whole episode look farcical. These are real scams that really hurt people, it's not a showcase for sitcom scriptwriters to perfect their punnery, surely?
What REALLY annoyed me about this is the "these all come from China" comment. Fantastic prejudiced undertones. Disgusting. There are also top quality parts made in China.
It's funny cos almost everything we use is either assembled, or uses parts entirely made in China. Xiaomi is one of the best phone brands on the planet at the moment.
