I think it is important to show failed repair attempts as well as the successful ones as a lot can be learned from failure, would also be a good way to show that sometimes things just don't always work out the way we would have hoped. I would certainly be interested in seeing something like a "Restorations gone wrong" playlist.

no one is talking about how freaking huge the notch is on the "new" lcd..

Well, that's P20 PRO almost been repaired and it's a useful to experience for every repair technician. By the way, still looking forward to our project!

What a great thrill to open youtube and see a new video from Hugh, keep it up!

Woah! I've done the same mistake of cracking the LCD while fixing it to frame of my samsung phone on the way pushing it in place... Literally my heart stopped at the time when I saw the long white lines connecting vertical to the Samsung logo....It was like 5 years ago...And now Hugh does the same mistake.... Which tells me... Hey!!! This is also a part of life.... *Happy Repairing....😁*

I got an lcd display for a galaxy a50. it was advertised as an oled and had a way bigger bottom bezel than advertised. I got a full refund and got to keep the crappy display though

Very good video as always, Hugh! It’s curious that about a year ago I started watching your videos because I wanted to fix a Huawei Honor 8, and it was the exact same type of repair as you did. It makes me feel a bit better that even you, who has a lot more experience fixing smartphones, ran into the same issues I did. For displays for Huawei, I used The Replace Base and it worked very well, so I recommend them in case you still want to fix that phone.

It takes a crap load of skill to get those plastic bezels, I applaud you

JerryRig: Destroy phones Hugh Jeffreys: I'll fix it for ya

Great upload , I’m pleased to see the reality of repairs and particularly when some manufacturers make these phone literally unable able to repair.

It’s nice to see him show is ups and downs of his repairs

Hey Hugh so recently I heard that they released a new SEP exploit which is pretty much what ties and encrypts Touch ID to iPhones and iPads so pretty soon we could actually be seeing a way to reprogram our own biometrics (Face ID and Touch ID on devices A11 and older) which will be neat. Just thought I’d let you know about this because it’ll be a huge deal for repairers like us when this finally happens after 7 long years of Apple using this as a way to slap third party repairers in the face

I've had my first successful screen replacement yesterday even though I broke the back panel on my Galaxy note 8. Just too much adhesive. Luckily, back panels aren't too expensive... :)

Dude I love what you do, your videos are teaching me new things about computers. I have repaired a few HP and Compaq laptops and some iphones and samsungs too in my time repairing electronics. I love learning new repair stuff though.

I recently repaired one of these and I can say that it’s easier if you buy the new screen with the housing as one, that way you just need to swap the motherboard and components and seal everything back

you actually can remove the LCD without damaging it, a good tool for that is heated bed and some gentle use of plastic picks.

He explains so satisfyingly and clearly

Now although he failed this repair this adds integrity to Mr.Jeffreys other youtube bloggers wont post their mistakes/fail since theyre all sooo afraid of losing subscribers kudos to Mr.Jeffreys keep it up and may God bless you !

Im confused about that notch on the replacement its way bigger than the p20 pro normally has looks like mate 20 pro notch so is it even the correct replacement screen?

One tip for taking away the backplate is to open it up alittle with your pull tool then use a Hard plastic play card and carefully going around the edge, its a calmer and less damage way you can use instead of a pic. it also helps in taking away the battery whitout damaging it. also on that heat plate, put it on 80 degrees on about 7-8 minutes so the phone gets all hot. i hope this helps. :D

Keep it up with that, Hugh! You're good at restoring devices.

Smart from you to upload a video about Huawei in this time-period. ;) You won the UKposts algorithm.

Hugh, the LCD probably broke not necessarily because of your install, but due to the high, pointed sections from the original damage that you just left in the frame (still technically an install issue, however different cause). Being raised means there is a pressure point behind the panel and, well, glass panels don't tend to like that.. you even see what looks to be one pressing against the glass when you show the new display turned on and you press on it. When you get the replacement OLED you should try using a gasket hammer or jewellers hammer and gently peen the raised areas flat, or otherwise not only will you damage the new display, but also potentially the battery too if you just leave those dents in there again. Also, you really probably should have used like half that amount of thermal paste 😬 have a closer look for over spillage when redoing the display, you might be ok but it looked like too much in the video.. P.s - love your work, keep up the great videos! It's always entertaining 🙂

I noticed you brought back the old intro! I really like it.

I like Hugh videos, straight to the point and very very good explanations 👏👏

Your Channel is the greatest and it’s my number 1 repair channel to watch! However please make more videos, it’s lockdown we have time!

I've got 2 of these phones, one has a cracked back and after watching this video, it can stay cracked

Ey, that phone's from Malaysia. Digi is a Malaysian Telco, nice to see local representation

Can't wait to see a part 2 of this restoration

Love your work man

I’ve never watched a Hugh Jefferys video in 1080p 60FPS only 360p so ... so clear!

Hugh really loves to upload when I'm asleep lol

I have one of these...the battery bulged on it a while back but thankfully it had warranty left on it. Was repaired free of charge but the battery literally popped the rear panel off, was amazing to see.

the back glass on these is so fragile, i broke 2 replacements before i finally got the 3rd to work, the glue sucks too so i just used some b7000, the replacement screens are meh compared to oem but it’s an awesome phone though, it’s way easier to just buy a screen with the frame already attached too, it’s only $5 or so more, another tip too you can find really wide plastic pry tools that make taking glued in batteries like this out a breeze, they look similar to drywall putty tools but plastic

I'm starting to wonder with the back panel, can we just have a combination of form and function by doing an interesting form of "glasstic" by using a clear plastic removable back coated with pigmented glass (allowing the phone to still wirelessly charge) and sacrificing a bit of the water resistance by having the back be removable and having a removable battery that's not stuck to the battery compartment...and keeping the dual sim/sd card tray. Having that would avoid so many problems with replacing parts. Unless it's a similar built phone that back isn't going on any other phone.

One of your better videos.. Congrats! 👍😉

I really like the idea of having a bracket around the battery. I bought a new laptop 6 months ago. The battery is built in but it is held in place by some Phillips head screws.

Hey Hugh I was wondering where you got those double sided adhesive from

I didn't even knew you could use a LCD panel on a phone that originally had amoled. The screen probably broke because it is slightly thicker than the stock amoled.

The advice you give is very helpful.

Good work champ. You gave your best.

7:27 - 2mm width, I assume. The thickness is likely 0.2mm.

It happens and the fact that it was a LCD and not a Oled that could have contributed to the screen breaking so easily.. Love your videos

Great work. I see You are learnig to repair phones with time You will be the best👍 heads up

Im trying my best to absorb every lessons and tecniques that he do when trouble shooting a problem in fixing gadgets....i love all of your videos teacher. :)

I'm about to watch it and my bet is either trouble removing battery, trouble sealing it or cracking replacement display, all of which I've done repairing Huawei P series before. ETA: Aaand it was all of them, Huawei's are by far the most difficult smartphones to fix from my experience, as every surface is brittle and glued together with what I assume is rubber cement. HJ did a good job with the battery, I struggle much more than that every time.

Fun tip for testing one of these batteries. You can actually unfold the flex to leave the battery on the outside of the frame when testing it. That way it won't constantly get stuck to that abysmal adhesive 🙂👍

Still a good job and I respect you posting this anyway!

Shame the repair didn’t go exactly to plan. Although the video was extremely entertaining and very informative. Great job as always.

Hugh, you’re a better man than me. I just would have bought a new frame with the display included.

Its better to use T7000 glue when installing lcd instead of double sided tape

You are very positive and patient

When changing out the display on Huawei I highly recommend one of the original service kits. They come pre-assembled on a new frame and most of them also have a brand new original batteri included.

That not p20 pro the model does not have wireless charging

😩 frustrating hopefully it’s fixable in a future update

Good job mate!!!

Nice to see at least you gave it a shot and is still working... The OLED screen will get this thing running.....

ngl that back looks really nice even when cracked.

2:15 it doesen't have wireless charging its an nfc pad

I work at MediaMarkt (largest electronics retailer in the Netherlands) and also do phone repairs. Normally with Huawei phones it isnt possible to order a screen alone. The screens always arrive with a new midframe (just like the Samsung S series) and a new battery.

Love your videos. Especially since you are Australian as well. One thing tho, if you could increase your video quality in the future that would be amazing. Maybe 1440p? Keep it up!

The p20 pro is viable for the android 10 update

Makes me glad that I still have my 5yo OPPO phone.

The mate 20 pro LYA-L09 single sim has wireless charging capability, I have also just recently repaired my own LYA-L09 with an OEM screen which was already attached to the mid frame. I obtained this part for a reasonable price on eBay. I was also able to remove the back cover without cracking it and without the use of heat although it took almost 2 hours to do so!

Nice video Hugh :) It is much easier to take a part the P10 Plus then P20 Pro. That was last high-end model they used alumminium instead of glass and it had 3.5 mm headphone jack. Maybe try to repair one of them :)

Ironic because the P10 was way easier to repair.

Watching this on my Huawei p20

The problem was that you either pressed too hard to make it stick to the adhesive, or you didnt clean the frame well enough and some chunks of the previous screen might have still be under the screen while you pressed it onto the frame. But yes I agree, pre installed frame + screen is always better.

I work on a repair shop and most phones that are bent even if slightly I always advise on a frame for a small additional cost, sadly a bunch other models got a similar frame to that one

that phone literally just hit by hammer.

just get a refund from the guy who scammed you since it was false advertised

I had the same problem repairing a cheaper huawei device - most difficult phone I've repaired yet. That plastic frame between the screen and the phone is such a pain to work with

If HJ can’t fix it then it can’t be done. HJ is the MJ of phone repair! 🏀📱

I miss that face 😍

jerry rigs everything and hughs fix everything 😂😂😂

Keep it up bro I did 2 note 9 screens last week, always order them with the frame it's a little bit more but worth saving you the time & headache later. btw what tape did you use on the LCD? Is it a Tesa tape?

Noticed the same issue with a P20 lite. Huawei parts online are not on par with original ones and so with the P20 lite the replacement screen wasn't as vibrant ,the replacement battery was junk and the camera just wasn't workin. Overall Huawei phones and essential phones are phones that simply can't be repaired easily

No one: ... Literally no one: ... Hugh Jeffereys: I am going to attemp to restore this Wawei P20 pro This is just a joke, but he actually said that at the begining

I have a mate 20 pro, which is the equivalent in the mate series. AU$600 For a screen replacement Edit: I slipped over and shattered it.

thank you for your videos!

God bless you im from morocco have a good day brother ❤💖💝💟🌷⚘

I'm actually early

That’s why I love iPhones! They are incredibly easy to repair (if you have the right programmer)

Such an wholesome voice😊

Best UKpostsr ever! Watching from Japan!

I watched this on a Huawei for entertainment

Nah ah Apple uses pull tabs on their battery’s they don’t glue the battery

Good to know. Having to look out for plastic pieces. I would most definitely broke it getting off screen.

the only "Gone Wrong" video i like

First!!!!

3:09 ikr, it's hurt to see what might be still a good battery being torn like that honestly

Do you think that the rubber gasket cause the screen to crack? Maybe was misplaced and pushed on the screen at bad angle.

I recently had to repair my old LG Stylo 4s broken screen and went with screen and frame as I've done just glass and digitizers on other phone before and was unhappy with the results I've broken a couple screens while installing them and hate life after which cause then had to use a old phone till I could upgrade or do a proper repair

I don't know how everybody else does it, but I like to use real guitar picks instead of the iFixit picks. I prefer the Dunlop Tortex brand guitar picks because the plastic they're made of is extremely durable and resists adhering to whatever glues and adhesives are inside the phone. You can get a bag of a dozen of these picks at any Guitar Center for just about $5. They come in all sorts of sizes and I usually use a the red, orange, and yellow for all my picking needs. They're great!

Hi love you channel :) keep up the good work. I have a question. I have samsung s6 edge plus that will not hard boot in os and will not turn on and no charge light on. Do you have an idea what could be wrong?

I actually did this too on ny first time replacing the oled on my p20.

Been there with my old p30 lite, it fell out of my pocket getting out of the car. Smashed the back and front so embarked on fixing it having never really opened a phone before. I had none of the proper tools but a hairdryer and some thin strips of plastic. Managed to remove the back, replaced the screen too and reassembled BUT.... It never really went back together properly despite using the manufacturer self adhesives. I tried various additional adhesives but they all failed when I charged the phone so I had no choice but to bond/glue them in place which isn't the way to do it I know but the bloody thing just wouldn't stay together (not warped in any way). It's been fine since though!

Back a couple years i had a p8-9 lite (can't remember which) but I had dropped it quite a few times, the back was completely ruined but it had shattered into large shards, and they kept falling off, and then the adhesive that was holding it down has worn out, and the ohone could open like a book, but somehow it still worked, it was insane

Hugh, I tried to replace battery in my P20 Pro, used liquid T-7000 glue to adhere back panel on, but after some time I noticed that my screen gone green and after that it went completely black even if sound was working. Is it possible for glue to damage oled panel like this?

Can't wait for the iPhone video to come out!
