This is so simple, people stop buying this trash and the company will stop making it near impossible to repair them. But nope! People are morons and they continue to buy and thus the company has no reason to not make it harder and harder to repair them. Once a moron always a moron.
Even if you do all this work, manage to buy the spares and by some miracle it all goes back together… all you have is a Galaxy Fold 4, sadly.
SANA OLLLLLLLLLLLL
Your skill is amazing to watch !
In various Tech-based environments, I have known many Licensed technicians. They come in two flavors Competent, professional, Confident…. Or sketchy as Fu***. I'm in the middle – VERY experienced and with a few bit of paper to my name. But I also know when to walk away from something and say "Sorry – I can't do that". I'm old – 50…. and I see the kids coming through and you can't help but judge them. Some are absolute fucking geniuses. I mean… they do things I would NEVER think of. But most….. most…… are morons, given a screwdriver. Unfortunately is takes a few years to figure out A from B.
I use to work for a major US based repair company that is partnered with Samsung, and am certified/licensed to repair their phones, so yes we exist. Also yes, we never remove the inner screen, Samsung does not repair that screen and will usually just replace the phone or it will require a complete body/frame replacement that houses the inner screen.
Even though the repairability cost of folding phones is really high and it's unnecessarily complicated tech, I just got the Fold4 with a pretty nice discount, since the shop is selling out their stock to stock up on Fold5's, and I gotta say, the multitasking capabilities and just usability alone on that huge screen is just amazing. And then you fold it in half and it fits in any pocket. It's just awesome and well worth the money I paid for it, which is about half it's original launch price.
apple has only licensed people fixing any apple product,dummy.
folding phones will always be rich people's fragile toys
As someone who works as an actual Samsung Repair Technician, I can assure you we would never remove a screen that way lol
did you try to charge it without battery?
i doubt its heat resistant gasket, that stuff is very low modular and barely hold onto anything, its probably just a heat resistant version of the glue they been using all along. i use heat resistant gasket all the time and it does not stick well, you could literally just pull it apart, its a very weak substance and is designed to be held between 2 bolted together materials.
Does the S pen come with a Hackblood Charge?
I am an "un licensed "tech I just got asked to quote one of these your video helped alot thank you
You never put the same batteries back after you used The Force to remove them. You got yourself a brand new fire hazard.
He didn't mention that the phone technician's license was a "license to thrill." 🤣
Whatever happened to external screws
Noice!
I need your help, friends, I have 1 fold 4 that I disassembled to change the screen. I changed it and it's ok, but now when I open it, it doesn't detect that it's open and it only goes to the small screen. What sensor is responsible for that? It is magnetic swnsor seems to go ok thanks friends
You can use IR ceramic heat plate – it does not need direct contact. One like they use as bottom heater in cheap PCB hot air stations. Just stick the thermocouple on the metal part near battery not to overheat it.
Can I send you mine and I'll pay for the replacement ? Lol, every repair area is backlogged for months and doesn't have my screen
There is no reason a major component should ever be attached with adhesive, i love manufacturers intentionally sabotaging repairability.
Good news, that kind of phones will be ban from EU in a few years. Batterie's will have to be easily replaced.
You should be giving licences.
just like "the cameraman never dies", ever repair video always ends in a successful repair, so good job mate.
5:44 hey! You are not supposed to use metal to pry the battery out.
perhaps there isn't a license but there is however a certification available from samsung
why you say z wrong
3:20 i have noticed that you sometimes cause damage because you use the wrong tools. When folding the copper back, use a soft tool or even your fingers, you wont leave grooves from the pick
To answer your question about phone still having warranty. I bought a flip 4 that had warranty until 2025 and the hinge was popped out. Samsung is refusing warranty repairs on all those devices citing impact damage even if there isn`t any and the devices have known faults with the hinge design. Bought mine for £120 and repair cost me another £75, so £200 all together still not bad for a phone that`s £1000 brand new from samsung.
10:01, is there another way to remove the excess glue after its dried. I have some spillage on the side of the crack. Would alcohol do it? if
its not coming out with the hand completely.
I'm pretty impressed.
Very satisfying good work this is an awesome phone
Samsung does not have "logic" boards either. That is purely a crApple cult affection.
I love your videos 😊
