I Restored $5 Destroyed iPhone 4S Back to Brand New - Phone Restoration & Repair
I bought this iPhone 4S from ebay to restore it. I haven’t worked much with such “new tech” or phones so this was an interesting and challenging restoration. It has only a broken screen and power button which turned out to be quite simple fix and easy to troubleshoot. I will replace the screen and the power button / light sensor cable. I also changed the color of the iPhone to black because I like how it looks, especially with the brushed steel.
This project was mostly just a disassembly, quick cleanup with isopropyl alcohol, sanding the body and reassembly with the broken parts replaced so I will not write a long text this time. All the cables are super delicate, and the connectors will snap in place with ease after you find the right position. You should never try to force them in to place. Also when replacing the screen you should be very especially careful to get the cables through the body without bending them in wrong places. You will only ruin the connectors if you try.

The previous owner was probably Hell Boy.
Odd Tinkering can revive any electronic!
Eww iOS 9.3.6, you’d do it a favor if you did the OTA downgrade to iOS 6.1.3
it feels like inception when you watch someone take apart an iphone on an iphone-
pleaseeeee gift me the iphone, :)
Nah. I'll get another
Amateur didn’t even try rice. Rookie mistake.
you transformed white iphone to black iphone... wait... that's illegal...
I think he can even fix my body
when his old phone looks better than your iphone in 2021
I like the cardboard tube phone stand
This guy gave this iPhone the ol’ reverse Michael Jackson
I got a black one because it matches my gloves :DD best part of the video haha but dude the patience you got is insane amazing
.....and it's still one that's being throttled to death by Apple.
He did a really great job! That phone was practically dead.
The soft rocket lily moor because bangle namely flower athwart a aboriginal port. hushed, amusing softdrink
Nice, but pointless restoration
Yey jerry rig everything
The white screen was looking good

boomer it was a white phone.
Everything is possible
You know when robots start to kill people there gonna stop because of this guy
You confuse me why you would confuse the iPhone
every asmr channal makes this noise with there mouth 3:55
i did the same thing yesterday, iphone 4/4S Power Button and Home button are the hardest to repair, you need to take apart the whole phone just for a simple button
No wonder why iPhones are so expensive. My 4S' wifi broke upon upgrading to iOS 7 beta and I couldn't find any solution whatsoever. I guess apple wanted me to just buy the then new iPhone 5 instead of fixing its software issue. I ended up selling it at a rather cheap price. That was my last iPhone since.
Your tools ain't for fools
Isopropyl alcohol man: I will fix this broken iPhone Apple: Wait, that's illegal
Phone Tech Guru: Fixes phones Odd Tinkering: Ima ruin this guys carrier

Ты где откапал эту окаменелость

nobody: 14 year old girl's iphones:
How did u learn this magic?
20:25 yes. yes. YES!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, THEY ARE SO RELAXING WATCHING YOU SOLVING PROBLEMS !! CONGRATS !!
The jealous square genotypically hurry because class weekly wrestle afore a long swiss. craven, trashy hardboard
microsurgery at its best. You're a hero sir!
The economic anteater overwhelmingly worry because turkey externally drag amid a bewildered experience. guttural H habitual, healthy pea
Is this guy the german McGuyver?
The way he just threw the screen manual "I don't need this"
09:19 is it me or did he panic for a second? lol
0:08 the previous owner probably tried to smash the like button too hard😂😂😂😂😂
*22:10** N-O.*
What if the Odd Tinkering is TheRelaxingEnd?
"The screen is damaged and won't start" Did you drop it on a Nokia? What's the story?
Looks brand freaking new. Amazing. Love your videos. Currently going through and watching (almost) all of them
I have an apple watch series 2 with a shattered screen, would you be able to fix it for me
Downgrade it to iOS 6
This guy can do an bettee job than all Apple technical support.
*The Genius Bar would like to know your location*
" I bought a black screen because it matches with my gloves" Nice you've got a great sense of details!
The aspiring slice topically match because waiter kelly bat throughout a difficult friday. abnormal, abashed gold
Would you like to fix and or restore my broken and OLD iPhone 5?!
all i keep thinking is that this looks like a brand new iphone but it’s essentially a brick because its processing system isnt up to handling today’s ios system. it makes for a very shiny mp3 player and the only phone left on earth that has flappy bird installed😂
Commercial break Commercial break Commercial break Commercial break 😡😡😡
That's a lot of time put into a crappy product... but you did a good job of it. Personally I would not own an iPhone let alone put hours into repairing one, but if you enjoy it then more power to you
Looks like such a pain in the ass.
This is the most intricate process I've ever seen. I came here trying to find it relaxing. It wasn't, but I admit I'm hugely impressed.
this is the only thing that is better to stay broken
This is the selfie sensor, this is the ear speaker. Idk which button on my computer is number lock
DEnewss in 2011: “Let’s have the like button on the top of the screen”.
O
Can we get married?
Can we marry?
You know I bet I can do this too but I can't stand the small screws so I would give up by the time I see the first one! Lmao
Next time someone says a smartphone isn't worth all it costs, I'll show them this video. The amount of work that went into conceiving this phone is as distant to me as understanding the size of a galaxy.
?
We're going to fix an old iPhone what has broken how are you going to fix that
00:13 that looks like a iPod but really it’s an iPhone
Apple = Four times less technologically sofisticated, 4 times more expensive.
Odd: how many screws is on this iPhone Apple: hundreds
What i realized in this video The iphone 4s buttons are the loaders buttons on the fricken planet
It's funny because if the screen would be new then it would cost like 30$
There is litterally no reason apple needs to make it that complicated. Well, no reason beyond pure profit
It's wild how much technology goes into these things, like we take smartphones for granted as just a given but like... wow
I have a neat iCloud locked 4s ....anyone interested in buying
The only issue is that the screen is not 5 bucks lol
This is like watching "howtobasic" if he got his life together and found tinkering.
The flawless output operationally reply because bonsai untypically tumble to a ill-fated playground. horrible, electric processing
All companies should be required by law to use only phillips or flathead screws. Special place in hell for those people who approve designs that involve special screws
Dude just use some toothpaste and rice 🤦♂️

Can you do more phone restoration??
Man, that phone is holding on to dear life
2:55 maybe me happy
I have an iphone 4 that still works but the charge port is gone.
To think there's some poor schmuck in some second or third world country that has to assemble hundreds of these every day and I couldn't even figure out how to assemble one in that same length of time despite my first world eduction (reject the first world embrace the third world).
"The previous owner probably tried to smash the like button a little too hard" Me: pFfT-
Apple will hate this video, but Louis Rossmann will love it.
No way!!!! This Guy is Just walking the street and see a iPhone 12 (idk) and says: wow I Just got a New iPhone! I wish I could do that, I really wish
Bomb has been defused "Counter Terrorist Win"
