I have more e-waste obviously. I had two more packages prepared. That i did not show in the last post.
List:
* Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500)
* Lumia 1020 (RM-877)
These are not repairs i ordered new, these are repairs i already received last time (on 24/12/2024), i just didnt fix them on time.
For the 10.1 -- I bought a touch glass because the old one was broken, but i lacked the tools to do such fix, so i lended the piece and the tablet to a Repair shop to do it for me.
For the Lumia device, i bought a USB port replacement as the old one broke. This one i did it myself.
The lumia was notably more time consuming as after doing the repair, i did not properly put the frame correctly.
(For those who arent aware: To switch out the usb port you must unglue the metal frame from the plastic frame.)
As such, i had to dissasemble it 3 times to put it properly (the frame) so the screen would fit in and remain.
The screen also notably needs to be reglued as even with the finished proper frame, it still pops up in one side. The glue has worn down apparently.
The time line is essentially this: In 2022, i ordered a new screen to replace the broken one. I found out the USB port is broken.
In 2024, i bought the USB port. I have fixed the device properly today. but the port was there since the start of this week.
Phone before screen repair:

Phone repair finished:
I'd like to point out, perhaps this is a very notable phone to me. It has lived thru quite a lot.
I have not personally owned this device, it was from a familiar. But if the phone had a sentience. I believe it would know a lot and seen a story play out.
It's seen manufacturing back in 2013. It's seen relationship abuse up until 2016. It's seen a dysfunctional family until 2016.
Today, it's seen miscare and finally - repairs. Care. Love.
It will not remain mine. This will be gifted to another familiar of mine, not for use but for collection purposes. They asked for it.
Also, just a fun fact but -- those 4 missed calls on the lock screen, are from 2016! The phone was last used that year! Its quite amusing to me.
On the other hand, a device i've owned and has seen my irresponsibility and finally some care this year:
The P7500.
I ordered a white glass to match its case.
Before the repair:
I then lend it to a trusty shop with the part to change the glass. It took 2 days, and finally another because i didn't see the message to pick it up in time.
After the repair:
I am pleased with the result of both devices.
The 1020 was planned to get a case, but i was unable to find any in AliExpress. Ebay and Amazon are way too expensive for me to consider.*
(* seriously, importing taxes + paypal + regular purchase taxes + courier + the service's own shipping thing is NOT cheap.)
Happy Holidays - I am receive of package and Also Repair a Lot Of my e-Waste Date: 24/12/2024
I have a lot of e-Waste. Some of it Repair required.
List:
* HUWI Mate 20 Lite (BackGlass Issue)
* S7 Edge (BackGlass Issue)
* Note 5 (The Statal Model with Carrier Locked Bootloader) (Screen Issue)
* XIMI Redmi Note 8 Pro (Missing BackGlass. I dont Know Where it Went)
I order All these repair from popular AliExpress site 2 to 3 weeks ago. Maybe. I think.
First ones to get replacement. S7 Edge for BackGlass. I own for Long Time so i Want Fix since the screen Perfect State.
The change of Color. Is not odd. I have requested Gold backglass Since the front is also Gold.
The change ended pleasing for me.
Next one was my old but beloved Huawei.
I was quite drained when i did this one, so it ended up unpleasing. I re-did it the day after but more properly to not have gaps in between the frame and back. It is now pleasing.
Also, i had to manually glue the Camera Lens and Finger print, this is not Issue. I knew this when ordering product.
Next, i did the XIMI phone
It also ended unpleasing. I re-did this one the next day as well and it came out better due to the pressure being put more properly. I ended up being pleased.
The last one would be the Note phone.
It pleasing. It ended fine. Somehow. I did not screw this one somehow. I was very happy and when i went to get the cases for them the day after. It all fit in so well. Very lovely.
Some notes
The mate 20 Lite, require more repair. The speaker does not work. And the glue has clouded the screws. I cannot get the screws out. It is somewhat hard. I am unpleased by this but nevertheless. still Like it. The phone is externally astounding. But the inside is a mess. I do not know what to do with it since even if i update it. It is useless due to sound issue. The screws are impossible to take out. So i cannot replace speaker.
Update: I have received a Nokia Android Phone. It is G20 model. This is from my aunt. I am deciding on whether or not to buy repairs to get it back to Pristine condition. The screen is cracked. And the camera outer lens. I will require two pieces to buy. But it is costly.
