  • Hello, I'm Julius and I'm the owner of Phone Fixed Craft.

  • So today I'm gonna show you how a clean and repair a damaged iPhone.

  • My job is to actually phone repairs, including micro soldering and data recovery and stuff like that.

  • And the cleaning is just, it's not that it's a huge part of our business.

  • It's just fixed phones that we see that they need some cleaning.

  • So the first step, you have to remove those two bottom screws, which every iPhone has,

  • We open up the screen.

  • The phone had a broken screen and the owner of the phone used, used it for a good while with that broken screen.

  • So the all the internals of the phone were exposed to, to whatever was in customer's pocket.

  • So, it's actually a fire hazard.

  • So we tried to remove every loose bit from the inside of the phone.

  • But once it's loose, I would use compressed air like a gun.

  • The dirtiest parts would be the charging port on all kinds of phones, not only iPhones.

  • But actually, it doesn't look dirty if you just look at it with naked eye.

  • And the microscope I have here is it's my most loved tool.

  • It's gonna come with me when I die.

  • I would just clean every phone, every speaker, every earpiece and every charging port under this uh this microscope.

  • This tool we use for charging-port cleaning is something similar to a metal toothpick.

  • It's just a little bit thinner and sharper.

  • So now I'm going to clean years' worth of pocket lint and dust from the charging port that's experiencing charging issues.

  • The charging ports would be usually filled with the like pocket lint from your jeans and then whatever is in your pocket really.

  • If you had a cookie there, you would have some crumbs or something like that.

  • You can see what color threads of trousers or pants.

  • I'm not sure in the United States if it's trousers or pants.

  • So what you see here, it's actually the content of the charging port, of what we usually would find there.

  • So it's just the pocket lints really, pocket lints and dust.

  • I will use the same tool that I use for clean charging ports to clean the really heavy clogged speakers as well.

  • We do get phones that are really dirty and messed up, but for us, it's just normal, you know, medics are not surprised by injuries or something like that.

  • It's their job, so for us, it's yeah.

  • So, in this phone, the battery has already started to swell, and the customer agreed to get it replaced.

  • We remove the battery. We attached the new pull tabs to a new battery.

  • We just need to apply a new display adhesive before putting everything back together.

  • So once the screen is pressed back into the frame, we just need to put the last two screws in, and it's ready to be cleaned before giving it back to the customer.

  • You just have to solve a puzzle, you know, to get the thing working.

  • And this is especially rewarding if a few other shops deemed it unfixable and then it comes to you and you accept the challenge and you actually get that fixed.

  • It's nice.

  • It's that's what I really love.
