With that whole thing you talked about used batteries being sold as new, I ran into this total scam just yesterday. I bought a "new" battery for a Motorola Droid turbo 2 on Amazon. It was one of the ones you said with a sticker on it. The battery was completely dead and didn't work at all. I decided to peel the sticker off and underneath was a motorola logo and a big "x" on it. This makes me think it was a genuine battery taken out of a phone which they knew was bad and then sold it to me as new.

@michaelboot 2 жыл бұрын

The problem with the home and sleep button of the gold iphone has to do with pry damage between the battery and motherboard caused most likely by the previous owner trying to get out the battery with a tool because the pull sticker breaks easily. I know this because I have had done this exact thing once causing me to have these buttons not working (always pressing). When looking on the motherboard next to the battery with a microscope you should be able to see missing electrical components that are responsible for the sleep/home button function.

Years ago the company that owned Suncoast movies and Musicland stores did a test concept store (20 total locations) that would "paint" your phone any color you wanted including car brand specific colors among other items such as DVD/CD on demand -- producing DVDs of shows/movies that were low priority, damaged, or out of print, custom screen printing of clothing, reprinting thousands of movie/concert posters and other niche items all with the authority of the product owners. Sadly Suncoast didn't continue it in spite of the massive success of those locations
