Screws management may seem superfluous, as they are often not seen, but these are the details that make the difference in the repairman. Nice video as always.

That's so pathetic, they really think they can charge for that shotty repair? I'd be disgusted to hand that back to the customer

This is why brands can say that "independant repair is a scam" Screw this place, they are destroying the reputation of this industry. I bought 10 iphone 6's for a class I teach and my 12 year olds swapped out the battery and display with all screws making it back to the proper places.

Reminds me of when my wife's Google Pixel was "repaired", by an authorised repair partner. She had to send it back first because they didn't remove an internal film, blocking the front camera. After a short while it stopped working. Turns out they had fixed the battery adhesive tabs at the wrong place, they went over an internal ribbon cable, when eventually broke under the pressure, then with the battery moving around , the cable for that broke and the phone stopped working entirely. I also found they had snapped off an internal microphone ribbon cable, there's no way they didn't notice this as the microphone itself was not in the phone, just the end of the ribbon cable.

To align easily your USB C port, hook it up to a USB C cable. That way, you’ll get the near perfect alignment

shame to see cheap companies claim they’re better than one another when in reality they’re all the same, using bad parts. good job with this repair and keep them coming man!

The attention to detail is what separates a good repair shop from a bad one. Cheers, Hugh!

One of the last really good phones from HMD Global. The build quality, cameras, timely updates under the android one program, were top notch. They've kinda lost their way now. Glad to see this phone restored and getting new life breathed into.

did you mean to say rectified instead of resurrected? because i think the latter means "brought back to life" edit: also i've found the easiest way to clean dried liquid adhesive is using a dry rag. that way you won't have sore fingers and you'll clean any fingerprints off the screen at the same time

The shop is an example of why Right to Repair is being lobbied negatively. It's just sad that there's a lot of shops worldwide like these...

These videos are really inspiring to me as someone who hasn't really dabbled with phone repairs due to more and more of them putting adhesive to keep them shut.

Bad companies these days not only charging almost 100 of what ever currency he was using but he literally made the phone worse it’s good that high Jeffrey’s called him out though 👍

I had one of those. Bought it as parts with an inflated battery, fixed it and used it for half a year before buying a different phone. I loved the way it looked.

Watching it on my own 7 Plus. I can't bring myself to replace this masterpiece. I love this phone so much.

I had a Nokia 7+, the charging port was broken on it too... they're apparently really prone to breaking. I got mine repaired by my carrier, was like £40 but was repaired properly (screen replacement and charger replacement). Good phone though, great mid price phone a few years ago.

I love Hugh's videos. I can attest to a very poor repair where the screen starting coming off... out in the community hard to know who will do a good job or not.

Glad to know that (a) you managed to help someone else out, since they wanted to sell the phone, and (b) get it back into full working order! :)

This is the main reason why I consider a new phone when my trust and worthy runs to it's end. Some time I had faith in official service centers, which ended up with similar states as Jeffrey's "this is how it looked when it came to me". Then I tried my local repair shops. Well, paid the money for the repair guy taking my phone to some party with him... when I came out of the shop I realized my phone was filled with a ton of drunkard photos and contact list. Plus the repair lasted for two weeks... I literally don't hate my phone that much to give it in hands of poor quality shops. And you can never guess if that one is true or it just has friends/paid reviews...

Dude, you work miracles! Every video of yours that I watch I'm amazed with so much care and dedication, congratulations!

Hey, Hugh. I think Nokia 7 is probably the best Nokia phone they ever made. Especially the white version, it looks really clean. Cheers!

I have this exact phone and it's an absolute tank. Dropped it multiple times without a case or screen protector, and the metal on the sides has scraped but the screen doesn't have a single crack.

Always Love the content I look forward to Everytime you upload a video

That was soothing. Thank you for fixing this with care.

Wow, really nice work and kudos for your ability to do some fine detail mods like that!

What an amazing job ! Much love from Egypt Hugh ♥️

Hi Hugh! Huge fan of your repair videos! Hope that your store can ship to the Philippines very soon. 🙏🏻

Such a gorgeous phone, I had a similar experience with breakages and a shoddy repair. Shame the new Nokia phones (or most for that matter) don't look this good anymore

Top work. How others can put their name on shoddy workmanship is beyond me. Love seeing your repairs.

Excellent job as always and hell yeah the copper/black looks amazing!

Wish there was more honest repair people out there like Hugh Jeffrey. Phone looks great too if I may say so.😎😎

This is the reason that I subscribe this guy. Making Phone restoration look easy and also shaming on Fake Repair Shops. 10/10 Video mate.

Your repairs are so clean cleaner than my life

Fantastic to see another phone saved from the e waste and a repair done correctly great work Hugh

Great repair. It a shame repair companies are cutting corners. Repairs should be done with respectful and honest people, like you. Keep the videos coming as always good to see new videos

Phones and tablets are so tough to repair with all those tiny screws and cables, but you always do a great job, Hugh! You could also feasibly use a plastic pick to remove excess glue, if the pick was soft enough of course!

Clean repair as always Jeff! 🔥

It took me 3 minutes to find the name of that repair shop. Luckily I live in VIC and there's no chance of me running into them. You should make a personal website and encourage your "customers" to leave a review with the offending store's name. Or something like that. To run a physical shop, I can only imagine how many people they've ripped off and will continue to rip off until someone does something about this. That was the most botched "un-repair" job I've ever seen. Seeing that poor phone made my jaw drop.. *Sheer Incompetence.*

Nokia 7+ was one of the best phones of 2018. Thanks for repairing a Nokia phone

I had a Nokia7+ and it was repaired the same way after, the screen was slightly elevated and you can see the glue with light dropping through. Still worked after though so I kept using it. Just to mention that this series of Nokia phones has several issues (software and hardware) and Nokia had been completely unhelpful in resolving them. Anyways, great video Hugh!

You are always doing an awesome job. keep it up.

I would love to see you repair more HMD/Nokia devices as they are solid mid range phones. I would rather send my phone to be repaired by someone like Hugh as he knows that it's the little details that make all the difference.

Ive seen some bad repair shop damaged devices but wow this was bad i cant believe repair shops get away with this and its scary to think there are many out there that eill do this but you shure did a great job repairing the device keep up the amazing work

I love this phone is so beautiful I wish more companies do this color too

This phone is one of my all time favorites in terms of how it looks

I love watching your videos! Extremely entertaining and satisfying. Don't know why I haven't subscribed. Will do now.

I love how to fix phones that needs fixing I love your content good doing what you do

Always make my day thanks Hugh From Nigeria

Amazing Video, Hugh!

9:40 You should have used ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to clean the excess adhesive that would make it easier. Thanks for the video. I always see these challenges in the repair room as a technician at Nokia Care in Africa

It’s so fascinating to see hugh fixing mobile phones ☺️

i love this era of Nokia phones. built like a brick with premium materials, clean software, good value

Fantastic walk-through, as ever. 👍🏽👍🏽 (When looking at the charging port, you say, '...resurrect said issue' - now, as a fellow writer, I knew you meant something else, & it was frustratingly at the tip-of-my-tongue for a few seconds, & then it came - 'rectify'!)

Had a 7 plus for a year and a half. Great phone and great screen! Decent battery too! I bought new for $300 down from $570

I have a Nokia 3.1 in the colours of blue and copper, they go together really well.

Just seeing how bad the previous repair makes my eyes hurts; it's ridiculously awful. Very nice job again, Hugh!!!

I loved Nokia 7’s design. It carried the old Nokia’s design language well. Also a good repair job there.

Passion is the key to good job.

Those are damn solid devices. I have its smaller cousin the 6.1, which I replaced the battery last summer. They might not have fiery performance, but they are tools that you can rely upon. I'm not gentle with my phones, but it's three years of ownership, and the device still performs like first. Edit: Going on the 5th year of ownership, on its 3rd battery, and still going strong.

We need adhesive strings like a floss roll of adhesive or smt that is small enough for the edges

I have had a few phones where i have had to use liquid adhesive and found the best thing after the screen is in place is to put it on a flat surface , piece of kitchen cloth on the screen and then several heavy books to keep it pressed down

Back after some time ... love u jeff

great video as always! keep it up!

I was cringing throughout the whole disassembly from the awfully botched repair. Good to see the phone finally got some love with a proper repair.

Is that Lambton? Had a bad experience them when, attempting to find a vendor to fix my pixel 6 pro as it had it's screen cracked, I gave my phone to them. When I got back I had found my phone refusing to charge. It's people like you who make the world better, Thanks🙂

When it comes to device repair, it's hard to know who to trust. So far, I'd only trust the manufacturer, Best Buy, or myself. We can put an end to repair scams. It all comes down to using common sense

🥰 lovely restoration

What the heck is this repair! Like the repair was done by a kid. Thankfully we have Hugh to save the day.

This is why you find trusted people

Had this phones years ago, i wish nokia would still make phones in this style and form factor. I loved the copper accents on the black.

I appreciate tech repairs even if it's an unpopular device awesome content 😎👍

I love your Videos Hugh! 👍

I love the copper and black color scheme as well.

It's so cool how you modded the microphone grommet

Great job as always 👍 Nokia 7 plus was my top 5 phone which I want years ago :) Edit: i like that copper and black combo, too. I remember in 2017-2018 there were leaks that iPhone XS and XS max will be in copper. It was beautiful but they hadn’t release it😮‍💨😂

amazing repair

I have the xacto wood box kit of that knife set. It is worth the extra few bucks, the blade quality really is huge.

Watching this video on similar phone and hope Hugh Jeffery also fix my phone's display's corner backlight being blackout issue. Don't have bucks to replace the screen but want to hold on to my loving phone.. being with me for past 5 years since 2016

Hey Hugh, I have a challenge for you. Take an iphone that's badly damaged, and try to make It fully functional by spending as little money as possible. Get an old, used display that could be cracked, reuse the battery, try to fix a Bent frame. I think it would be a fun challenge!

Hello Hugh!! Great job on the phone repair!! What tape adhesive do you use?? Brand and type?? Thanks

This experience hits so close to home for me. My charging port died last summer, and I asked a local shop for a quote for replacement. They quoted me for 30 bucks if repair was to succeed or no charge if the screen cracks during removal ( obviously ). Went ahead and took the phone in as if it works out at least I can resell it. Two days later I got it back, charges superbly.. but the screen is messed up with huge patches of dead pixels. It did not break but the heat needed and the prying they did surely killed it. They offered that they can replace the screen however the original parts cost half the resale value, I could confirm this myself. Chinese LCD seem to be more miss than hit for this model. So now I have a shoddy repaired phone that I cannot use or sell besides for repairs. I would love it to have it fixed but giving the same shop more money is just... If only my screen was mounted back this bad I could maybe fix it, but its glued on really well :)) as opposed to Hugh's example

Im starting to watched and liked your videos. Subbed! 👍

Seen similar in the UK, a friend took her phone in for repair, they gave it back saying they couldn't fix it. So she came to see me and I pointed her towards a decent place that's been around for 20 years. Well, they couldn't fix it....................................................................because the 1st shop had stolen most of the inside of the phone.

I just had a go at pulling mine apart after it sat around for a few years....I think I overheated the screen and managed to crack it trying to pry it open it's not as easy as some of the repair videos make it look. I wish I knew about the suction gadget you mentioned!

A year ago needed a screen replacement on a iPhone 5s. But not long after that the iPhone broke because of water damage and I decided to open it myself and found out the the shop stole some of my brackets and screws

Beautifully made 🤟😍

This coming from someone who has deal with this kind of butcher on a weekly basis, Nokia screens are not fun to remove, however can be done reliably with practice, and be careful when cleaning the tape on those screens, when removing the tape or glue it can pull the adheasive that holds the backlight to the lcd, not fun, and also get some Tesa tape from if ifixit, it is the best tape for cell phone repairs, I’ve used that tape you had there and in my experience it can be too thick for certain repairs, aswell as not hold as well as Tessa tape, fun fact, iPads are taped down with the stuff, also, thank you for sharing this kind of information to the public, I manage a repair centre and it’s always so fun to see someone else’s take with things like this

One of my fav android phone, vanilla android with sturdy and elegant hardware , that’s Nokia 7 plus for you 🔥💥💗

Phone repair guru is the best

I have always liked the way this phone looked.

I have two of these with faulty charging ports. I'm just too scared to take them in and end up with a hack job like we saw at the start. Great phone besides this latent defect.

Me watching this video on my Nokia 7+😂. As a user since 4.5 years I can confidently that this phone never let me down in terms of performance till this date👌

I still have bad memories of a repair shop near college NOT repairing the wireless functionality on my PSP 1000! I dropped the PSP and I got the stuck WLAN switch problem. The wireless functionality did still work, but after I got it "fixed", the switch could click into place again, but wireless functionality no longer worked and the charging port also didn't work anymore! I took it back, they got the charging port working again but wireless STILL wasn't restored! I took it back again and again, wireless STILL NOT FIXED! In the end, my parents got me a 3000 model PSP.

good job man!

A small screw can blow up the whole phone & a small water drop can change the whole mother board in a laptop. A repair man told me that needs to change the whole board instead of one small core ic I spend so much money on it. we can't find professionals like you bro. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in 2014 i brought my ipod touch 4th generation to a mall kiosk repair shop to replace a shattered glass screen, and the result looked shockingly similar to this. the screen was popping out, the buttons were squishy and got stuck, and the home button was sat so far deeper than the display that it was genuinely uncomfortable to press. i know that specific model ipod is very tricky to repai, but wow, i'm not exaggerating when i say i prefered the shape it was in prior to the repair.

This was mind boggling. I've seen 8 year olds who could do a better job of repairs, my great nephew for one. Thanks for another great video Hugh.

How hard would it be if this is what I wanted to do as my job?

Great repair Hugh, the original one was shocking, hope he wasn't charged for the front screen that they broke whilst doing the repair

the repairs I used to do for friends in elementary school ended up better than this phone after that shop... pretty outrageous

I am glad to see you not naming and shaming as much as it would be a good thing for potential future customers to be aware of but without concrete proof of such behaviours that welcomes things like lawsuits 😂 - great repair as always it’s sad that Nokia which was once a heavyweight in the phone industry now it’s fallen from grace. They did do some awesome phones tho I mean we all remember the 3310 right? That was a unit of a phone!
