your welcome

Thanks :)

Anytime :)

Battery IS held in with something like butyl rubber... sticky and possibly destructive if not heated first. Heat up a sock with rice in the microwave for a few minutes and let the phone sit on it for a bit. Battery comes up with a little constant pressure.

By the way, for a battery replacement, you can stop at 3:04. After you get the battery disconnected, just heat up the phone behind the battery to loosen the butyl. Constant pressure to get unstuck, and pop out the battery.

@@blackntan150 thank you for this man.. i don't know what LG were thinking when they did that...

Hello, I'm curious how hot it need to release the first part plastic shell/ or battery, since battery are not okay with heat. anyone know?

They made it impossible to remove the battery on the G8 if you try you're going to destroy the phone

I think the made it for purpose. Push to people to buy the new one.

@@boglyukov That's usually the case.

@@kevinwhiting8391 I barely got battery on v40 out without it ripping open and exploding is it really different than g8??

after you removed the back glass and the plastic cover exposing the main board, you can try n disconnect the cable and heat up the front of the screen and try prying off the screen, but It would be difficult putting the new screen back and passing the screen cable through the midframe without removing the main board first since there is very little room to work with for passing the cable through the midframe.

You're welcome :)

You can, but it would give you very little room to pry the battery off. You don't want to bend too much or stab the battery or else it can short n catch fire. Also if you want to replace the charger port flex, you need to remove the main board to disconnect the cable that is attached under the main board.

Not sure how to check without taking it apart. Maybe one of those X-ray photos or something of the phone.

It's held down with adhesive, but is removable. Just gently apply heat with a hair dryer and gently pry it off. Try not to bend the battery too much so you don't pierce it or short it.

Ya pretty much all flagships would have some type of aluminum midframe. Thanks!

If you damaged the sim reader pins inside the sim tray, it won't detect a sim. They are fragile and can break if you stick a tool in there or a sim the wrong way etc.

Sometimes they have a small square rubber cover that goes over the gold small microphones to prevent excess noise etc. Probably yours fell out.

@@PBKreviews Maybe. But more likely I broke the motherboard or the audio path. There is no noise in headphone but a lot in voice record through whether mics on phone or mics on headphone. I'm so regret.

@@jimmygiven6966 hmm its possible.

Hi, as far as PC connection, make sure you have downloaded the LG usb drivers and installed them on your computer so it would detect the phone. You can try this website: www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560 . As for the camera, it could be a bad or blurry lens cover or bad camera itself causing that to happen. Not 100% sure.

On the G7 or the LG V40? since you commented on the LG V40 video. However I think you should be fine.

@@PBKreviews Sorry, V40, just came from a G7. Thanks for the info!

@Boe Dillard Just be sure to stock up on replacement batteries a.s.a.p. Who knows when they'll be discontinued, since LG stopped producing replaceable battery models. The V20 was a great phone. I still have my old one and about 4 spare batteries along with a charger.

Check the top and bottom plastic covers with the white or light grey antenna lines and make sure they are seating properly and screwed down in place because they have contacts underneath that make a connection with contact points on the main board which give them signal. Also check and make sure all cables are connected properly.

likely your charging port need to be swapped out.

lol

your welcome

hey i have a question is the lg v20 good still to play current games not like pubg but similar ones like db legends if you know what it is

I prefer to use a hair dryer as well since a heat gun is too much direct heat and I am more comfortable using the hair dryer for more even heat spread. You don't need to over do it, just evenly heat up the back with the hair dryer so its hot to the touch and then you can also use a suction tool for smartphones to help you pull up and gain leverage between the back and the frame to get a pry tool in between.

If you are replacing just the glass portion, it should be held on with just adhesive, you can heat it up and pry it off. But if you are replacing the entire lens assembly cover (which is the part from the other side of the back plate/battery door), then you will have to remove the back plate first.

Hi, I'm not sure its been a while since I did the video. When installing the screws don't tighten too hard and the ones you feel have some resistance toward the end will probably be the ones that require the shorter screw and you can swap them out.

The tough digitizer alone is not replaceable by end users. You need special tools and machines and need to be a pro at it.

No since there is not enough room to allow for a larger battery to fit in the compartment and also the connectors would have to be located in the same place to connect to the main board

Unless you apply new waterproof adhesive, then it wont be ip68 resistant

Thanks. Yes there are 2 mics. The secondary mic on top is soldered onto the main board and would not be user replaceable. Would require soldering skills etc. Try making sure the mic hole on the frame is not clogged, use a brush to brush out the hole etc.

@@PBKreviews Thanks for your reply. I bought my LGV40 on eBay and for some reason nobody can hear me on calls. The sound is terrible. I'll give that a go.

@@PBKreviews Hi, I had the bottom mic on my V40 replaced because the sound quality on calls was terrible. I still have the same problem. Do you think this could be a problem with the main board and is it possible to replace this? Thanks for any advice

@@seancyril70 if its the main board, it wont be worth replacing unless you found one for cheap. But make sure both the mic and the filter that goes over the opening from the inside of the frame is replaced since that can get clogged with dirt or debris and cause sound issues as well.

@@PBKreviews OK, thanks for you reply. Much appreciated

The onboard storage is soldered onto the board, it's not removable by the end user. Only way would be if a professional with soldering skills were to de solder the storage chip and re solder it to another motherboard. Wouldn't be cheap.

@@PBKreviews thank you for the fast reply. i work with fpv drones i think i have enough experience to desolder or heat gun it out. Can you show me what the memory looks like?

You would need to take the phone apart to gain access to the front camera assembly, then you can use a brush to brush off the dust from the camera and put it back in its place and reassemble the phone.

@@PBKreviews Thank you very much.

They're fun to watch! :)

Yes you just need to apply heat (from the screen side) to loosen up the adhesive under the battery and gently pry the old battery off using plastic pry tools and try not to damage or warp the battery too much to cause it to possibly catch fire etc.

Nice

You can use isopropyl alcohol and get a few drops around the sides of the battery and let it sit for a minute so it eats away at the adhesive underneath and then pry the battery off with a plastic pry tool. Here is a link for the ispropyl alcohol if you need it. www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/iFixit-Adhesive-Remover/IF145-400?o=4

Its possible the battery cable might have gotten disconnected. You can open and check it, if its still connected its possible the battery went bad.

Did your phone get very hot sometime before this? When did your phone turned off and at what percentage was its battery charged when it turned off? If there had been an overheating issue or if the charger wasn't fast charging anymore then its possible that the main chip-set on logic board has short circuited. My own V40's chip-set has sort circuited the same way and I'm trying really hard to find a new logic board but the country where I live in, LG does not officially distribute their devices so I'd have to order one from Ali Express or Amazon maybe. But the most worrying thing is all the data on the phone was not backed up on my google account and with logic board dead, I won't ever be able to retrieve it. What a bummer!

@@moizaleem9756 It started working about 2 days after i posted i cleaned it out more dropped it a few times left it alone thinking i need a new phone then it started charging again. So i cant say exactly whats wrong with it but its been having problems with the battery for the past year might just be time to upgrade.

This video is quite old so haven't had the phone in a long time

you're welcome

Hi, not sure exactly what you mean. Is it a loose object falling around inside or what do you mean?

@@PBKreviews when i shake my phone . i found a sound inside from the phone

@@PBKreviews Mine has something heavy and loose inside it. It's only noticeable when shaken from side to side. I wonder what it is. Bought the phone as "new" via Aliexpress, and there's definitely something funky about it (wrong firmware, and very much not scratch or dust resistant in any way. And now there's the whole black screen of death.

You would probably have to take apart the entire phone to be able to see if you can fix it. Not sure if the button itself is stuck or the clicker on the inside got damaged or broke out of its place. If I am not mistaken, you need to not only take the back off but the front screen as well to gain access to the buttons (that also increases the chance of breaking your screen by prying it off).

the adhesive LG used on this phone is pretty good and in most cases would be reusable to reapply the back if you didn't touch it too much after opening or if you didn't damage it a lot. But I'm not sure if it would still promise to keep water out so just to be on the safe side I would apply new adhesive.

What new adhesive do you use/recommend? Any pre-cut sheets made?

@@Einsteindks27 I don't know of any pre-cut ones made for this but I usually use an adhesive called smartphone red tape which you can find on ebay. It seems to be the strongest as far as adhesive goes from the ones I have used over time and holds the best in my opinion. You can get them in different widths.

The small white wire is a coaxial cable and usually those connect antenna contacts but sometimes are related to charging as well.

yea we did, we mention it in the video, we just don't show it since most people don't really want to see a minute of heat gun in action. However it is not required to use a heat gun or hair dryer, but always makes the job easier.

True, I didn't have one on hand at the time. Will use your suggestion in the future.

not sure

@@PBKreviews any idea from where to get one, i searched the whole internet up, cant find it

@@umar9457 no idea, not to familiar with the details on the chips and IC so would not know where to point you to

@@PBKreviews thanks anyways

Not sure why I have to show how exactly to remove a battery in every video, its always the same. Just apply some heat to loosen the adhesive, then use a pry tool to carefully pry off the battery I mean what else is there to it? its not rocket science. If you can't figure that part out, you should not even be attempting the repair honestly. Reason I say it is because there are people who will damage all the parts trying to get down to the battery only to find out after replacing the battery they broke 10 resistors or cut 2 flex cables trying to replace a battery. Easiest way again to remove the battery, apply gentle heat to warm the battery a bit and the frame so the adhesive is loosened, then use a plastic pry tool preferably a membership card that is flat and can maneuver under the battery and just take your time prying it off so you don't bend or warp the battery too much. If your replacing the battery you don't really care if you warp it here and there since your replacing it. But you don't want to risk piercing the cells to cause it to flare up and so forth.

There is a plastic bracket holding it in place, once the phone is disassembled, you can peel off the flex cable for the buttons and lift up and pull out the plastic bracket from the frame so it will release the physical buttons.

what didn't work? they sell the back plates online so just breaking your back plate does not mean your phone is bricked.

No. The music for these sorts of videos usually consists of homosexual house music. GROSS !!!!!!!💩

Background music on a tutorial video, sire are you stupid?

First off, its not just two colored plastics lol so don't laugh so quickly since what you said is totally wrong. Try not putting those plastic pieces on and see how poor your signal will be. Those lines are drawn out on the plastic for a reason, they didn't just put them there for no reason. They act as antennas and make different connections through the board if you look underneath you will see they touch gold contacts on the board where they lay down onto. Trust me your totally wrong about what you said so ya. But for the wireless charging pad your right it was a mistake on our part but it is the connector for the wireless charging pad not the flash.
