In this video, I take on the challenge of restoring a severely damaged iPhone 11. The phone, bought online in its current battered state, has every centimeter of its glass cracked and the display almost entirely missing. Its clear the previous owner did more than just drop it, but the exact cause of the damage remains a mystery. The seller, who got it from a garage sale, ipad 2 release had no information on what happened to the phone, leaving us to guess.
When I received the parcel, the smell of battery acid was immediately noticeable. The phone had a serious wobble due to the lower section being pushed outward, likely from a sharp blade collision with the front. This made me wonder if it had a run-in with a lawnmower. The big question was whether it would still power on. Plugging in a voltage meter, I saw that while the phone wasn't drawing much power, the backlight did come on.
Benvenuto!
