Repairing a Phone Using Only AliExpress Parts - What Can't Go Wrong... (Xiaomi MI A1)

can someone pls tell me where i should buy my parts from

That's the risk when you but a phone that is not very common in your home country. I think that is the lesson to be learned here.

It says made in Indonesia on the back. You said unusual for Chinese phones in Australia but most phones are made in China

Looks like an iPhone 7

U don't need to remove everything...it also opens from front.

I have bought a lot of replacements parts from aliexpress, all of them worked, you only have to check the seller's reputation and reviews, I fixed 2 new nintendo 3ds xl (sites like Ifixit don't have any replacement parts available for the console, a ps4 controller that works to this day and I even got a ram stick that matched the factory one for my laptop because DDR5 is way too expensive.

Sites like this are not a sign of low quality or scams, they exist within it but you have to use common sense when buying from it and check as you would usually do with any other marketplace

Hugh: aliexpress bad
also hugh: buys the cheapest components available in the marketplace

I really wish I lived in Australia... I have a RedMi with a ghost touch issue which I'm pretty sure is hardware-related and probably needs a replacement screen. But I'm not skilled enough to actually replace it lol. I'd like to pay this guy to repair it.

When I looked at the thumbnail it looked like an iPhone 6s Plus

You sure thats not an iphone 6? /s

I like how it kinda looks like a 6 Plus, or am I the only one that sees that?

i destroyed an lcd and sent it to the sun

The thing looks like a iphone 7

I need that double side tape that you use, the one I bought is lousy, and have to resort to using some liquid Adhesive.

I've repaired a redmi note 4 and redmi note 5, both turned out completely fine. I bought both with cracked screens and replaced them with the aliexpress screens. These were popular models, so I guess the replacements parts were good

It's xiaomi, lots of used original replacement in the market. why buy new original claimed products?

Where To Get Original Parts Of Any Phone On Online ???

kinda like this phone 😏😏

do this with an Iphone

It looks like a rose gold iphone 7 without a home button

Repairing phones will be getting more and more important as phones start to last longer. I'm currently using a Poco F1 and it still serves me well. Since the Snapdragon 845, mobile SOCs have not improved that much.

What an iPhone knock off

Hugh: Chinese phone
Phone: Made in Indonesia

Oh no... I bought a galaxy note 3 from aliexpress its on the way almost here (from China to Ontario Canada) I hope they didn't have to replace the screen edited 5 seconds after posting it is a refurbished device

Same thing happens with me! Turn the display shifts the colour

Imagine riding ur bf without vids like this on???? Can’t replace💝👇💝📈📈😮😮😮😮😮😮

Plot twist. That premium replacement display is actually way better than oem.

Kinda looks like their version of a iPhone

Doesn't Xiaomi have an online store in China where you can buy replacement parts?

小米5x

didnt you try the screen settings.?

I have a Redmi 9T from Xiaomi and... Mine doesn't have pentalobes.

Even china phones are easier to repair

I am using this same smartphone for 4 years now and it's still going.

That is actually a nice looking phone, until you try and use it heh.

It's not a bug it's a feature! Not being able to be seen at an angle = screen privacy.

Everyone: Xiaomi
Hugh: shellmi

anything from shina is garbage, they sell trash cause that's wat they are lol

e waste 🤨🤦🏽‍♂️ u leftist and ur weird nonsense

you can’t just buy whatever shown up at the first search….even with ebab bruh, you already said its equivalent to ebay but will you buy anything from ebay without checking up and just pay to the first store that came up? no, no normal person will. aliexpress contains huge amounts of products from deadly terrible quality to absolutely good quality, you just need to do more digging.

iPhone design + Android operating system = Xiaomi.

Huge jeff

i’ve used aliexpress for parts and usually had a good experience. When i was repairing my iPhone 2G ironically i was able to get a OEM lcd screen and battery from them, they turned out amazing! I guess it really depends who you buy from.

You made a huge mistake during repair, you did not test if the screen was working.

Mi is india's no.1 mobile brand 😂

"Android One, which in the case of this is Android Nine" 🤯

My poco F1 replacement battery from AliExpress (good reviews and all, supposedly original) exploded and busted the screen frame open

Your effreys are hughj

this was a legendary phone. This had fantastic hardware and software at that time for the price it offered
