Sold mine because the battery swell 3x bigger.

Note 5 cost RM3k+, ok lah. Unless if you think can get new RM300 phome better than Note 5....And note pen is special , really no replacement unless buy another Note.

He  never uses the pen.
Got it as gift from company when retired.
I think the camera quality kinda lousy now when compared to current mid range phone. Can a xiaomi Redmi note 8 beat note5?

waloweh, seriously? brb to check the spare part price. my guess the screen it self is at least rm500?

Broke my phone recently, screen crack, it is a cheap phone (less than a thousand in 2017)


What do u think? For someone who use <1k phone, i find that rm100 is expensive. But if it takes 3 days everytime to repair it, definitely rm100 for 3 days is worth it

but then, its not, the only reason ive use that much of time is to gather spare part

   

if you care about repairbility, dont buy phone with oled screen, very expensive wei.

Told my self, why not repair it, diy

Start to buying stuff, go multiple of physical shops (no lowyat, not sure if they selling this kind of thing), proceed with copee online shop

Follow youtube tutorial from multiple of videos because screen replacement didnt come with front housing, need to separate old housing and paste new screen

In the middle of de-attach battery, it bend and start to produce weird smell, proceed with buying new battery

Most video takes about 30 - 40 minutes to repair, i take about 3 days, next time 1 day is enough

List of things:

1. screen replacement + toolkits + postage = rm 60
2. extra repair toolkits = rm 30
3. battery = rm25
4. glue = rm 5

Total = rm 120

Before that, i ask this 1 shop, total cost including labor + screen replacement = rm150 (initially rm160-rm180) for 30 - 60 minutes. So for each repair, they cost about rm100 for labor cost

Proceed to ask around, bargain with them if i have the replacement screen how much would it cost, rm45 the best i am able to get. Thats a 100% difference of labor cost

What do u think? For someone who use <1k phone, i find that rm100 is expensive. But if it takes 3 days everytime to repair it, definitely rm100 for 3 days is worth it

i'll repair it at shop at reasonble price if they can repair. last time my mi8 vibrate motor spoilt and make a loud vibrate sound, no shop able to do it. so I had to DIY. But unable to source the motor too, but xiaomi using similar motor in other phone but with different connector. So bought that and diy it to fit mi8. works well and under rm30 repair. source from aliexpress.

I ordered my own spare part n repaired sendiri... Ipong 5c screen & battery repair, Honor 8 screen repair, Macbook 15 2013 speaker repair..
