I tried to give away a HTC m8 to a local phone repair shop today. I had disassembled it to remove the motherboard which contains the onboard storage. Aside from that and the broken volume buttons, the phone was definitely usable for parts - battery, cameras, screen, speakers .etc
As I entered the shop, I explain to the owner that, rather than disposing of the phone, I'd like to give it away to someone who can use the parts - like a mobile repair shop.
Little did I know, this guy would then preach to me about how a HTC M8 cannot ever be repaired as the metal case would "snap because of its unibody design".
Bear in mind he's saying this to a guy who has a disassembled M8 in his hand (no snapped case) and had successfully replaced the battery a few months earlier.
As someone who is little more than a hobbyist when it comes to electronics & phone repair, this rather amused me.
