Ho, ho, ho nod

I don't know about Google phones, but here's a video from someone who makes a living fixing Apple products, including stuff that Apple will tell you is not repairable:

The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures (24:47)

He also provides an extensive set of tutorial videos on how to make board-level repairs on similar electronics, and demonstrates numerous repairs made on Apple laptops, almost all on the actual "un-repair-able" circuit boards.

(also see the video on his channel about the CBC report he participated in)
