Frequently Asked Questions

iPhone

What type of iPhone Screen do you use for the repair?

We use a variety of replacement screen parts. Generally our parts are brand new, premium aftermarkets and if they're not aftermarket then they're original parts that have been refurbished to New standards. Our small parts, such as charge ports, power button flex cables are original parts. All of our mobile repairs come with a One Year manufacturing defect warranty. So if you have a issue, and it's not a result of physical or liquid damage, it will fall into our warranty claim and we will replace it!

The Back Glass on my device is broken, can you replace?

Yes! We can replace the back glass on any model device! Give us a call with your device details and we can provide a quote! 

When should I change the iPhone battery?

Your device will in most situations give you an alert if the battery is due for replacement. However, older devices do not always have such features and will just keep operating until the battery expands and pushes your display/back glass off, goes into a bootloop or turns off at random times. Give us a call today if you feel like your battery needs to be replaced!

Laptop

My laptops keyboard/body is broken, can you fix that?

Yes! We can replace the body and or keyboard on your laptop! Give us a call today!

My keyboard is fine; just a few keys are not working. Can you replace only keys?

Unfortantely we generally cannot replace or order just one or two keys.. when a key comes off a keyboard, the very fragile bracket that holds them in place breaks also and without these small parts in working order - we cannot replace just the key. We will however, replace the entire keyboard with a Brand New one! Give us a call today!

iPad

Do you replace iPad glass?

Yes! Depending on your model of iPad, will depend on the repair cost and process. Apple uses two types of displays in the iPads. The first one is Glass on LCD and what this means is the Glass and LCD are two different parts and each can be replaced independently. The second display is what we call a "Laminated" display and this means the Glass and LCD are glued together and are not easily replaceable and require the entire Glass/LCD be replaced to return normal functionality.  

Macboook

Some water has spilled on my laptop, but it's working well. Should I keep using it or consult an expert?

My Mac is running very slowly. Should I replace it with a new one?

No! It's almost ALWAYS cheaper to clean up, clean out, repair or upgrade your current Mac than to replace it entirely. Let's save the planet and your pockets first!

I have an old Mac, but I don't want to replace it. Can you fix it?

Absolutely! We LOVE old Macs as much as you do! The reason for this is because, Apple's older MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Pros are super upgradable - this means we can generally refresh the entire system, restore original operation/speed and save you some cash and the planet, so everyone wins right? 

iWatch

Will fixing my Apple Watch give me Waterproof again?

Unfortunately when the original Apple Watch glass is cracked, the waterproofing seal is gone. We can replace the LCD assembly and reseal the watch but we cannot guarantee water rating, waterproof or water resistance after we perform a repair.   

Game Console

When we perform data recovery services - our price typically includes putting this data on a USB drive for safe keeping. If we're say, recovering data from a iPhone and you've purchased a new iPhone, we can move your data from your old iPhone to the new iPhone at no extra charge.

Phones

What is the quality of the parts you use for mobile repair?

We use a mixture of parts for the repairs we perform. Generally the parts we use for our phone repairs are either high quality aftermarket or OEM refurbished/OEM Used Pull parts. At the end of the day, most of our mobile and tablet repairs come with a One Year manufacture defect warranty from the parts supplier we use, so we pass this warranty onto you. 

Why are Samsung and other Android devices expensive to repair?

Samsung and many other phone manufactures have switched from LCD technology to OLED technology in the devices they produce - as a result this has increased the repair cost for everyone. Since the dawn of technology, when it's new " it's more expensive" - remember when LCD TV's were SUPER expensive? But they're cheap now right? Eventually OLED displays will be cheaper and the cost to fix them will be less.

No, screen replacement has nothing to do with the device's data. We recommend you perform a back-up of your data before stoping by for a repair.
