Resurrecting Your Mobile Phone

By Alika Salazar
People destroy their mobile phones in a number of unintentional and intentional ways. The majority of customers we’ve helped over the years have been victims of a wide variety of accidents, like when they place their phone on top of their car and then drive off or when they roll over their phone while sleeping. On the other hand; there are those rare occasions when a broken phone is not accidental, like when an angry significant other throws it at the nearest wall or out of the car while driving on the freeway. Whatever the cause, if your phone is severely damaged, does this mean that your phone is done for?

Absolutely not! A lot of times, a simple screen repair is all that’s required. In more severe impact cases, there is a chance that the motherboard has been damaged or the solder points between the chips have been separated. Fortunately, that’s pretty rare. In either situation, we have been able to repair the vast majority of impact damaged phones.

The other common problem we see are water-damaged phones. I’ve had several customers bring their phones to us after dropping it in water and tell us they put it in rice and their phone was still not working. If you drop your phone in water, be sure to turn the power off immediately, keep it dry and bring it to us right away. The longer you wait, the greater the potential damage the water inside will cause.


So, if your phone has suffered what you believe to be irreparable damage, stop digging that grave in your backyard and bring your phone to us for a free no obligation price quote. As a matter of fact, if you have any electronic device that’s been damaged, like an iPad, tablet, laptop computer, desk top computer, gaming system or just about any other gadget that runs on electricity, don’t give up on it before you bring it to us. Odds are good you’ll be happy you did!
