Phone Screen Repair Parts added

2 Comments

Our iPhone repair parts have been the focus to date but we are proud to announce other parts are starting to filter in. Repair services for HTC Evo screen replacement and Incredible have finally arrived!

We have received countless inquiries about these products but it has taken time to find quality products at an affordable price. Quality and affordability is possible.

Often times people ask us why we are charging more for a replacement screen. We will not buy a screen that scratches or breaks easily. If you are shopping around and find a price $20 than what we offer, we can almost guarantee that you are sacrificing quality. Given the fact that those shopping just broke their screen one way or another, we assume that you won’t make that mistake again. We welcome all feedback as we continue to grow our services.

iPhone screen repair – Cheapest Isn’t Always Best

Leave a comment

Recently we had a customer  insist on us using his glass that he bought off ebay (said he paid about $15 for it) with our iPhone screen repair services. He wanted us to save our parts and “go ahead, please use this one.”

This glass was cheap. Poor poor quality. Thicker than the high quality parts we use here, weighed a different amount, different feel(to the touch), no oleophobic coating, touch response was lagging, etc.

We decided to go ahead with the repair, with his glass, to teach him a lesson (he was one of our good friends). We put on the glass, using the adhesive that he got with his kit. This adhesive only covered the top and the bottom of the frame. It didn’t give a full seal so dust was bound to get in between the glass and the LCD. When we put it all back together, the home button felt like it was sitting recessed in the glass, the edges were sitting above the bezel, and the touch response was way slow. We put it together as well as our highly trained techs could, but with the cheap glass, it had nothing but FAIL written all over it.

To top it off, when you pressed a certain part of the screen, it’d make the LCD go white with lines all over it!

Now you’re probably sitting here saying, wtf, why would you leave your buddy hanging with knock off glass, making the repair kind of shoddy? Well we didn’t.

After showing him exactly why in the DIY world, spending a couple extra bucks on proper iphone parts would save you a pain and agony, we went ahead and re-did the glass with our high quality parts. Once the iphone screen repair was complete, it made a world of difference. It looked, felt, and functioned, as if it had just come from the factory.

Some things to look for in an iPhone 3G/3Gs glass repair:

  • Glass sits level with the home button
  • Glass sits level with the bezel
  • Full frame adhesive should always be used to prevent dust between the glass and LCD
  • Proximity sensors should not be easily visible(with cheap glass, you’ll see 3 purple circles in the top left)
  • No dust/finger prints should be on the underside of the glass
  • iPhone 3Gs glass should have the oleophobic coating to prevent fingerprints.

Some things to look for in an iPhone 4 Glass repair

  • Glass and LCD should be bonded together
  • Home button should be flush
  • Metal grate in the earpiece should be present
  • Outside frame should be smooth, not looking like someone scraped it w/ a razor blade(yes, we’ve seen that)
  • Flush against the metal frame

Follow these tips, and you’ll be sure to get a nice, quality iphone repair. Should you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected] or call us at 888-494-4349.

iPhone Water Damage Repair for White iPhone 4

2 Comments

In efforts to show people the best way to save an iPhone 4 from death after water damage, we have decide to drop a custom white iPhone 4 in water and repair it. We offer the white iPhone 4 conversion service for anyone who is interested.


Steps to take:

As we told you in our last iPhone water damage video, make sure the iPhone is powered off. If you get a white pinwheel on the screen and it won’t turn of, you hold down the power button and home button until it turns off.

Next you remove the back cover by removing the 2 screws at the bottom of the iPhone 4 to expose the internals.

11 screws total hold the board in the housing.

Be sure to remove the SIM card tray.

Let sit for 24-48 hours before reassembling.

iPhone Repair Video Planning

Leave a comment

Our latest video where we decided to throw and iPhone 3G in water and fix it is our latest video installation meant to educate and entertain. Based on the amount of rice bags we’ve been receiving, it is safe to say people were paying attention.

Sunday we will publish our iPhone 4 water damage video, which stars our custom white iPhone 4 getting wet. I hate to spill the beans but let me tell you the end of the story: we fix it.

Shocking, eh? You should not be. Our water damage repair is highly effective. We know for a fact that our water damage repair is something that separates us from the majority of competition.

Some of our past video’s reflected on our iPhone screen repair services that have the highest success rates. While our competition may be able to make the same claim, most don’t use the quality glass that we do. Front glass and back glass, white glass and black glass–we have it all.

In future video tests we plan on showing people the various nuances of our repair processes. If you have any suggestions or question let us know!

iFixyouri is the top solution for mail-in iPhone repair because of the quality parts, services and support we provide.

iPhone Water Damage Repair Steps

A majority of the time your water damaged phone can be repaired. From ocean water to the washing machine, from a mild spill to complete submersion, it really does not matter. We have refined and perfected the process of water damage repair for your broken iPhone. 90% of the time, we can repair your phone to a fully functioning iPhone that has that out of the box, like-new functionality. iFixYouri is the industry leader in water damage repair

iPhone water damage is one of the most common iPhone repair types we see. It is also one of the most deadly to iPhones if you allow corrosion. As the video shows, it is imperative to remove the iPhone out of the water ASAP. Once the iPhone is out of the water, you want to make sure it is powered off.

If you get a white pinwheel on the screen and it won’t turn of, you hold down the power button and home button until it turns off. In the video we failed to record it powering back on after we powered it off. We simply repeated the ‘power off process’ and moved on to the next important step; remove the SIM card.

Once the SIM card is removed you want to put the iPhone in an uncooked bag of rice. Tighten the bag so all extra air is gone and seal it.

If you follow the above above steps and mail the water damaged iPhone we can fix it as good as new. If you decide you want to see if it works for yourself, wait 48 to 76 hours after the water exposure and then try it out. If you find at that time it is not functioning properly as a result of the iPhone water damage put back in the rice and mail to us.

iPhone 4 Back Glass Repair Video

Leave a comment

Today we dropped an iPhone 4 on its back glass to show everyone how we repair them. In the realm of iPhone repair this is becoming increasingly common, as the iPhone 4 back glass can get scratch and shatter. Also worth noting is the fact that we failed to get the back glass shattering on video. Somebody (names are not important) forgot to hit record button when it shattered. What you see is the drop before it broke, so kudos on the iPhone 4 surviving the vicious fall.

It is a bit of a messy process to clean up and you want to be careful, if attempting a DIY fix, not to get glass stuck in your finger. Try to minimize the glass around you and wear protective eye-ware.

Use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive between the glass and the back frame.

Once it is all cleared away make sure all the glue and adhesive is scraped away. If you don’t it will scratch the new glass overall it will not be good. Using the adhesive provided in a DIY repair kit you then reapply the new glass.

Finally, remove the lens from the old back cover and put on the new.

iPhone 4 Back Glass Discoloration

1 Comment

We recently had a customer who needed a back glass iPhone 4 screen repair because his was scratched up. How it got scratched is because he used a buffer to clean it up. Yeah, that is correct, a buffer like you use to clean your car. Apparently the iPhone 4 back glass does not pass the buffer test though (no we don’t have video to prove it).

When we replaced it with a back glass, the customer notified us that there was slight discoloration so we replaced that as well. Upon further review, we’ve noticed a bunch of the back glass we see has slight discoloration in some spots, although this is noticed under a light in a ‘where’s Waldo’ type of eye game.

So to review, don’t buffer the back glass of your iPhone 4. Also, you may have to deal with slight discoloration for the back glass of you iPhone 4. If this bothers you we can provide an iPhone repair with back glass that is not discolored.

iPod Touch Catches Fire in Florida

1 Comment

CBS 12 News has approached us again but this time about burning iPod touch. Our iPhone repair services have not run into one of these situations but we happily shed some light on the matter.

The typical cause of this rare occurrence can be traced back to a faulty dock connector or a bad battery. During the time of the interview, we had not actually seen the broken iPod touch. After seeing the pictures, we think the iPod may have been wet.

Regardless, reports claim that a man’s pants pocket caught on fire with his iPhone. Again, the battery likely caused this. If you notice your device overheating, let it cool down before you and proceed with caution. If your iPhone or related device catches fire, it loses all value and usefulness. Check out the report.
