iPhone Screen Repair Additions!

1 Comment

Our iPhone screen repair and replacement services have been good to us. One problem we have though is people often times don’t know what exactly is wrong with their iPhone screens. There is no standard answer because the screen repair service needed depends on what model you own, which as of now is the 3G, 3Gs and iPhone 4.  We have added a section specifically for  iPhone screen repair  to help alleviate confusion. Here is the breakdown:

We use high quality replacement part for our iPhone 3G screen repair services. As the newly minted addage goes, “just because you break your iPhone 3G screen, it does not mean you have damaged the LCD.” In the world of ‘addages’ that one lacks luster but it’s true and can be a big money saver when looking at a repair. If the glass is cracked or shattered but the LCD works, thank your replacement options just got much cheaper.

The same holds true for iPhone 3Gs screen repair in that the LCD and glass are not glued together. High quality iPhone parts are again used and if it is just glass damage, the repair can be done in 15 minutes.  Something to think about if you think you can handle repairs, we have DIY kits to help every step of the way.

Finally, iPhone 4 screen repair is a bit more difficult and more expensive overall. This is because the screen and the LCD display are glued together. When you have to buy the screen and LCD the cost rises. The process of DIY repair is also more difficult overall but experience and know how may dictate different views on that.

No matter what type of iPhone repair service you need, we can likely cover it. Our percentages in regards to successful repairs is over 90% and the is especially true with screen repairs. Let us know your problem and we will provide a solution.

iPhone 3G/3Gs Screen Repair and Replacement Parts

4 Comments

If you’re unsure of what iPhone screen repair you’re in need of, don’t feel like you’re the only one. It is easy to lump iPhone 3G  and 3Gs together because as the name suggests, the 3Gs is an upgrade from its predecessor, not deserving of a more unique title.  This helps the overall process of fixing these phones similar in many ways, although before any repair do your research so you know what your are getting into. Basically, don’t read about how to fix a 3G if you own a 3Gs.  One way in which these phones have something in common is screen repair. While the parts are not the same necessarily, the process in which one performs a DIY repair is very similar.

One main nuance is the fact that the the glass screen and LCD digitizer display are not glued together. In the iPhone 3G repair world this is a big difference to the original model and the new iPhone 4 that is stuck together to avoid dust in the display.

As our much overlooked 3G and 3Gs tests showed, even with protective covers the iPhone can be in danger of LCD display issues even when the glass does not shatter or get cracked. Sometimes the iPhone 3G screen is cracked but the LCD behind it is fine. Screen display issues varies in price depending on the exact need, which often times comes down to if the glass and/or LCD is broken.

An iPhone 3Gs repair is much the same story, as broken glass can be an easier type of DIY repair but LCD damage can be much more difficult. Overall, fixing a 3G iPhone will cost a little more than the 3G.

DIY iPhone replacement parts are also becoming increasingly popular. Our services offer a great way for you to find out how to fix something yourself. Sometimes people think they can fix something but after speaking with us are thankful we saved them from disaster. Give us a call and we will find the right iPhone repair solution for you. If you know what you want, rest assured that when ordering, you will be receiving your products and services from the growing leader in Apple iPhone repair services.

Not all pieces of iPhone glass are created equal

Interested in learning the truth about iPhone Screen Repair and iPhone Glass Repair?

First off, let’s start with a brief lesson on how the iPhone glass and digitizer works.

Glass

The glass, well it’s just that, glass. Not much too it? Wrong. You get cheap glass, yes, it will crack way easier than high-strength glass. Cheap glass will break in shards, while tempered glass will more spider around the area it broke. Apple uses toughened glass on all their iPhones, new, and old. This glass generally has been treated thermally, and/or chemically, while the cheap glass has not.

Digitizer

The digitizer is what responds to your touch, when you touch the glass. Think of it as a second piece of glass, glued directly to the bottom side of the piece of glass you touch.  Now you’re curious as to how the digitizer works? The digitizer is setup like a grid. Picture the digitizer being a piece of graphing paper. Many squares, each square being a point that you can touch. When you touch it, a signal is created and sent to the motherboard, which creates an action on the screen(panning, zooming, selecting an application, etc).

Cheap iPhone Replacement Parts

Cheap glass uses cheap parts, cheap digitizer. How does your phone act when you have a cheap digitizer? The grid we just talked about, well the squares in the grid become much bigger, which makes the touch response a lot more inaccurate, choppy, slow. Your finger swipe won’t swipe smoothly, your texting may be off, and the most annoying part of it all, your iPhone will not run smoothly. Additionally, with cheap glass, the factories will use cheap glue to adhere the glass and the digitizer. A minor jolt can dislodge the digitizer and render it inaccurate, or worst case inoperable. Cheap replacement parts will also not always sit flush to the iPhone. The home button may sit recessed and the glass may sit above the chrome bezel.

Adhessive

There are two different types of adhessives.

  1. 2 Piece – Covers just the top and the bottom of the iPhone. Does not give you full side coverage seal, which can easily introduce dust under the screen
  2. 1 Piece – Covers the entire frame. Provides full side coverage. Prevents dust from entering between the screen and LCD.

iFixYouri uses only the highest grade glass in combination with full frame adhesive, providing you with that near factory fit and feel that your high dollar item requires.  Whether your looking to do-it-yourself or you want to use an iPhone repair service, be sure that you go with one result in mind, quality.

iPhone Water Damage a threat no matter what?

3 Comments

Is iPhone water damage an issue for the iPhone 4? More importantly, can water damaged phones be repaired?

Recently we performed an iPhone 4 screen test, where it was proven that the glass for the new iPhone is still very much breakable. Even more troubling is that the iPhones have glass on both sides and instead of the glass sitting behind the chrome bezel frame, it sits on top.

The bottom line is that regardless of the upgraded features and style, the iPhone screen repair service is more valuable than ever. It won’t scratch easily at all but the screen is still at risk. Keeping that in mind it’s time to keep tabs on the other big problem area for iPhone owners: iPhone water damage.

We don’t have to run any tests to tell you that the new iPhone can still break if dropped in the toilet, swimming pool or filled beer mug because we don’t need to break a new iPhone to prove the obvious. All of the time we are asked, “My iPhone got wet, what do I do?”

Digging deeper, it has been revealed that many people with broken iPhones have been told their warranty is void at Apple stores because their water sensors have bee tripped, according to Watchdog. Apparently, sweat and other moisture are turning this tablet indicators red. But when you open up the iPhone and really examine it, it is obviously a dry phone.

Apple is playing with fire with practices like this, with its loyal customer base that just now might be noticing there are other phone options. Your iPhone could be void of warranty right now and you don’t even know it! If you have an iPhone wrongly void of warranty let us know.

DIY Options if you iPhone actually does get wet

The first thing to remember to do is CONTACT US ASAP. The next thing to  remember is to not hit any buttons (leave the phone off).

There are many DIY options to consider

iPhone 3G water damage repair and iPhone 3Gs water damage repair work much the same way but if a DIY solution does not work they can be among the more difficult to correct.

When you introduce water into electronics, a big problem that ends up occurring is corrosion. Sometimes the onset of corrosion is within 24 hours, sometimes it takes days, even weeks. But corrosion is a circuit board’s biggest enemy. If you dry it out, and it works, that’s great! But over time, features may begin to fail. This is due to the growth of corrosion and oils left on the board once the water is all gone.

A ‘cheap’ solution goes like this:

  • Take out of case and remove SIM card
  • Shake out any extra water
  • Use a blow dryer on low for a few minutes to get rid of excess water
  • Place iPhone in rice bag, completely covered
  • Leave in rice bag for a few days, blow drying it daily as needed
  • At this point it should be dry and you can try to power it on.

The Right Solution

The iFixyouri Solution is the right one to go with. We use state-of-the-art equipment and tools that are more advanced that many competitors. We’ll ensure that no oils or residues are left on any components, including board, down to the microscopic level. We repair over 90% of water damaged phones, and with us, you know that your iPhone is in good hands. We’re so confident in our repair process that if we can’t fix it, there is no charge to you.

Broken iPhones at Sunfest

1 Comment

As I walked into Sunfest in West Palm Beach, I decided to look for everyone that had iPhones.

Wow!!! For every 10 people I saw, 2-3 had iPhones. Not even just that but at least 1 had a cracked screen. It makes me wonder why people don’t get them fixed, either by iFixYouri or another company? The only thing I can think of is that they just don’t know that they can be fixed. I stood in line to get a sausage, which was awesome, and I started speaking to a girl behind me. She had an iPhone 3gs and sure enough the screen was cracked. I told her that we could fix that in twenty minutes or less. She had no idea. She just thought instead of spending $400 on a new one, she would just wait for the new 4g to come out. She was so happy that she actually gave me a hug and bought me my sausage and peppers. Thanks, Tiffany!

She will be coming in on Monday to her iPhone screen repair.  So, in closing, if you have a cracked iPhone screen, you can get it repaired. If you know someone that has any problem what so ever with their iPhone, let them know, iFixYouri can help them. Enjoy the last day of Sunfest iWorld.
