iPhone Water Damage Repair for White iPhone 4
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 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
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.

iPod Touch Catches Fire in Florida
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.
South Florida News features iFixYouri – CBS and Fox Report
On June 22nd iFixYouri.com was featured on Fox News 29 and CBS 12, both local news stations that service south Florida.
We had the pleasure of having John Bachman and his camera crew here to talk about various issues that we’re helping solve in the local community, from saving consumers money, to helping eliminate the ever growing issue of e-waste.
All repairs that we offer online customers, are also available to our walk-in location, and majority can be done in minutes, while you wait! Come in on your break at work or drop it off while you’re going to lunch. From water damage to cracked glass, iFixYouri has you covered.
News headlines from West Palm Beach CBS 12John BachmanLAKE PARK—A local man turns a busted phone into a booming business. Chris Johncke started his company ‘I fix your I’ about a year and a half ago, after losing his job as an engineer.
He dropped his iphone, and didn’t have the money to pay for repairs, so he learned to fix it himself. He started fixing other phones, now he’s fixing phones from all over the world. He’s even hired 5 employees, even during this recession.
Johncke said, “I’m working long long hours every single day because I’m enjoying every single minute of it.Which is a good feeling.”
Apple warns that third party repairs can void your warranty, but Chris stands behind his work, and says if I have a problem he make it right. To replace a cracked screen costs about 90 bucks.
They also fix blackberry’s computers, ipads, and other electronics. If you wondering if they can help you.

iPhone 4 Repair video of drop tested iPhone w/ bumper
We have detailed closely our ability to break the iPhone 4 on concrete, with a protective bumper and without. You can check out our video section for all of our film sessions. The bumper does not seem to make much of a difference in protecting from glass damage. When the iPhone 4 screen breaks, the LCD behind it is also ruined. This raises the overall cost of iPhone parts needed and make the DIY iPhone 4 repair process much more difficult. Lucky for those who break an iPhone, the techs at iFixyouri.com have seen it all and repair almost everything.
The video below is our demonstration on how to fix the iPhone 4 yourself. Before any DIY repair you need to make sure you have the correct tools and parts needed for successful repair.
After doing the iPhone 4 drop test, we decided to make yet another video of us fixing the poor poor iPhone 4. Sit back and enjoy!
Parts Needed for DIY iPhone 4 screen repair:
Glass Kit
Repair tools needed:
Precision Screwdriver
Plastic Spudger
Remember: STAY GROUNDED – Be sure you are electrostatic discharge(ESD) safe. We always use static mats w/ a wrist strap to be sure we’re properly grounded!
iPhone 4 Screen Damage bumper test
We have heard a lot of talk about the iPhone 4 bumper helping with reception problems but now we test it to see if it can prevent glass and LCD damage. The results are not good for iPhone 4 owners who just got a protective bumper, as the 3rd drop on concrete resulted in a shattered screen. The iPhone 4 repair team is on standby to answer any questions and as you see in the video below, for good reason.
Going back to our first test, it was noted that the i4 glass sit on top of the frame, rather than inset like the 3g and 3gs. This fact, along with glass on both sides of the iPhone 4, makes broken glass on the i4 a common reality. The protective bumper is the same bumper that is supposed to help with the much publicized iPhone 4 antenna.
We’ve have known for a little while now that iPhone 4 bumpers do not offer all of the protection needed because customers have called in an told us. Although it does not take a video by iFixyouri to inform you that dropping your new iPhone 4 on concrete is a bad idea, hopefully this video squashed any doubts as to the bumpers effectiveness. A DIY fix for any type of cracked glass on an i4 screen can be difficult.
Other Tests
We have now performed three tests on the iPhone 4. The first was with the parts (frame, glass) but not the guts. The next one was with a new iPhone 4. The latest was with an iPhone 4 with the bumper. In comparing the 3 tests, we can’t find much of a difference. What really matters is how you drop it. If it hits on a corner you may get out of trouble completely, or with just a scuff mark. If it drops on the glass though, on top of concrete, you could be in serious trouble. This scenario is very likely every time you get out of your car.
We also performed an iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G test with protective cases and instead of the glass breaking, there was LCD damage on the fifth and sixth drop, respectively.
Our iPhone repair technicians are trained to help both repair broken iPhones and help those looking for DIY repair solutions. Let us know if you have any questions, as it is our goal to provide customers with the best decisions possible. Often times we get calls from customers who have ordered a wrong iPhone parts or made a broken iPhone worse. Don’t let it happen to you and call now!
