FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the warranty coverage for your repair services?

We provide a 60-day limited warranty on most of our repair services. It’s important to note that this warranty does not cover physical or water damage. However, any issues that are not a result of customer-related damage will be covered under our warranty. The specific details of the warranty will be clearly communicated to you at the time of service..

What are the warranty terms for the mobile devices available for purchase through your shop?

The mobile devices available for purchase through our shop typically come with a 90-day warranty. It’s important to note that this warranty does not cover water damage, physical damage, or any damage related to customer misuse. Additionally, please be aware that we do not offer refunds on purchases. If a problem arises during the warranty period, we will repair the device. In cases where a repair is not feasible (as determined by the store), we will provide a replacement unit in similar condition from our supplier, though there may be a waiting period for the replacement to arrive. Please feel free to inquire with our staff to get specific details on the warranty for the device you are interested in.

Do your provided accessories come with any warranty or guarantee?

Accessories in our shop are typically sold without warranties, and the terms of coverage, if any, can vary by product. It’s important to note that once our accessories leave the shop, they are not eligible for return or refund. We recommend consulting with our staff for specific details regarding the warranty for a particular accessory, as the availability of warranty coverage may differ based on the accessory type.

Can you assure the continued water resistance of my device after a repair?

Our technicians make every effort to preserve your device’s water-resistant features during repairs. However, it’s essential to understand that we cannot guarantee water resistance in all cases. Once a device is opened for repair, the water resistance or waterproofing may be compromised. We do our best to maintain this feature, but it may not be as effective as when the device was brand new. If water resistance is a crucial concern for you, we recommend discussing this with our technicians for more information specific to your repair.

Are original manufacturer parts, particularly Apple, used in your repair services?

At our shop, we prioritize the use of high-quality replacement parts in our repair services. While our goal is to offer reliable and cost-effective repair solutions, it’s important to note that Apple does not typically provide original parts to non-Apple technician shops. Therefore, for Apple devices, we utilize the best available aftermarket parts. However, for other manufacturers, original parts are often accessible, albeit at a different price point. We encourage you to discuss your specific needs with our staff, and they will provide you with more details about the parts used for your particular repair.

How should I interpret the message on my iPhone display following a battery or screen replacement?

After specific repairs, like a battery or screen replacement, your iPhone might display a message indicating that the repair was conducted by a non-authorized service provider. It’s crucial to understand that this message doesn’t affect the functionality of your device.

For Apple repairs, it’s important to note that, on certain models, some components are serialized and tightly integrated with the motherboard. Programming these components typically requires the expertise of an Apple technician and may come at a premium cost. However, upon special request, our shop can perform such programming. For more information on this, please consult with our staff to receive additional details and pricing.

 

I'm experiencing issues with Face ID after an ear speaker replacement; how can this be addressed?

Face ID issues can arise after an ear speaker replacement because the TrueDepth sensor, proximity sensor, and ear speaker are interconnected components. These elements play a crucial role in the Face ID system. When any of them is replaced, it can potentially impact Face ID functionality. In most cases, our technicians will inform customers prior to the repair whether Face ID can be preserved or not. To restore Face ID, original or serialized components are typically required, which may involve specialized programming. In some cases, micro-soldering techniques might be employed to preserve Face ID, although success is not guaranteed. If you encounter Face ID issues after a repair, we recommend consulting with our technicians for a comprehensive assessment and potential solutions.

Is it possible to obtain original manufacturer (Apple) parts for my repair through your shop?

At our shop, our foremost commitment is to provide high-quality replacement parts for your repair. While we endeavor to source original manufacturer parts, it’s important to be aware that their availability may vary, especially when it comes to Apple products. In many cases, for devices from other manufacturers, we can readily access original parts.

However, it’s worth noting that original parts, including Apple parts, often come at a different price point compared to aftermarket components. We take pride in using top-notch aftermarket parts to ensure the highest quality, even though they might not carry the manufacturer’s branding. If you have specific preferences for original parts, please discuss your requirements with our staff, and they will provide you with more information on pricing and availability

What is the procedure if I prefer not to share my device's password during the repair process?

Providing your password during the repair process is not obligatory, but it can be essential for certain diagnostics and testing procedures. It’s important to know that your data privacy is a top priority for us, and we have measures in place to safeguard your information.

However, it’s crucial to be aware that if you choose not to provide the password, our technicians may be unable to thoroughly test your device. In such cases, this might affect the warranty on the repair. Our store may not be held liable for any issues that may arise if the device cannot be tested to confirm whether they existed before the repair or were caused by the repair process. Your cooperation in providing access to your device can help us provide you with the best possible service and warranty coverage.

Will my data be preserved during the repair, or is there a risk of data loss?

In general, the repair process should not lead to data loss, especially for repairs like battery replacement or screen repairs. However, we recommend taking the precaution of backing up your device before any repair to safeguard your data.

For some complex repairs involving the motherboard or other internal components, it is advisable to back up your data in all cases. When we open the device, we may encounter unexpected issues or damage, and the extent of damage may not be clear until the device is examined. We make every effort to ensure the safety of your data during the repair process, but having a backup in place provides an additional layer of protection for your valuable information. Your data security is of utmost importance to us, and we take the necessary precautions to keep it safe.

How do you ensure the privacy of my personal data when I provide my password for repair purposes?

Safeguarding the privacy of your personal data is our utmost priority. We have implemented rigorous procedures to protect your information. It’s important to note that we do not access or retrieve your personal data without your explicit permission.

During the repair process, your data’s security and confidentiality are rigorously maintained. However, we want to make it clear that we do not assume any liability for your data. While we take every possible measure to safeguard your information, if you are still concerned about your data, we recommend that you back up your data and delete it from the phone before bringing it in for repair. This added precaution can ensure the safety of your valuable data. If you have any specific requests or concerns regarding data privacy, please feel free to discuss them with our technicians during the repair process.

Can you assist in the transfer of data from a non-functional phone to a working device?

Yes, we provide data recovery and transfer services for non-functional devices. Our technicians can guide you through the process and provide you with more information. It’s important to note that for us to assist with data transfer, the non-functional phone needs to be temporarily made functional, even if only for the duration of the data transfer. If the phone’s motherboard is damaged to the extent that it cannot be powered on, data retrieval may not be possible. While we will make every effort to facilitate data transfer, we cannot guarantee its success in such cases.

However, we can assist you in wiping your phone, which involves deleting all data and restoring it to its factory settings. This can help remove most potential threats, but we do not assume any responsibility or provide guarantees regarding the complete removal of threats. Data wiping is one measure we can take to attempt to remove potential issues. It’s important to understand that we are not equipped to check for hacking or other cybersecurity threats.
