Introduction
Did you know that we offer genuine original Samsung AMOLED screen replacements for your Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus. Here we’ll show you a recent repair involving this model, along with everything you need to know about affordable and cheap S8/S8+ screen replacement in Dundee.
A Typical S8 Plus Screen Repair
This is a replacement screen repair we carried out on a Samsung Galaxy S8+. The S8+ (or S8 Plus) came out earlier this year, along with its smaller sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S8.
A customer brought this Western Digital external hard drive to us as it wasn’t being recognised by their PC.
The most likely cause of this- and indeed, the most common fault with external hard drives- is that the USB interface (rather than the drive itself) had stopped working. This used to be a simple repair because most external hard drives were little more than internal SATA drives- either 2.5″ laptop or 3.5″ desktop size- with a case and USB interface attached. Once the case was opened, the SATA drive could be unplugged from the USB interface and put in a new enclosure (essentially just a replacement interface and case) that could be bought for less than £10.
A significant proportion of the more “interesting”(!) repairs we get in are those handed to us by other stores. This is because most of them are jobs that they can’t manage by themselves- i.e. the more difficult ones! On top of which is the fact that they- or other people- have often already messed things up further in a failed attempt to repair it.
This is a typical example. We took a look at this iPhone 6 for another local business. They hadn’t attempted to repair it themselves, but someone else had had a go, and really hadn’t done a good job at all.
Introduction
It’s common sense that going for the cheapest repair store isn’t likely to get the most time or expertise spent on your smartphone or tablet. (For similar reasons, the same applies to “no fix, no fee” businesses).
However, you might be tempted to give our rivals a chance anyway. After all, if they fail, you still have the option of bringing it to us… right?
Unfortunately, this doesn’t account for the fact that an incompetent repair can turn something that might have been fixable in more skilled hands into a complete write-off, regardless of how good the next technician is.
Understandably, since they’d owned it for less than two years, the customer was quite annoyed with Apple’s response, and sought help through an independent store. (That’d be us…)
This is one of the reasons our industry has a bad reputation and customer confidence in independent stores is so low.
We were asked to look at this iPhone 6 from another store. They’d tried fitting four different LCDs and none were giving a display. We managed to repair the iPhone, but there was a number of issues with their attempted repair.
Considering having your phone repaired with one of our rivals in Dundee who offer a “no fix, no fee” repair service? That’s understandable, and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a better deal for you. You might also ask why you should bring your smartphone, tablet or computer to us instead, and how we can justify these charges.
In our latest article, we explain why we do this, and why “no fix, no fee” isn’t as good a deal for you as it might seem. If (for example) being told that your expensive iPad 4 was a write off when it turned out to be repairable doesn’t sound like the type of service you’d want, then click here to find out more about the problems with “no fix, no fee”.
It’s here; we’ve been following progress of the infamous “Touch Disease” fault increasingly affecting the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus, and we’re pleased to accounce our own service to deal with it!
For full details, see our in-depth page on iPhone 6 “touch disease” and the follow-up news article covering Apple’s response.
However; if your iPhone 6 is having problems with its touch response or grey bars at the top of the screen, and you simply want it fixed you can contact us to have it repaired. (If your phone is within its warranty period, we strongly recommend that you also check with Apple first regarding your repair and replacement options under the guarantee).
When we got our hands on it, the iPad 4 (an A1460 model) wasn’t turning on. It turned out that the other store had only carried out some basic diagnostics- typically what we’d expect most “no fix, no fee” repair centres would offer– and had ruled out the battery and the dock.
Introduction
It’s always easiest to explain and demonstrate the issues involved in data recovery by looking at a real-life example of our work. Here, you’ll see what’s involved in a typical case, how we differ from typical “guy in bedroom/small shop” data recovery services, why we charge a little more than them- and why we’re more than worth it!This particular case started with a customer bringing a faulty external hard drive to us. The problem was very simple- the drive wasn’t being detected by the OS (in this case, Windows) at all and the data was important to the customer.
