Our mobile phones have become such a vital part of our day to day lives that it can be devastating when they end up getting broken – what do you do next?
If your phone has run into trouble you can come to The Exchange, the best mobile repair shop in East Finchley for reliable and fast phone repairs. Here are just a few of the most common mobile phone repairs we do:
Reliable mobile phone repair
When it comes to your phone you want to make sure you’re getting the best repairs possible – otherwise you’ll just be back in the same situation, or a worse situation, a few weeks later. Although you can go straight to the manufacturer for repairs, this is often a slow and costly choice, but you should also be wary of overly cheap repair options too as they’re likely to do a botch job – especially when it comes to suspiciously cheap screen repairs.
A good, reliable phone repair service will be upfront with you about what’s wrong with your phone, how much it will cost and how long it will take, as well as using top quality parts. When you talk to them they’ll quickly work out the problem and won’t shirk away from how much it’ll cost.
Good phone repair companies will also ask you about your warranty and will make sure that they won’t make it invalid by fixing your phone; if possible they’ll be able to extend your warranty to cover repairs. You need to feel like you’re talking to an expert.
Phone Screen Repairs
Cracked phone screens are one of the biggest blunders when it comes to your phone. An accidental drop can make it practically impossible to use, and all too many of us go on day by day struggling to make out a text through a cracked screen.
You need to get a cracked screen repaired to keep your phone going, otherwise you’re bound to run into more problems down the line – the mobile screen cracks will only get bigger and you could encounter water damage or other similar issues if it’s left as it is. And no, cellotape is not the way to fix it.
Phone screen repairs are an easy job so long as you take your phone to the right repair shop. Again, always be wary of a shop which has suspiciously low prices, as they’re likely to give you a cheap plastic screen which won’t last and will make the problem even worse, rather than a high quality glass or LCD screen.
You want to be given an authentic new screen which will last, and ideally walk away with a screen protector and new phone case too so it doesn’t happen again.
Water damaged phone repairs
Water damage is another issue which we run into all the time. Depending on your phone, water damage could happen from something as unfortunate as dropping your phone in a puddle or the toilet, or something as simple as texting in the rain. Water damaged phones are pretty much completely unusable – for some the touch screen stops working and many others completely shut down.
Lots of us will desperately attempt home fixes in this situation, ‘The Rice Method’ being a particular favourite. This involves soaking your water damaged phone in dry rice for 24 hours or more to see if this soaks up the water.
In my experience this method takes time, rarely works and even if your phone does come back to life, you’re left with mushy bits of rice stuck in the cracks meaning it isn’t worth the wait.
It’s much easier and reliable to take your water damaged phone to a trustworthy repairs service – by doing this you’ll have a much better chance of getting your phone and all your memories and info on it back, which is far better (and cheaper) than having to get a new phone altogether.
