Fraser Valley iPhone Repair

A big thanks to Igor at DigitalAbby in Mission for the referral. I helped one of his customer who wanted to repair her grand-daughter's iPhone 5c as a Christmas present. Here is what the phone looked like prior to me repairing it.   

After replacing the screen assembly on an iPhone 5c over the weekend, the customer contacted me to report that her phone was not longer taking a charge. I reassured her that the work performed could not have caused the charging port to malfunction but that I would be happy to have another look at her phone and repair it if I could troubleshoot the issue.  We met up tonight at a local Starbucks and proceeded to diagnose the problem. I used my own charger which I know works properly and when inserting it into the phone, it connected for a split second, then disconnected. If I held the cable pressed in, I was then able to make a connection. There was nothing inside the Lightning port and no visible damage in the area. The customer mentioned that when the phone was dropped and the screen broke, the phone had tumbled down a set of stairs. I figured the connector might have been pushed in by the fall and proceeded to loosen up the 4 screws that hold the connector inside the phon...

I replaced the screen on an iPhone 5c for a Chilliwack customer today. The client had purchased a 3rd party accidental damage warranty when I acquired the phone a week earlier but the warranty company wanted a $200 deductible in order to replace the phone. The agent even went as far as suggesting that he should look for a third party repair shop and that it would be less expensive... So much for that warranty.  Needless to say that the customer  Cancelled the $10/month he was paying.  Here is a picture of the phone before the repair. The phone had fallen off of his second floor balcony!
