ENGINEER, IS MY PHONE READY?
The question this woman kept asking us.
Yesterday, a woman walked into our office with her little boy and an iPhone 12 Pro Max that had seen better days.
The screen was damaged. The back glass was broken. The battery had swollen so badly that it was pushing the screen up. To make matters worse, the phone couldn’t detect a SIM card, and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren’t working.
She found us through a Facebook post and contacted us on WhatsApp. During our conversation, I asked her to bring the phone in so we could diagnose it properly before giving her a price.
When we finally diagnosed it, we discovered that the major problem was a baseband issue. That was why the SIM card, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren’t working.
We explained the cost of the repairs, and she was surprised. She wasn’t expecting the price to be that high. After some bargaining, we reached an agreement and started the work.
First, we had to tackle the motherboard issue before moving on to the screen, battery and back glass.
At one point, we had separated the board, and the phone was completely opened up on our workbench.
Then came the question
“Engineer, is the phone ready? Is there any improvement? Can I go?”
She was at the reception, while we were inside working the repair lab. She couldn’t see what was happening, so I understood why she kept asking.
I told her something that made me smile:
“You know, sometimes, in the middle of surgery, everything can look scary. It may look as if something terrible is happening, but the surgeon is working to save a life. That’s how phone repair can be too. Right now, your phone is opened up, but we are working to bring it back to life.”
We continued working.
And finally, SUCCESS!
We resolved the baseband issue. The phone could now detect a SIM card, connect to Wi-Fi and use Bluetooth again!
Then we replaced the damaged screen, changed the swollen battery and fixed the broken back glass.
When we were done, the woman tested her phone herself.
SIM card? Working! ✅
Wi-Fi? Working! ✅
Bluetooth? Working! ✅
Face ID? Working! ✅
She confirmed everything, paid for the repair and left our office happy.
And honestly, we were happy too.
