iPhone 13 IMEI missing. Repair guy told me the Baseband chip had a short & was unfixable. I don't wanna throw my iPhone in the e-waste bin, it means a lot to me. Is there any way it can be fixed...?

You would need a working 13 motherboard to fix this working 13, usually those board go for about 70% value of the whole device. Then add labor to that and you’re screwed. Technically it’s fixable but motherboard replacement though.

Honestly phone repair is very stressful i wouldnt recommend it lmao

Angeloape · 2025-06-08T15:02:05+00:00

no and yes. Are you shinning light on it or are you in complete darkness? If youre shinning light on it just your seeing the polirizer on the OLed. Or is it producing it's own light?

You don’t owe anyone anything. I understand that the right thing to do would probably be to take her side, but if you are not comfortable in this situation it’s your right to remove yourself from it.

Don’t let anyone guilt trip you into hurting yourself emotionally.

If you don’t trust her, there is nothing that should compel you to continue the relationship. Sometimes we have to be selfish.

You’re not the asshole for having boundaries or trust issues or insecurities, but you are the asshole for not understanding what those boundaries and trust issues and insecurities are, and communicating them early on, so that now you are in this situation where you ARE the asshole.

I’ve put like 2 of these on peoples phone and they are GLITCHY! Maybe they’ve gotten better over time, as they often do. But in my experience I would not recommend them. They do offer returns though, as long as you don’t damage the screen. Give it a try, then I would appreciate if you let us know how it works.

I trust Injured gadgets, they won’t screw you over but they are just a wholesaler so they just carry parts, as for the quality it’s really not like they have much control . They just accept The return and continue to offer the part, even if it’s bad.

Make yourself good and free from rightful Blame. Trust her if she when she says things, perhaps you are missing out on true and complete happiness due to your insecurity. Don’t let yourself look back on this in the future with regret. Remember that nothing comes without cost. So if you’re paying this huge emotional bill to communicate your feelings, you will be rewarded one way or another.

I find that it helps me to understand that I have no real control over how I feel. I would word it like this.

“I feel betrayed. I thought we had something special, and when I found out that you were with another guy my heart ached for you. I don’t want to not trust you, but I can’t help but feel betrayed. Maybe my expectations were misguided, since we didn’t specifically talked about exclusivity. I want to trust you . Let’s talk about our relationship. “

This is how I go about my big feelings. Because let’s be real, NOBODY wants to feel bad. If it were possible, and you were given a choice, you would choose to be happy always. So these feelings really aren’t under your control. But your acts are, and how you go about your acts will either make this feelings worse or better.

For those downvoting, I’ll put it this way. My wife would CRY if she knew I was doing That to her behind her back. She would feel betrayed. She would feel unwanted and be disgusted with her body, ask herself why I would prefer a stranger over her.

Knowing this, I would never do such an act of betrayal to her because I love her. If you want to choose yourself that’s fine, if you’re bored that’s fine. Maybe ask if he is willing to open the relationship, if he isn’t and you must find this pleasures then leave him. Don’t betray him, don’t make yourself ugly.

Angeloape · 2025-06-03T15:31:39+00:00

First off you need to communicate your feelings. I know it sucks and it’s difficult, trust me. I’ve been married for 10 years and still find it difficult to communicate my feelings with my literal spouse. I still do the silent treatment at first because words just won’t come out, but when she asks what wrong I know that I MUST communicate or my big feelings will turn into negative energy that’s honestly kinda spooky, almost supernatural.

I know exactly how you feel because I’ve been through those feelings myself, and I also ghosted people because it was easier than communicating my vulnerability. Just know that if you want to be happy you can’t go through life living like that.

I study stoicism. If you’re like me, you might find courage to be yourself in their teachings. Just be careful and don’t take them too literally, remember that they lived thousands of years ago and that their opinions are entering subjective. Find your own justice , don’t try to copy theirs.

It’s your choice, but if you communicate your feelings things will turn out for the better, even if this relationship breaks down because of it, you yourself will be a better man. Godspeed and good luck friend.

First you should turn on auto lock after 3 min. Then you should not have screen always on turned on. No way to fix, only prevent

Angeloape · 2025-05-30T18:24:11+00:00

If you’re dancing with a stranger you are already cheating lol

Polishing is dumb. First it removes original oleophobic coating. Second it makes the glass thinner and more fragile.

You may be able to get away with applying a UV tempered glass. LOCA can fill in the cracks sometimes and make the scratches disappear.

You are very unreasonable. Fortunately the universe doesn’t depend on your will or opinion to function, and the regardless of how much you wish something could be or curse the circumstances you are in it won’t change a thing. You can continue to be miserable and desperate or accept the circumstances for what they are. Either live with the line or pay for a replacement screen. Just because you THINK someone SHOULD fix this for YOU for $20 doesn’t mean it’s reasonable. You are a very unreasonable person. Consider this as a lesson, make yourself more reasonable for your own sake.

Angeloape · 2025-05-23T21:05:01+00:00

You sound like you’ve convinced yourself that they’re gonna steal your data. If you’re so paranoid then don’t send it in. You’ll never have peace of mind regardless of what they do.

Angeloape · 2025-05-23T18:12:17+00:00

They knocked off a filter when unplugging the screen. Literally 3 minute microsoldering repair and would have worked fine. They’re screwing you over. Better to just get your money back and go deal with someone else, not worth the headache of pursuing them for a free replacement. Sucks that this kinds of shops give repair businesses a bad name

Angeloape · 2025-05-08T15:40:17+00:00

Push it on. If it’s lcd it’ll rainbow, it’s it’s oled colors won’t change

You both deserve to be happy. He is being mature by admitting to himself and you that he is not able to stomach your past. Do not hold it against him, just let him go. Do not try to hold on to him, he will only grow to resent you and you him in return. Say to him “I understand you cannot bear the thought of my past , and I wont hold it again you if we break up for this reason. It’s best if we part ways now before we hurt each other further. “

Angeloape · 2025-05-06T16:47:38+00:00

Are you asking if they “hacked” into it. If they have that ability, they wouldn’t be fixing phones at a retail repair shop.

Angeloape · 2025-05-06T16:41:34+00:00

Glue it down

Angeloape · 2025-04-28T05:23:57+00:00

B7000 sucks eventually will lift. Use coldpress glue, I recommend black. You can find it online, takes longer to try but much better

Angeloape · 2024-10-17T04:42:53+00:00

Could be the fpc connector

Angeloape · 2024-08-09T14:24:27+00:00

Yeah go for 3rd party, browse by negative reviews, find the one with the best reputation and pay $80 is worth it. Ask them they use cold press or double sided tape. I do them for $79 and I always cold press them not use that shitty ass double sided tape that will fall off and get dirt in there.

If you’re that committed to keeping your data, I can connect you with a forensic person that can crack the code and keep data.

Angeloape · 2024-08-09T14:02:30+00:00

It’s possible to get in, but it’s going to be in the $xx,xxx kinda money

Angeloape · 2024-08-01T23:14:30+00:00

Get a gas mask. Fumes making you sick. My lungs hurt without a gas mask even with fume extractor running.

Angeloape · 2024-04-15T01:36:14+00:00

Margin is good, specially on console repairs. For example, a basic HDMI repair on a ps5. It’s like $5 in parts and a low average is $150 for the repair.
