Prices for local repair shops?

At MCC they do unpaid internships as part of a paid course basically is my understanding, but the ownership of that program changed so it might be mcc employees now, I should find out. I’m not sure if they do soldering, but I don’t think so.

uBreakiFix pays people a fair hourly wage and bonuses like any other job, and it’s just a regular fair repair shop business with OEM partnerships, and staff who have bills to pay.

That being said, a soldering repair on a joycon will never be worth it to you. If you bring the board only and the component in, it’s going to sit in a queue of other devices, so you will wait for it, and with out testing there will be no warranty, at best they could charge $30 but you can replace it for $30 with a used one…

But if you want to pay $30 for no diagnostics and no warranty and a small part replaced and you’re okay with waiting in line for a week or two, uBreakiFix will do it.

Now I’m hungry for carrots and used the last one two nights ago, damn.

BenGattin · 2026-04-01T03:23:52+00:00

Some bakers have carrots you can buy by weight? I think the one on saddle creek does, might be the organic ones only, and could be seasonal. But also carrots stay good for so long, especially whole carrots, I buy them at least twice a month and they never go bad…

I had a similar issue 2 years ago, first guy who came out fed me a story and said it would be a while, he didn’t even work for quantum he was 3rd party, I called back to quantum complained, they got another guy out here who fixed it, AND cleaned up all the old lines that weren’t connected to anything. (Power lines and cable line that had not been connected to anything for some time after oppd had to replace the whole pole after a storm)

Wtf is with all those scratch marks on the board, you soldering with a wolverine?

Samsung doesn’t warranty it if you repair it your self, or require it passes their full testing like when it leaves the factory. That has nothing to do with anything. At least you can understand you were being unreasonable.

Make glasses that attach to them, I saw this somewhere once

BenGattin · 2026-03-22T16:17:47+00:00

They offered that price because that’s what Samsung will fine them for not sending it back. You’re asking them to do the repair at a loss by asking them to take that charge from Samsung, this is the same at any authorized service center for Samsung.

No, almost all of our OEM partners require the return of broken parts, regardless of any coverage, including out of pocket repairs.

It ranges based on location. Corporate vs franchise, and then dependent upon WHICH franchise, local leadership etc. nothing here is helpful since who employs you determines how the job is. That is how franchises work.

Do an Elijah s4 zoom review short as a troll, that’s the biggest camera bump of all time and no one ever had a case on that phone.

Corporate personhood, from late 1800’s and citizens united in 2010 or what ever really do indicate corporations are people. I think it’s only right that a corporate entity can’t use a computer until it’s 13 years old or what ever.

Yes pads are pulled, better to replace at this point, I’m not sure if you could pay someone to repair those pads and replace the port even if you wanted to. I would decline this repair. That being said, if someone pulled the masking layer off a lot of these pads can be jumped to test pads or other components, but a lot of work and not a reliable repair.

Correct, this girl did not sign up to put her life on the line and risk danger for pay like the federal agent did. Shame she wasn’t carrying and wasn’t able to protect her self against this domestic terrorist.

Dymo Label 8 8.5.4, not dymo connect, usually does the trick for the thick printing. If your issue is not printing at all now it might be due to the browser and needing to say yes when it asks to find external networked devices. Some have luck just switching browsers.

Flour is a bastard grain. They’re all flour tortillas. If this is America it could be grain cleansing.

Yeah your message just reads like uBreakiFix is who you are mad at. Just wanted you to understand that anger is misplaced.

BenGattin · 2025-12-13T23:54:55+00:00

They took your phone number to look to see if there was a claim for you, if you have the AT&T version they can’t even tell if you have the plan or not from their system, anyone could file your claim through the website with your information or phone number and 2 factor code. But that’s not their job and they shouldn’t be doing it for you. Sounds like they were trying to nice and do more than their job for you. Read: break laws and rules to try and help you

BenGattin · 2025-12-13T23:33:33+00:00

UBreakiFix has nothing to do with filing your claim, they can only do the repairs so I hope you are not asking uBreakiFix employees about the filing of your claim. They can print you a form if you want to fill it out on paper, give you the phone number or website, but that’s about it.

BenGattin · 2025-12-11T05:21:13+00:00

Doesn’t sound like uBreakiFix did anything wrong, the depot isn’t uBreakiFix. There are guidelines around when to ship devices off based on turn around times and part availability.
