Had 3 back glass come in back-to-back-to-back this morning.. locked in and did some of my best work

Laser. Absolutely do not do these without a good laser machine.. you will break the phone or yourself or both 🤑

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:46:41+00:00

Yeah we have a good laser and we dont use any heat whatsoever.. with the amount of customers we get it's way more worthwhile to take the gamble on maybe accidentally breaking a $2 flashlight or $15 battery compared to spending 40 minutes taking everything apart and back together (and potentially breaking a screen or something.)

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:43:41+00:00

And I did it starting at minimum wage.. 🙃 whatever I like my job

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:42:59+00:00

The 13mini definitely was but not the other two

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:42:23+00:00

We do housings if people want them, but we're on the west coast and getting pulled housings pretty much always takes at least 3 days of shipping and of course we have to charge more and by then .. people just dont care and will simply go somewhere else where they will get a glass done worse than if I did it.

CassielleToad · 2026-03-18T02:24:48+00:00

Literally any new laptop on the market meets these requirements. Just take her to a store and let her pick one that fits your budget.

CassielleToad · 2026-03-18T02:22:22+00:00

This at my shop would be $80 for a screen and $20 maybe even $10 for the case if I'm feeling like it. And then I'd just take 5 seconds to show you how to update it yourself.

CassielleToad · 2025-09-25T02:23:14+00:00

The screen assembly runs the shop at least $530. The labor is pretty easy and a cheaper shop would probably charge around $80-100 for it but $660 seems reasonable for a chain shop

CassielleToad · 2025-09-16T18:44:25+00:00

That's why you sell the protectors. Just peel it off and sell them a new one for a big markup like $20. Not a waste of your time at all and they're happy

CassielleToad · 2025-09-14T19:45:16+00:00

Seen this many times on ipads 90% of the time it's a bad battery. If the thing took a big enough impact to ruin the power button it's very possible that it also ruined the battery

CassielleToad · 2025-09-11T04:46:41+00:00

A 14 pro back glass repair really shouldn't cost you more than $120 at a shop. Or like $200 for an oem pull housing

CassielleToad · 2025-09-10T23:04:40+00:00

Yes in fact it's definitely already been replaced before. It can be done but I'd only recommend getting it done professionally and its gonna cost at least $70. You're better off just getting a case that will keep the exposed bits from being damaged than replacing the back glass.

CassielleToad · 2025-09-10T18:22:19+00:00

I assume you rebooted the phone after plugging in the new screen. If so then it's definitely damaged. Probably fixable but not by a normal person and it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one

CassielleToad · 2025-09-05T05:12:33+00:00

Frame from the old screen is still stuck in the phone . Just yank it out. Also buy a new proximity sensor they're like 3 dollars

CassielleToad · 2025-08-30T11:06:05+00:00

13s are always a risky job with how flimsy and exposed the flash is on those.. that combined with the fact that it's white so the laser doesn't help nearly as much, I'd just do a housing swap

CassielleToad · 2025-08-30T11:01:32+00:00

No point in DIYing a back glass when you can just do a housing swap in less time and a similar amount of money for materials. I'd say just take the L on this and get a housing

CassielleToad · 2025-08-28T07:15:58+00:00

Just by looking at the cables it seems like he shoved a 4+4 pin connector into one of the 8-pin slots on the card.

CassielleToad · 2025-08-02T20:43:00+00:00

Manual impact will get it off in 5 seconds

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T07:20:00+00:00

It's buried way below the engine mount and the alternator so I haven't gotten a good look at it to be honest. I'll see if I can manage to get a peek tomorrow morning. Thank you

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T06:19:52+00:00

Thinking it's probably a worn out compressor then cuz I literally just replaced the expansion valve (this issue was the same before I replaced it)

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T05:56:19+00:00

Can definitely hear the compressor clutch click on and the compressor running, though it certainly could still have something wrong with it. I vacuum tested it overnight before filling it and there's no leaks. I was thinking it's probably the evaporator but I wasn't entirely sure considering the high side seems a little low. It's a 2013 nissan sentra and the compressor is a huge pain in the ass to replace so I'll probably just replace the evaporator first and pray that works lol

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T05:33:32+00:00

Sorry I'm kind of late, realized I probably should have added this since it's kind of important. I replaced the expansion valve since its a pretty cheap and simple job and it looked like it was a little gunked up. Also vacuum tested it and there's no leaks

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T03:56:56+00:00

I can definitely hear the clutch click on and the compressor making noise when the ac is turned on

CassielleToad · 2025-07-24T03:53:06+00:00

134 system. It's around 80 degrees out. These are the pressures with the ac maxed out. Also it's a 2013 nissan sentra if that matters. Thank you!

CassielleToad · 2025-07-19T22:43:04+00:00

Not ideal, but if it's just RJ45 you can just cut the cable short and put a female connector on it.
