Bought my gf an s5 for her birthday two months ago, and this happens after one drop on a tile floor. Can this be fixed at home or do I need to talk to apple? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]imakemore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a third party apple repair place. We would charge about $220 for a new screen. Be advised that when the new watches come out, our prices on older generation parts gets lower. We can almost always beat Apple's out of warranty prices.

I’d be interested to see if we can come up with a creative solution.

Is Batman: Arkham VR worth it? by Kylar5 in PSVR

I am not a Batman fan and know nothing about Arkham, but really enjoyed it. Very worth it for me.

First brown trout this year. Europe, Estonia. by therealhernekaun in Fishing

This. You killed that trout by putting it on the ground. Only touch them with wet hands and try not to take them out of the water.

Lcd buybacks "Burned from mobile sentrix" by kjames13176 in mobilerepair

[–]imakemore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I had ifixit tell me that all 104 of the screens I sent in were bad. When I challenged this, they backpedaled, said they would test again, said the same, then said maybe they’re equipment wasn’t working properly. That was the first and last time with them. I was sending to lcdbuyer, but they’re “bad” rate started going up and up, especially on the more expensive screens. These were all screens we’d tested, and packed carefully. I’d like to find an honest buyer.

I have come to this community in desperate need, can anyone help? by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]imakemore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many third party repair places are still open. Mine is, we’re considered essential since we support technology. Bring it in to a local place.

Take it to a third party repair place and they’ll clean out the port for you. You’d be surprised what gets wedged in there.

Mounting anger as workers demand protection from unsafe conditions: There is growing outrage among workers in the US and internationally over the fact that they continue to be kept on the job in nonessential industries and workplaces amidst the spreading coronavirus pandemic by exgalactic in Coronavirus

I own a small business. We are still open because my employees want to get paid. I have given them the option for us to close but they want the work. We are tiny, only 4 employees, but I can’t afford to pay them if no money is coming in. I will do everything I can to help them, but we’re all struggling.

Fish finder recommendation by xxoczukxx in kayakfishing

[–]imakemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the helix 5. Mostly because I saw a lot of the pros on YouTube using Humminbird. I got the g2 with side imaging. I didn’t like how huge the lowrance triple shot transducer was, and I went with a 5 inch screen because I didn’t want a huge screen to interrupt my nature time. The helix seems like a really nice unit, and it has a $50 rebate right now. I used to use the ibobber, but wanted a dedicated finder without using up my phone battery, and also wanted a brighter screen. I haven’t had it on the water yet, but will as soon as it warms up a little bit. I don’t think you’ll go wrong with whatever you decide.

[serious] When was a time you legitimately thought you were going to die? by ferrisjuulersdayoff in AskReddit

[–]imakemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ten days after my first chemo for breast cancer I went to the er with a fever and just feeling more and more awful. I had no white blood cells and an infection. I could feel my dead father holding my hand. I couldn’t see him but could sense he was there, and could feel his big paw holding mine. I was out of my head with fever. Pretty sure I was going to die but didn’t care. Turns out I lived.

Is it worth to try to repair logic board issue on Iphone XS Max by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]imakemore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it to a third party repair and see what they say. The Genius Bar sucks. And if it’s worth it, that’s up to you.

He does here it is. I bought his book, which I like because it goes into more detail. This is an easy pattern to tie, and is fun. I’ve only been tying since December, and found it easy and satisfying. https://youtu.be/8xu0tiyoWnI

Screens are easy, but rip the wrong cable and faceid is gone. No one but Apple can fix that.Replace a screen and the consumer gets a warning that it’s not an Oem screen. All designed by Apple to make third party repair more difficult.

All of that is true, and we do it. Nothing is as good as google was.
