What We Fix

Mobile devices are complex. We don't just "glue a screen on." We perform deep diagnostics to ensure the board is healthy before reassembly for clients across the **Tri-Cities, TN** area (Johnson City, Bristol, Kingsport, and surrounding communities).

Water Damage Recovery: Board cleaning, corrosion removal, and short-circuit isolation.
Screen & Glass Replacement: Cracked displays on iPhones, Samsungs, and tablets.
Charging Port Repair: Loose ports, no-charge issues, and connector replacement.
Battery Replacement: Swollen or dying batteries restored to full capacity.
Board-Level Diagnostics: Fixing "dead" devices that won't power on due to power IC or capacitor failure.

Phones & Tablets: Brands & Specific Issues

We perform board-level diagnostics for all major brands. We come to you in the Tri-Cities area.

iPhone & iPad

iPhone "No Charge" / Tristar Failure: Often a damaged charging IC (Tristar/Hydra). We replace the chip, not just the port.
Face ID / Touch ID Failure: Caused by flex cable damage or logic board shorts. We diagnose the sensor array.
Water Damage (Liquid Contact): Corrosion on the logic board. We perform ultrasonic cleaning and component-level repair.
iPad Backlight Failure: "Black screen but sound works." Often a broken backlight IC or fuse. We repair the power rail.

Samsung Galaxy & Google Pixel

Samsung "No Power" / Charging Port: USB-C port failure or PMIC (Power Management IC) short. We replace the port or IC.
Pixel "Boot Loop" / Stuck on Logo: Often a software corruption or eMMC/UFS storage failure. We attempt data recovery and re-flash.
Screen Flex Cable Damage: Causes touch issues or no display. We replace the delicate flex cable without damaging the panel.
Overheating & Battery Swelling: Failing battery or power IC. We replace the battery and test the charging circuit.

Tablets & Other Devices

Samsung Tab "No Display": Often a backlight fuse or power rail issue. We diagnose the board.
Kindle Fire Charging Issues: Micro-USB/USB-C port failure. We replace the port and test the power path.
Water Damage on Any Device: Corrosion on the board. We perform ultrasonic cleaning and short isolation.
Cracked Glass vs. LCD: We distinguish between glass-only and full assembly replacement to save you money.

Specific Models & Known Failure Points

We know the specific failure points for each generation. We diagnose the root cause on the board level.

iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15 Series

iPhone 12/13 "No Charge" (Tristar/Hydra):
Common in all models. The Tristar (12/13) or Hydra (14/15) IC fails due to voltage spikes. We replace the chip, not just the port.
Face ID Failure:
Caused by flex cable damage or logic board shorts. We diagnose the sensor array and repair the board if possible.
iPhone 15 USB-C Port Failure:
Physical damage or corrosion. We replace the port and test the power management IC (PMIC).

iPhone X, 11, SE (2nd/3rd Gen)

iPhone X "No Power" / Black Screen:
Often a display flex cable issue or logic board short. We test the backlight circuit and replace the cable if needed.
iPhone 11 "Charging Port" Issues:
Common in all models. We replace the port and verify the Tristar IC is functioning.
SE (2nd/3rd Gen) Touch IC Failure:
Causes "Touch Disease" (screen unresponsive). We re-solder the touch IC or replace the board.

Samsung Galaxy S20-S24 & Pixel

Samsung S21/S22 "No Power" / USB-C Port:
Common in all models. We replace the port and test the PMIC (Power Management IC).
Pixel "Boot Loop" / Stuck on Logo:
Often a software corruption or eMMC/UFS storage failure. We attempt data recovery and re-flash the firmware.
Samsung Fold/Flip Hinge & Flex Damage:
Common in Fold 3/4/5 and Flip 3/4/5. We replace the flex cable or entire hinge assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does it cost to fix my phone's charging port?

A: We start with a **$60 diagnostic fee**. This fee is **100% applied to the repair cost** if you proceed. If the port is not fixable or the repair isn't economical, you only pay the $60 diagnostic fee. We provide a clear quote before any work begins.

Q: Will I lose my photos if you fix the motherboard?

A: In most cases, **no**. Our board-level repairs focus on the power circuits, charging ICs, and other chips. We do not touch the storage (NAND flash) unless specifically asked. However, we always recommend backing up data if the machine can boot, just as a precaution.

Q: Can you fix an iPhone that won't charge after water damage?

A: Yes. We perform **board-level cleaning and corrosion removal** using ultrasonic methods and chemical solvents. We isolate short circuits and replace damaged components (like the Tristar IC, PMIC, or charging port). Success depends on how quickly the device was brought in after the spill.

Q: How long does a phone repair take?

A: Simple fixes (screen, battery, charging port) take **1-2 days**. Board-level repairs (water damage, motherboard shorts) typically take **2-4 days** depending on part availability and the complexity of the fault. We keep you updated throughout the process.

Q: Do you offer a warranty on phone repairs?

A: We don't sell extended warranties, but we stand by our work. If the specific component we replaced fails within **90 days**, we'll fix it again at no charge. We believe in quality soldering and honest diagnostics.
