iPhone service under warranty at a service center - is it repaired or issued a new one? Did you drown your iPhone? He can still be saved! (Instructions).
Articles and Lifehacks
Accidentally broken iPhone can cause a real tragedy, especially if its owner acquired it relatively recently (even knowing it, knowledge can be difficult to apply). A blow or sudden drop of the device can seriously damage the structure of the display itself, which will cause “broken” pixels to appear, and the image on the screen will not be fully viewable – unless, of course, it disappears completely. However, it is possible to replace faulty parts of the liquid crystal display with new and original ones, and the iPhone will work again without any restrictions.
Is it likely that your iPhone will break?
From the very beginning of the product's appearance Apple On the domestic market, quite a lot of information has appeared on the Internet about American experimenters who conducted various studies in order to find out all the possibilities, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of new devices. The results of these studies turned out to be quite interesting. Thus, only 9.9% of all products, including the iPhone, failed due to the fault of the manufacturer itself. Moreover, each new model always turned out to be better than the previous one. And finally, over 20% of smartphone damage was caused by careless handling by the owner himself. As a rule, it was the screens that were broken (66% of the total number of breakages).
So, the main reason that an iPhone fails is careless handling by its owner. In addition, do not forget that Apple has never positioned its products as water-resistant or particularly durable.
Where should I take my broken iPhone to get repaired?
Repairing a device such as a broken iPhone is one of the most difficult procedures. That is why it is recommended to entrust it to service center professionals. What is the main advantage of such a renovation? Usually, upon completion, the specialist conducts full diagnostics devices on equipment specially designed for this purpose. Even if it is obvious that only the screen is broken, checking is still mandatory, since it can reveal other, internal and less noticeable damage.
The design of the display is quite fragile, so in order to break the screen, its owner will not need much effort. Cracks on the edges can even appear if the owner, using it carelessly, drops it on the floor covered with soft carpeting.
If the user does drop his iPhone and sees that the display is broken, he should not attempt to repair it at home. In addition to the fact that repair is a complicated procedure, you will need a new and working screen. Regardless of the model of the device, it is recommended to immediately contact a service center that specializes in servicing Apple products. There the device will be repaired and diagnosed, after which it will again be able to delight with its reliable and high-quality work.
A very common reason for which repairs have to be made modern phones, such as an iPhone, is when liquid gets into the inside of the gadget. Moisture gets into electronic circuits through headphone ports, charging connector, microphone, various microcracks. Today there are many offers in the service sector. This includes calling a computer technician to your home and assistance from specialists who understand Apple products. But there are some things you can do with your own hands.
Getting rid of moisture
In the event that liquid has penetrated into the filling of your smartphone, you need to quickly:
- turn it off;
- dry the boards.
You can use a regular household hair dryer for this. You need to pull out the tray with the SIM card, and then blow a stream of heated air into the phone (do not use a hot stream!). Don’t forget to shake the gadget so that the drops that are inside come out of hard-to-reach places. Very effective method One that helps combat moisture is the use of a product such as rice grits. You need to put the iPhone in a plate with rice so that the liquid is absorbed. If the actions are unsuccessful, you will have to seek help from specialists from the service center.
If the display is damaged
A very common problem associated with mobile technology, is a fall of the device, causing the screen to break. It is known that the glass in an iPhone and the touchscreen are one whole. Accordingly, if the glass is damaged, then there is no way to do without replacing the touchscreen. It is not easy to cope with this matter on your own; you need to contact the service. But sometimes the damage is not very serious, and the smartphone functions normally. Worth applying protective film to the display. Thanks to this, you can ensure that moisture does not penetrate into the phone through cracks.
Things to remember
A very common problem among owners of Apple devices is frame damage. This happens not only due to the fall of the gadget, but also when it is impacted by various sharp and hard objects, such as keys. Because of this, the functions of the side keys are impaired. Of course, you need to use special covers.
Sometimes an iPhone user must solve a problem related to faulty keys. The buttons are connected by one cable, therefore, if one fails, the entire system must be replaced. The cable must be changed very carefully. The keys should fit exactly in their place after replacement. Only in this case will they work normally.
The more technology develops, the more we trust it. Owners of iPhones, in particular, show this trust even more often: it’s too convenient, a beast, and status-bearing. Compared to other smartphones, it inspires more confidence among users, because there is an elephant heap of applications for it, making it unnecessary to own various other gadgets. This, on the one hand, is very convenient, because it saves us from an abundance of things. On the other hand, what should you do if something happens to your iPhone? What if it breaks or gets lost?
If you suddenly find yourself in a situation where you need to restore your iPhone, there is no need to panic right away. Instead, hold your butt down and, as they say, just fucking google! By the way, we did just that and collected a good bunch of tips for you on different cases incapacity of your iPhone.
Of course, there is no guarantee that these tips will turn out to be miraculous and will resurrect your favorite device, but it’s still worth trying to apply them - in any case, it’s better than throwing yourself on the bed and sobbing in inconsolable grief.
Dry your iPhone
Most often, iPhones turn into nothing precisely because of contact with water. To our deepest (to the center of the Earth) regret, the warranty will not cover this damage, and iPhones are equipped with built-in water sensors, so you will not be able to deceive the technicians and come up with another reason for the breakdown - so they will not replace it for you, they will not reimburse you for it . If you manage (unfortunately!) to soak your iPhone, you don’t have to give up and resign yourself to the fact that everything is lost. The main thing is do not try to immediately turn it on again after getting wet, because this will most likely ruin the microcircuits, and it will become almost impossible to restore your friend.
Restoring your iPhone begins by drying it with a towel, and then placing it in a container of dry rice in a warm, dry room to prevent moisture from spreading inside the phone. Then it would be a good idea to get hold of bags of moisture absorbers - these are often found in boxes with shoes and everything else, usually there is also a scary “DO NOT EAT” mark. These are usually silicone balls: shake them out of the bags and put them in a zip-lock bag, and place the same iPhone next to them, seal them and leave them like that for several days. This should suck out any remaining moisture from the phone, and if you're lucky, your iPhone will come back to life.
Bad luck? Last method- this is to wrap your iPhone in a towel and turn on the oven at 60 degrees, if there is such an option. Place the iPhone in a towel on the very edge of the oven shelf and leave the door open - and let it spend two hours like that. This is a very risky step, but it has helped some - and in the end, who cares if a broken iPhone ends up in a landfill anyway?
How to find a lost phone and protect your personal data from a distance
MobileMe is a useful thing in case you lose your iPhone. For the “Find my iPhone” option to work, you need to enable it in the MobileMe settings on your phone - of course, in advance. And then, every time your iPhone is lost, just log in to me.com and you will see the location of your phone on the map. To further aid the iPhone recovery process, users can also command it (remotely!) to send sound signal and so notified them of his location - if only they were nearby. If you are physically unable to hear the signal from your lost phone, some good Samaritan may find him, and the iPhone will show him a message from you so that he can return the phone to your kind, shaking hands. Does anyone return found iPhones? I wish I could meet this nice man...
Another useful feature available with MobileMe is the ability to remotely set a password to lock your unit. This setting is activated on me.com in your account immediately after setting Find My Phone. Also available is something as reliable as remote wipe: MobileMe can erase any personal data stored on the device, as well as restore settings to factory settings. If you want to restore your iPhone after erasing personal information, all your data can be transferred to your phone using a backup stored on your computer. Only for this you need to have a backup. Have a backup, dude!
Cracked or broken screen
If you break the screen of your iPhone, the first thing you need to do is check whether it responds to touch. If the screen works, you now have only one concern - whether the glass has stuck into your fingers. To prevent this from happening, you can buy a special protector, and broken glass can be temporarily sealed with transparent film - not very elegant, but new phone no need to buy.
If the screen is damaged so much that it is impossible to use the phone, we have bad news: replacing the glass will cost you 3-3.5 thousand rubles. Be careful next time, dude!
Scratches
Special gizmos have also been developed to fix scratches on iPhones - for example, a gizmo called Ice Creme Advanced Scratch Remover, which removes damage from acrylic, polycarbonate and metal surfaces. I Googled it, it costs 23 bucks, the set includes two bottles and some other applicators, rags and a special piece for metal.
Another solution to the problem is iDrops. A more common trick that iPhone owners resort to is using a wool rag or other abrasives that can combat small roughness on metal parts. But this is so-so, not very effective. For those who care about scratches, there are a variety of cases and special plastic films for iPhones.
The speaker went silent
Often the owner of an iPhone does not hear what the interlocutor is telling him at the other end of the... uh... wire, not because the speaker is broken. For example, the reason for this could be a problem with the audio output: the phone may think that headphones are connected to it because dirt has clogged the connector - this can happen. The iPhone thinks you're wearing headphones and continues to send sound to the headphone jack. So you can first clean it there - for example, with a cotton swab.
The official solution from Apple is to insert and remove the headphones five times in a row at maximum speed. This will switch the sound back to normal and the phone will talk again. By at least must.
From iPhone falling No one is insured - no matter how careful the user is with his equipment. However, the worst thing is if the smartphone falls into the water - a few seconds (and sometimes even one second) are enough for the iPhone to be silent forever, depending on your luck. There are several ways iPhone rescue after contact with water, we will talk about them in this article.
ABOUT rough plan Many people have heard of what to do if any device falls into water - advice about drying it on a battery, with a hairdryer or in rice immediately comes to mind. However, few people know correct sequence performing all these actions, and few people are familiar with the details of the same drying. So what should you do if your iPhone falls into water?
Note: If iPhone has been in water long time, for example, 30 seconds or more, it is better to immediately go to a service center and not make any attempts to resuscitate the device with your own hands.
Drying iPhone
Important: you cannot turn on the iPhone in order to check its functionality. Even if the water did not cause serious harm, play it safe and follow the instructions described below. Turning on a water-damaged device can lead to permanent failure.
The first thing to do is try to wipe the device as quickly as possible and begin preparations for drying. The ideal solution would be to disconnect the battery, but without the skills iPhone disassembly this is unlikely to be possible. In this case, you need to remove the SIM card tray, pick up a regular hair dryer and start drying the device. Be careful to turn on the hairdryer maximum speed and the temperature is undesirable - this can only make it worse.
Can also help alternative way, the idea of which is to dry the iPhone with rice. Rice perfectly absorbs moisture, and cases of gadgets being saved after falling into water have been recorded more than once. Skepticism aside, take the sunken iPhone and place it in a bag of rice for 12-24 hours, best done after an initial blow-dry.
Turn on iPhone
And now, a day has passed since you accidentally dropped your iPhone into the water. The smartphone was dried and now lies in a bag of rice, awaiting its fate. Statistics show that even if the water ingress is not very strong and all the above instructions are followed correctly, the iPhone will “come to life” in 65% of cases, however, you need to prepare for the worst.
If the iPhone does not turn on, unfortunately, you will have to take it to a service center, in the hope that the contacts remain intact and can be restored. Repairs, depending on the number of defects, can be estimated at 1000-10000 rubles.
