We can get your cellular phone back in business usually within a few hours. Most of the parts needed to repair a phone, PDA, Apple iPhone or Blackberry are in stock. We carry parts for most name brands like Nokia, Samsung, Apple, NEC, Sharp, LG, HTC, Sony Ericson and Motorola.

Water Damage?

One of the most important things is not to test the device or push any buttons if the device goes in water. Pushing any button makes the phone send power internally and it is sure to short out something. Do not push buttons!

Cracked Screen?

Often a cell phone or touch device still works after the screen breaks. That's because there are at least two layers. The touch screen sensor is under the first layer. If you continue to use it while it's cracked, you can damage it further and the repair will cost more. Best to get it in so we can fix it right away.
