Now that the iPhone 3GS is a few years old, I have seen several cases of the batteries breaking down, gassing and ballooning. This results in a badly broken, bulged case and a bent circuit board. Usually, this is all fixable as I have fixed several of these. I guess Apple never thought this would happen.

Well, what a surprise! I am now appearing in another blog called The Customer Blog. It is a really great article and I am very proud of the response to my business. Please read it
here.

Here is a MacBook Pro which is only 4 years old. Understandably, Apple won't deal with it because it is far too old (I understand how their sales' strategy works). A shame since this cost about £1200 and all that was wrong was a duff screen. Anyway, £100 later and I had fitted it with a new LG LCD screen and it is as good as new. One happy customer. Sure this isn't the last one I will fix.

Whilst this isn't really phone related, I am very happy that Whiteley New Shops are being built as we speak. This will enable my customers to go shopping in Marks and Spencer, Next, Boots etc whilst I fix their phones. I am even writing a blog on it at

Yes, I have bought the kit and done it!!! Not an easy mod and I opted for soldering to the circuit board. The back is quite thin so bulges slightly but overall, a cool mod. Certainly not a mod for the faint hearted since you can easily ruin the phone. Basically, the Apple logo lights when you press the power button, home button etc and lights up when called or calling. Apple should do it (and charge loads for it) but I doubt they will.

Here is one of the newer Blackberry phones - the Torch. This one was badly damaged with both LCD and digitiser smashed. But it is all fixable which is the main thing. I have also just seen and iPhone4 which was left on a van roof. It lasted up to about 60mph before the Bluetooth connection was lost and it bounced down the carriageway . It looked terminal, but no! The iPhone4 lived again with a new screen. It is amazing how resilient they are.

So what have I been fixing, apart from iPhones? Well, plenty of Blackberry devices (some with software issues), a Canon SLR camera which had a faulty internal power supply, a MacBook which had a smashed glass screen, an iTouch 4 which bizarrely had the headphone jack connector fall off the circuit board.....it goes on. Plenty of water damaged phones still come in as do plenty of smashed screens, a few a result of New Year celebrations. What is my New Year's Resolution?
To make the business even more successful and help as many people as I can!!!

Well, I have just fixed the worst smashed iPad2 so far. Problem is, when they get this badly smashed, it can break the 3G and wi-fi aerials as well since Apple has stuck them to the screen. Anyway, I successfully repaired it and the customer is very happy. Merry Xmas to everybody I have seen in the last year. Spencer

Well, our own iPhone4s lovelies have been playing us up. My wife's kept saying 'Invalid SIM' and mine kept on turning off. The only way forward seemed to be to restore them both which seems to have worked. It's annoying really and I think Apple will have a new IOS out soon to fix other problems such as the poor battery life.
With my business, I am seeing less iPhone 3G now with iPhone 3GS and iPhone4 dominating my time. I am also seeing lots more iTouch 4G and iPad 1 and 2 now which is great to have the variety. As usual, thanks to all for your custom.

Yes, I have taken my new iPhone4S apart. Quite happy that Apple haven't changed it too much, but a few bits and pieces in different places such as the linear vibrate motor bottom left and a lot of the connectors run horizontal as opposed to vertical. All in all, happy I can deal with it.
