iPhone won't turn on

This is the one other shops send away, because a dead iPhone usually isn't a part you can swap.

Data can come firstComponent-level repair Most repairs same day 90-day parts-and-labour warranty

It's a fault on the logic board — a shorted rail, a failed power chip, corrosion from a spill weeks ago that's been quietly spreading.

If your phone has been written off somewhere else, this is the work they meant. And if the photos are what you actually care about, tell us that first and we'll plan the repair around getting them out.

Say this at the counter

Tell us if the photos are the point

A lot of people come in wanting the phone fixed, when what they actually need is what's on it — the pictures, the messages, the numbers. Those are two different jobs, and knowing which one you're asking for changes how we approach the board from the very first step.

So say it out loud when you drop it off. It costs you nothing to tell us, and it can change the outcome.

What yours does

Any of these?

  • Completely dead — no logo, no buzz, no charging sign
  • Stuck in a loop on the Apple logo
  • Gets warm in one spot on the charger but never starts
  • It died after a drop, a spill, or a cheap charger
Straight answers

The hard questions

It got wet a month ago and worked fine until now. Related?

Almost certainly. Liquid leaves corrosion that keeps eating traces long after the phone seems dry. Dying weeks later is the classic pattern, not a coincidence.

Why did another shop refuse it?

Because it needs a microscope, a soldering and hot-air station, board schematics and someone who can read them. Most shops are set up for part swaps, so a board fault gets turned away.

What if you can't save it?

The diagnostic is $45, credited to the repair if you go ahead. Even if the board can't be saved we can usually still get your data off it, and we'll tell you what's realistic rather than running up a bill.

What it costs to find out

The honest bit about pricing

Most repairs have a price you can get online in seconds. This one doesn't, because nobody can tell you what a dead board needs without opening it — and a shop that quotes you a number over the phone is guessing.

So the diagnostic is $45, and it comes off the price of the repair if you approve it. If you decide not to go ahead, you've paid $45 for a real answer about your device instead of a guess.

Timing: most repairs leave the same day, port work included. Faults like this one are the exception — they have to be traced before they can be quoted, so it is usually one to three days.

Been near liquid at any point? Say so — it changes where we look first, and water-damage repair explains what that job involves.
