Why festive phone dilemmas shouldn’t get you down

We’ve all been there. Hospitable drinks at the neighbours’ house, a tipple at the pub, a meal with friends. The festive period is a well-earned chance for many to wind down and relax, but it also brings the prospect of more breakages and accidents involving your mobile phone!

It’s true. Mobiles get dropped in all sorts of places when we’ve… um … had a drink or two! On the tiled kitchen floor, on the pavement, in a puddle, in snow, in mud, in the freezer, from the top of the stairs to the bottom and in a watery place that’s perhaps best not mentioned!

Phones also get trodden on, sat on, and left in pockets to only go and venture in to the washing machine of all places! We’ve seen them covered in jam, cake mix, glitter-glue and batter. And we’ve lost count of the number of phones we’ve seen that have made great chew-bones for man’s best friend and even been nibbled by the pet rabbit.

Yes, our personal gadgetry gets somewhat of a pounding on a regular basis and even more so at Christmas time.

When something causes damage to your phone, it’s natural to think that your piece of highly technical engineering is ruined beyond repair. Circuitry, microprocessors, ports and accurately manufactured screens are delicate items aren’t they? And dog food isn’t good for them … right?

Well, you’d be surprised at what we can do with a damaged phone, so don’t give up on it. What you need is a dedicated, specialist repair service. A team of trusted professionals who can work wonders with your favourite device and bring it back to life.

Repairs are as diverse as the number of ways a mobile can be damaged, so think carefully before deciding that it’s come to an untimely end. There’s a lot that can be done to resurrect it!

By taking your mobile to a repair service, you’ll be able to talk through what happened to it and get an expert opinion on whether it can be saved and restored back to its previous pristine condition.

What we can do?

Tech-savvy experts will not only render first-aid, but will perform methodical and thorough cleaning and testing, whilst fully investigating the possibility of returning your phone to you, negating the need to replace it before it’s ready!

Their skills are boundless (well, nearly). They frequently carry out in-house screen repairs, battery replacements and charging port replacements, all at a very competitive but realistic price.

The market price of parts can affect repair charges, and using cheap or copy parts, or parts from scrap devices is just not an option. Parts are sourced from manufacturers with no compromises. Quality is paramount!

Some repairs which are not possible in-house are sent to our trusted repairers. And don’t worry about a huge unexpected bill popping up. We always advise you on the anticipated costs beforehand so there are no nasty surprises!

And it’s not just hardware that may need attention.

We are masters at resetting lost cloud-based logins e.g. iCloud, Gmail and Windows accounts, in order to retrieve data from handsets which are beyond economic repair or which are severely water damaged.

We can also set up exchange servers or email on devices and ensure that they are synchronised correctly; a real advantage which assists you if you should ever lose or damage your handset. Working alongside I.T. and server companies, we make sure that all angles are covered.

Don’t despair!

Your mobile is tougher than you may think. A repair is often a strong possibility and if your handset is insured, you may even find there’s very little you’ll have to pay towards its return from death’s door.

Need a repair or service? Any handset on any network? That’ll be M-Viron.

Whatever happens to your phone, never despair. Visit the M-Viron mobile phone store, just off the High Street in Stone and speak to us about our repair service.

We’d love to hear about any disasters your mobile has lived through, or any strange situations that no phone should ever have to encounter!
