- What is a cracked-screen iPhone worth? 5 things that set the priceThe price of an iPhone with a cracked screen depends on the model, storage and whether the other parts work; there is no single figure. Working Face ID, battery health and a removed iCloud lock affect the offer most. You can get an offer from Telefon Sat.
- Water spilled on your phone and no sound: which sound is gone?If there is no sound after water spilled on your phone, first work out which sound is gone: the bottom speaker, the call earpiece or the microphone? Often the problem is water in the speaker grille and it clears as it dries; if not, the part or the board should be checked.
- How to tell if the inner screen is broken: signs and simple testsInner screen damage means the panel under the glass is broken, even if the glass looks intact. Black or purple stains, coloured lines, part of the picture missing and touch failing in one area are the most common signs. With cracked outer glass, the picture usually stays sharp.
- Phone display film repair: what the display film is and whether it is replaced aloneWhen people in Turkey say “display film”, they usually mean the panel under the glass that makes the picture (LCD or OLED). When the film is damaged you get stains, lines or no picture; on most models it is not replaced on its own but with the whole screen. A screen protector film is a completely different part.
- Phone dropped in water and touch not working: first steps and your dataIf the touch screen stops working after your phone falls in water, take it out, dry the outside, do not charge it and do not force it on. Even without touch, a backup is often possible with voice control or a computer. Then have the device checked as soon as possible.
- Dark screen on your phone: tell the fault apart with a torch testA dark screen usually means the picture is there but the screen light is not on. If you can make out a faint picture when you shine a torch at an angle, the fault is most likely in the light circuit; if there is no picture at all, the panel or its connection should be checked.
- How long does an aftermarket screen last? What decides its lifeHow long an aftermarket (OEM, compatible) screen lasts cannot be given as one figure; it depends on the part quality, the panel type and how it is used. Heat, high brightness and knocks shorten its life. When choosing a screen, always ask about the part type and the difference.
- Reduce touch screen sensitivity: stop accidental touchesIf your screen picks up touches you did not mean, reducing sensitivity or adding a delay helps. Touch Accommodations on iPhone, and Touch sensitivity and Accidental touch protection on Samsung are made for this. If the screen taps by itself, it may be a fault rather than a setting.
- iPhone motherboard replacement cost: replace or repair?Many iPhone motherboard (board) faults are repaired on the board without replacing it. With a board replacement, Face ID or Touch ID may stop working because they are paired with the board, and your data does not move to the new board. So a free diagnosis comes first; we tell you the options and the price.
- iPhone screen repair price in Turkey: what decides itThe price of an iPhone screen repair in Turkey depends on the model, the screen type (OLED or LCD), the part option and any extra damage. A single price list would mislead you; send us your model on WhatsApp and we will message you the options and the price. Diagnosis is free.
- iPhone: you cannot hear the caller, or the call volume is lowIf you cannot hear the other person during iPhone calls, or they sound very quiet, the cause may be the volume, a Bluetooth connection, dirt on the earpiece or the earpiece itself. Start with a speakerphone test and you can narrow it down in minutes.
- Phone stuck in headphone mode: how to get it outIf your phone still shows the headphone icon after you unplug the headphones and no sound comes from the speaker, it is stuck in headphone mode. A restart, a Bluetooth check or cleaning the port usually solves it; after liquid contact, the port may need replacing.
- iMac will not turn on: power supply or logic board?If your iMac does not respond at all when you press the button, or the fan spins but the screen stays dark, the cause may be the power side, the display or the logic board. Start with the simple checks; the symptoms hint at which part has failed.
- PS5 HDMI port fault: no pictureIf your PS5 turns on and its light is on but the TV shows no picture, the cause is usually the cable, the TV input or the console’s HDMI port. Do the simple checks first; if the port is damaged, it needs replacing.
- iPhone charging port replacement: cost and processIf your iPhone will not charge, the cable sits loosely or it only charges at a certain angle, the charging port is usually the problem. Sometimes a simple cleaning is enough; if the port is damaged, it needs replacing. The price depends on the model and we send it on WhatsApp.
- Broken phone charging port: cost and fixesIf your phone will not charge, the cable sits loosely or it only charges at an angle, the charging port may be broken. First the cable, the adapter and dust in the port are checked; if the port is damaged, it is replaced. The price depends on the model and we send it on WhatsApp.
- Why does a phone screen press by itself?If the screen opens apps, types or scrolls without you touching it, this is called “ghost touch”. The cause is usually something simple like a screen protector, dirt or the charger; but if the touch layer is damaged, the screen needs replacing.
- Forgot your iCloud password on iPhone? Resetting your Apple Account passwordYour iCloud password is your Apple Account password. If you have an iPhone that is signed in, you can reset it from the phone in a few steps. Without a trusted device, use iforgot.apple.com or Apple’s account recovery process.
- Phone screen repair prices: how are they decided brand by brand?The price of a screen repair depends on the brand, the model and the type of damage, so a single price list would be misleading. When you send us the model and the damage on WhatsApp, we message you the options and the price for your model.
- How to tell if a phone has a motherboard faultThe motherboard is the main board that carries the phone’s processor, storage and all connections. If the phone does not turn on, keeps restarting or shows faults that remain after parts are replaced, the motherboard should be checked. Simpler causes such as the battery and screen are ruled out first.
