A little Chassis swap on an iPhone 8+.

A rather tricky job today.

The client complained their laptop was going blank, freezing and generally not behaving when moved.
It turns out it was 2 loose pins on the RAM slot connector.
A bit fiddly but easy enough to fix.

Please be aware that, being with O2, I am having trouble making and receiving phone calls etc at this time.
Normal phone service is expected to return on, or before, Wednesday.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

It has been a fun week off with the kids.
Back to work properly Monday.

I am still available if required. And free consultations as always.

I know i neglect to post on here as often as I should.

But. Just completed this little job.

All went well. It has also been cleaned so it's safe. And I have left the plastic on the digitiser for extra safety. That way the owner can remove it and use it immediately. Secure in the knowledge that it is completely risk free.

I am not a hateful person. But I get very annoyed about ransomware scammers. And scammers in general.

It is upsetting to have a client contact me, almost in tears, because of what some heartless money grabbing crook has done to them, and/or their computer.

Thankfully most such scammers are amateurish fools that don't really know what they are doing. So saving the computer, and reversing the damage is usually possible.

If you use your computer for everything, and don't keep at least 3 regular backups, then please educate yourself on the red flags of ransomware.

Companies will not phone you and ask you to download and install software that will give the access to your computer.
And they will not guide you through entering code into command prompt.

If anyone does such a thing hang up immediately.
If you installed the software then turn off you computer as soon as possible after you realise and contact someone that can help recover you device, before it is too late.

The trauma of being conned is often a lot worse than the con itself. And will stay with you for a long time after. Protect yourself. Knowledge is power.
