The work I see from other repair shops around me never ceases to me. The lack of concern for customer devices for the money some of these other places charge??? This is a screen replacement on an iPhone XR. There are 13 screws to remove to perform this repair. A previous shop put 5 of those screws back in the wrong place and 1 screw is missing completely. Putting the incorrect screws in the wrong place can cause long screw damage or the screw can easily come loose because it doesn’t fit properly. Long screw damage can happen because the incorrect screw in the wrong place is longer than the correct screw and the canal it screws into. The screw can go beyond the canal and into the board which can sever trace lines and connections within a board circuit. Long screw damage can cause severe and potentially unrecoverable damage to a device board. If a screw were to become loose or fall out of an incorrect canal, it could puncture the battery or wedge itself in a place where damage can happen easier. iRepair cares. Other places don’t seem to as much. I see things like this several times a month. Just want to try bringing awareness to customers that some repair shops do things because they’re sloppy, not properly trained, or think it won’t matter because they’re sloppy customer won’t see it.
