ComputerGuy Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Opening laptops takes quite a bit of practice, and a few broken parts, before anyone gets good at it. Opening cell phones is even trickier, requiring blow dryers, spudgers, picks and patience. I got a replacement screen and connectors for my Pixel phone, but the repair video is daunting. Worse, they didn't supply the adhesive for putting it back together. So I went to the two big cell phone stores on the main drag in Chapala, but neither has a technician that can handle the work. Before I end up sending it off into the dark bowels of Guadalajara for who knows how long, I'm wondering if anyone here has found a guy locally.

ComputerGuy Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thanks, folks. Seems my Inbox was full. I've cleaned that up. Natasha, because of that, I didn't get a message from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 The guy at Computerland in Riberas works on cell phones. I bought a reconditioned phone from him and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bennos changed the battery in my wife's IPhone 6. I believe that involved removing and replacing the screen. Works great since the repair 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Try the cell phone repair shop directly across from Coppell in Chapala. The technicion there has successfully repaired several of our phones. The guy also recently repaired the display on a Samsung that had been dropped. We have had good luck with him so far.

ComputerGuy Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 That's one of the two shops I was turned away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well, you said "the two big cell phone stores in Chapala", I know which ones they are. There are two, kind of large ones, a few doors down from each other. The reparaciones de celulares is actually fairly small and is on the corner, directly across from Coppel. The other two larger ones are a block down, opposite the bus station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yes, and my thanks. I wonder if you could try messaging me again to see if I was able to fix the mailbox problem. Only had 18 PMs in there, but cleaned them all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Dayum. Okay, thanks, I will have to dig deeper. UPDATE: I am receiving PMs from other members just fine. BTW, I did find a guy, thanks. (The fellow across from the Coppel store was unable to help.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
