I remember it like it was yesterday -- and at one of the thousands of tech repair shops around the country it was yesterday -- I got a call in my office that one of my good friends from church was down at the repair shop and he was super upset. My tech told me he was frantic and needed to talk to me directly. I was in a meeting with my warehouse staff but I jumped up from my desk and headed down to the shop. On the way I wondered what was wrong. Had someone in our small group been injured? Maybe one of my family members were hurt? Was it another fundraising campaign for the new church building? What could be so important??? I hugged my good friend as I met him in the shop and asked him what was wrong. With tears in his eyes he said, "I really hope you can help Rob." I thought for sure that someone had died.  He slowly lifted a beach bag and emptied four *almost* brand new iPhone's on the counter next to a couple of sea shells along with a little sand mixed-in.

Cracked iPod Touch Repair

Here at WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair we get asked (everyday) what we can and cannot fix. I like to say if it fits in your pocket we can fix it. That includes the iPod Touch 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Gen! Screen repair for these devices is common and under $100 in each case. Most of the time we can make the repair while you wait or drop it off and pick it up later if you prefer. Oh, and did I mention, you can ship it too  for fast one day turn around. So next time you drop your iPod Touch and the screen breaks, here is what you do: Stay Calm. It's an iPod Touch, not the end of the world. Bring it to one of our local shops OR ship it to us quickly, but don't break any laws. Have it repaired by one of our expert techs with a brand new screen while you wait OR next day delivery -- again stay calm it won't be long now! Retrive your iPod Touch from our shop and sing for joy or jam out with the latest tunes from Adele, LMFAO, Spanky McFarlene or whatever... Thank you...

Cell Phone Liquid Damage - Tips to Prevent it

WARNING : If your cell phone has gotten wet, stop and take out the battery NOW!! Seriously, take the battery out now and step away from the phone! Bring it into our repair shop ASAP - we can save it. OK, now enjoy the post and I hope you learn a thing or two to prevent damaging your cell phone. Liquid damage is a funny thing. I had customer once who had the tide come in and completely submerse the phone in saltwater (not good). Our shop was able to recover the phone and bring it back to life. Then there was the guy who got one drop of rain in an exposed charge port and it fried the motherboard (really bad). So you never know what will happen when you phone gets wet. Best advice is to NOT get your phone wet (I know, easier said than done). Second best advice is to send it to LIQUIPEL and have them coat your phone with a pretty cool nano-tech to help prevent it from ever getting damaged by liquid - it really works! Here are few cheap tips to avoid getting liqui...
