Ouch, you just dropped your iPhone for what seems like the millionth time. You pick it up hoping, yea praying, that once again the screen is not cracked. You turn it over and terror fills your soul because it looks like a tiny spider has crawled inside and spun a web. But it's not a spider web your iPhone screen is CRACKED - WHAT NOW? Your first inclination will be to go back to the place you purchased it from - The Apple store, AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy, T-Mobile, Target, Costco, etc. Don't! These are RETAIL stores that sell billions of dollars of goods - in the case of Apple $265 billion in annual sales just last year. There job as a company, in duty to their shareholders, is to increase sales. So what do you think is the first thing they will try to do? (hint: you're going to walk by lots of them as you walk into the store). You got it, they are going to try to get you to buy a new phone.  All these shiny new iPhone's are like kitties at the pet st...

Okay, let's not call it a comeback but after not posting anything here for a little over two years I've decided to start posting about tech/cell phone repair again. Yea me!

A lot more, in fact READERS : What happened to that repair business you started back in 2010? Didn't you have something like 10 locations in the DMV area?

Worked for a couple of repair companies and consulted with a few more. Now I'm consulting with repair companies and startups. Searching for the Next Big Thing! READERS : Cool... and what does that mean to us? ...

For the past five years I have worked hard to help people get their phones fixed. I've seen it all. I've comforted many lost souls wondering around in a state of shock from the recent damage to their beloved electronics. But I have NEVER been a customer of WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair - that is until today:-( My recently turned five year old daughter was riding a big girl bike for the first time and I wanted  to get it on film. So I got out my handy-dandy 12 mega pixel Nokia N8 and started to film. As I adjust the phone in my hands to zoom-in it slipped from my grasp - in slow motion mind you - and fell to the concrete steps below... my heart sunk as I looked at the front glass. My Cracked Nokia N8 Mind you I have dropped it many times and it had not broken. Oh, and Nokia was kind to install Gorilla-Glass to be sure it was stronger than your average phone (see iPhone).
