Follow on Google News | Reduced iPhone 4 Screen Repair Pricing - Now Just $129Jet City Device Repair has just announced a significant reduction in the price of their full-service iPhone 4 screen repair. The price has dropped $30 to $129. That pricing includes parts, labor, and a 90 day warranty.
By: Matt McCormick "We constantly strive to find better parts at a better price," says Tom Lorimor, purchasing manager for Jet City Device Repair. "We have tried iPhone 4 screens from a variety of vendors and have finally found one that is supplying very high quality parts at a low price. The result? We get to pass our savings on to customers." While customers can buy the full iPhone 4 screen assembly on Ebay for around $70-$80 (as of the time of this writing), that price is just for the part. Once received, a customer then needs to disassemble their entire iPhone 4 remove the old screen, put the new one in, and then reassemble the phone again. "Once you've done the process a dozen times or so it becomes much easier to do," says Matt McCormick, owner and head of research and development for Jet City Device Repair. "The problem is, if you're trying to repair your own phone you only get one shot at doing it right and the iPhone 4 is far from a trivial repair. A total of 26 tiny screws need to be removed, 7 different components have to come out (like the camera, vibrator, etc), and then the old, cracked screen has to be removed. It takes our professional technicians about 25-30 minutes to do this repair. An individual at home can expect at least a couple of hours." Mr. McCormick is correct about the repair process. There are a number of videos on the web that show how to pull apart your iPhone 4. A simple Google search for "iPhone 4 take apart video" will reveal a variety of results. Watching the videos can range from a bit scary to an electronics repair expert to downright terrifying to someone that loves their iPhone and whose only electronic repair is replacing the batteries in a remote control. If the repair doesn't go right, it not only means losing the $70 for the new screen assembly, but maybe even another $400-$500 for a new iPhone 4.
