Tweet from twitter@iPhoneMania_jp iPhone Mania April 27, 2018 18:00 until read about 7 minutes 35 seconds When the iPhone screen is broken, do you repair it immediately? The results of a survey were announced that the people around them were unexpectedly harsh if they continued to use the device just because it worked. However, repairs take time and money. Many people will find it difficult right away. So, this time, we went to a repair shop in town where repairs can be done in a short time and at a low cost.One of the most common iPhone problems is screen cracks. Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, you probably know at least one person who is in trouble around you. In fact, AppleCare+ repair service fees are divided into two types: "screen damage only" and "other damage", and cracked screens are introduced as the top failures brought to repair shops in town. Screen cracks occur frequently like this, but some people ignore them, saying, ``I can operate even if they are cracked,'' or ``I don't mind because I'm Sumi.'' However, it seems that people around you have a bad image if you use it without repairing it while it is broken. According to the "[Questionnaire Survey] Top 10 Impressions of People Using iPhones with Cracked Screens" announced by iPhone Ambulance in April 2018,people using iPhones with cracked screens In response to /b>, 32% of respondents gave the impression that they were rough, rough, and sloppy. The next most common answer was "no money/poverty," a negative image of the economy, at 17%. These two items account for almost half of the results, but the remaining items have almost no positive impression. No matter how you look at it, it's all about negative reviews that you absolutely want to avoid in important business and romance, which is the first impression. In order to avoid receiving such evaluation, let's repair the screen if it breaks.
However, it is also true that repairing a cracked screen requires time and money. Also, Apple Stores and Apple authorized service providers are few in number nationwide, and in addition to the time it takes to get it repaired, it takes time after asking for repairs. In addition, it is necessary to consider the trouble of backing up before repair and restoring the environment after repair. The repair fee will be cheaper if you have AppleCare+, but if you do not have it or the warranty has already expired, it will be quite expensive. A local repair shop can solve these problems. There are Apple authorized service providers and non-authorized repair shops in town repair shops, but I introduced the advantages and disadvantages of each before. Among them, time wise, unofficial street repair shops have a big advantage. In addition, the repair fee for older models is cheaper than the Apple Store and Apple Authorized Service Providers.
However, since there are a wide variety of repair shops in town, it may be difficult to use them because you don't know how they are repairing or what they can do. Also, without Apple's backing, I'm worried about reliability. In order to reduce that anxiety, the first thing to check when choosing a repair shop is whether it is a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications registered repairer. If you are a registered repairer, there are rules that you must follow regarding the handling of personal information, such as the data stored on your device. It also guarantees that the repaired device complies with the technical standards of the Radio Law and the Telecommunications Business Law. Above all, it can be considered as a highly conscious repair shop because it takes time and budget to register. For more information about registered repair companies, please read the interview article "What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' registered repair company system for iPhone repairs? I asked the registered companies about the actual situation" in the interview article on iPhone Ambulance. This time, the editorial department actually interviewed a repair shop in the city and experienced "What kind of place is a repair shop in the city?" The person who cooperated with the interview was the Shinjuku head office of "iPhone Repair Specialty Store Aisapo" in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications registered repairer that appeared in the interview article earlier. This time, in addition to being able to have the repair done like a normal customer, I was able to observe the repair work, which I normally can't see, so I could actually see how the repair was done in the store. I will tell you if there is.
It's easy to apply for repairs. All you have to do is discuss the details of the problem, have your iPhone checked, and fill out an application form. After starting up and checking the exterior, you will receive an explanation about the possibility of losing Apple's warranty and the possibility of losing data. Repairers registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications need to properly explain the risks of repairs like this. It takes about 1 hour to repair a cracked screen. If you come in an hour, you will have a repaired iPhone waiting for you. Now for the repair work that you can't see. This time, we received a black iPhone 7 with a cracked screen from among the damaged terminals stocked at Aisapo Shinjuku Main Store as a repair terminal. The content of the repair is replacement of the broken screen.
First, open the iPhone screen so that you can see inside. In the video, you can see how professional techniques are used to carefully and quickly open the door using special tools. There are multiple repair staff working at the store, and each seems to have their own repair tools. I can feel the commitment of the craftsmen in this area as well. Next, remove the small screws and disassemble it into two parts, the screen side and the back side. It might seem like a good idea to put in a new screen right away in this state, but the price is kept low by reusing usable parts as much as possible, so the work of removing the parts continues.
In most cases, even if the screen is cracked, there is no problem with the various important parts such as the camera and buttons attached to the screen side. I will disassemble these while carefully removing the screws one by one. It's an important part that will be attached to the new screen. The screws are very small and it is difficult to tell the difference, so it seems difficult to put them back together if they get mixed up with the untrained eye. In fact, there have been cases where customers bought the parts themselves and started work, but they accidentally lost or lost the screws, and rushed to bring them in for repair. When the silver cover is removed, the situation is almost the same as the screen part to be replaced. The iPhone 7 this time was a terminal that had been repaired in the past, so if you look at it from the back with the cover removed, you can't tell which is new at a glance.
Once you've removed all the important parts from the cracked screen, all you have to do is replace the screen and put the removed parts back on the new screen. However, the reason it looks so easy is because professionals select and install parts without hesitation. Even while working while explaining, I do not feel uneasy at hand. It was revived to iPhone 7 with a beautiful screen in no time. Finally, wipe off any fingerprints or other dirt that may have accumulated during the work, and check that there are no problems with the touch of the screen and that there are no scratches or distortions on the main unit, and the work is complete. Since we haven't touched the data, the location of the icon on the home hasn't changed.
Although it takes more time than usual to explain and answer questions to the author who is observing, the work time is about 25 minutes. bottom. From reception to delivery, everything was completed in 40 minutes, even considering the procedure. In addition, the repair time shown at the store is 60 minutes, but it seems that this includes a margin for troubleshooting. In the case of iPhone repair, it is often not possible to contact the customer even if trouble occurs during repair. This is because the iPhone, which is the contact information of the other party, is being repaired in the store.
The impression of seeing the repair work at the repair shop is, "If you buy parts from Amazon, you may be able to repair it yourself. But I don't have the confidence to do this work without any problems. It is worth asking a repair shop as insurance in case of emergency, and considering the travel time, it would be quicker to ask." As I wrote earlier, even if you try to repair it yourself and get frustrated, you can get help. Even if a part is lost, they have many parts in stock, so they can get it from there. However, it seems that it will be more difficult than ordinary repairs, and troubles will inevitably increase. However, recently, it seems that it is rare to bring in a repair mistake. Even if you don't know exactly where the problem is, you can send it in for repair. I need to consult with you because I'm not feeling well, you can still get an estimate. I thought the screen was broken, so I sent it in for repair, but it seems that only the protective glass that was pasted later was broken. If you purchase a protective glass sold at a store, you can have it replaced at no charge. This service can be requested at the same time as the repair, so it is recommended to replace the protective glass when the screen is replaced. Of course, you can stop by after purchasing a brand new iPhone and just use it to have a protective glass applied. Even though it is a repair shop, you can feel free to use it for trouble consultation and purchase of protective glass.
We also asked about recent trends in usage. The first question is, what kind of repairs are there? about it. As in the previous article, screen repair is 60-70%, battery replacement is 20%, and water submersion is less than 10%. Other than that, it seems that there are a few connectors and button replacements. What's being brought in now is iPhone6S, about 40%, and the rest is about 30% each for iPhone6 and iPhone7. In the past, there was a tendency to move to a new model in about two years, but it has changed since the iPhone 6S, and it seems that iPhone 8 is rarely brought in recently. Regarding the iPhone X, there is also a story that the management method of the board and OS is new, and we do not accept repairs due to the high risk. Next, I asked what kind of symptoms should be brought in for repair. Then the point is
And if something goes wrong, don't leave it alone and bring it in for repair immediately. The reason for this is not only that it has a negative image, as in the first survey results, but also that iPhone 6S or later seems to perform a self-check of parts at startup. If you leave it unattended, when you reboot or update, the self-check may cause an error in the part and in the worst case, it may not start up. The shop collects new information, so even if the iPhone is not broken and the problem is caused by the updated OS, you can consult with us. That's why, by casually going to the consultation, you may be able to solve the problem without even repairing it.
The number of people who know the appeal of repair shops is increasing. The advantage of the data will not be erased during repair is great, and there are even cases where people come for repairs even if they have AppleCare+. The repeater rate is also increasing, and it seems that about 30% are repeaters now. In order to use the Aisapo Shinjuku Main Store wisely, we recommend either aiming for a weekday afternoon when it is relatively empty, or making a reservation. And when you visit, it's a good idea to leave it for at least 3 hours with plenty of time to spare. This is because there is a Relaxed Discount Plan where you can receive a 10% discount if you leave your luggage for 3 hours or more. If your workplace is close, you can drop it off during your lunch break and pick it up when you get home.
This time we had the cooperation of Aisapo Shinjuku Main Store, but there are repair shops in various towns all over the country. Each has its own color, repair menu and price are also different. iPhone Ambulance has more than 2,000 repair shops nationwide, so if you're having trouble with your broken iPhone, try looking for them. A repair shop that you want to rush to immediately when you are really in trouble. That's why being able to check store information immediately is the key to avoid falling.
