Switching your major from Computer Science to Literature is easier than putting up with a broken Macbook screen for a year of college…

- Philadelphia, PA -

Shaine emailed last night, explaining that she has been putting up with a “blue ink” problem on her black 13-inch Macbook. She cracked it about a year ago and was using it because the damage wasn’t that bad. But lately it has gotten a lot worse and one of her friends told her about us. She’s going back to school in a few weeks, and she desperately needs her Macbook to be fixed because she is writing a lot of papers these days. In fact, she just switched her major from Computer Science to Literature, so having a 50% visible screen will definitely not cut it.

We met up at the Starbucks on Germantown Ave in Chestnut Hill and a half an hour later her Macbook was back in action. Ready to write papers. Too bad they don’t write themselves…

Wawa employees need fixed iPhone screens too!

- Philadelphia, PA -

William called us this morning from South Philly. He dropped his iPhone 3GS last night and shattered the glass. He’s on vacation from his job at Wawa, so saw an opportunity to get it fixed right away. He met us at our local repair facility (my office in my apartment), dropped off his iPhone and went and got lunch. He didn’t have to drop it off, we would have done it in front of him, but he wanted to get lunch!

He came back a half an hour later and his iPhone 3GS was good to go!

The Ship-In Program qualifies for the “Second Repair is Cheaper” Guarantee…

You may remember John from Long Island. He drove in to Philadelphia to get the glass replaced on his 15-inch Macbook Pro. His son came with him, and actually, his son was the one who broke it in the first place. We replaced his glass and didn’t hear from John again until late May. He emailed us telling us that his son broke the glass again!

We told him that we would be able to provide overnight shipping for his repair, and it would only cost $200 instead of $399. For 13-inch Macbooks the second repair is $100, but for most other repairs it’s at least $200 (ask your Repair Tech for details).

We emailed him a FedEx overnight label and he shipped his Macbook Pro to us. We swapped out the glass and it looks back to new! Hopefully his son will take it easy on it this time!

“I’m absolutely terrible with technology!”…

- Philadelphia, PA -
- Via Tucson, AZ -

Sheila admits that she isn’t great with technology. She didn’t think she was bad enough to crack the LCD on her aluminum Macbook Pro, but she did! She did a little research online and found that we offered the most affordable and fastest way of getting her Macbook Pro repaired.

Once we explained the process to her, she loved it. We emailed her an overnight label and she shipped it out on Monday. We received it on Tuesday, did the repair in 2 hours, and emailed her a before and after picture to show how awesome her screen looked. We also included a PayPal payment link. Once we received payment, we overnighted the computer back to her. Did we mention that two-way overnight shipping is included for free?!

If someone else tries to fix your Macbook before we do, there may be parts missing…

- Philadelphia, PA -

Vida gave us a call last weekend about her white Macbook. She broke the screen last October(!) and has been using her desktop iMac ever since. She just landed a sweet new job in Boston, so she decided that it was finally time to get her Mac fixed. She had seen our Septa platform ads a while back, so she knew exactly who to call.

But actually, she had taken it to a local “Apple authorized repair center” in the Philadelphia area (we won’t say who) who said that they could do it. After removing the bezel (the white frame around the screen), the “repairman” removed the sleep magnet, forgot where to put it back, and decided that he couldn’t do the repair. Not knowing that the sleep magnet was removed, Vida closed the Macbook (expecting it to go to sleep) and brought the Macbook home. She gave us a call, and we came out to her apartment to do the repair.

Everything went well until we went to turn the Macbook on after the repair. The screen lit up with a gray circle with a cross through it, which means that there is something definitely wrong with the hard drive. What we think happened was that since the Macbook wasn’t truly asleep, the hard drive became damaged from the computer being moved around.

We replaced the hard drive at cost ($60) and spent a day moving all of her files from her old corrupted drive to the new 320GB drive (for free!). Needless to say, Vida was super excited to have her screen fixed, all of her files back, and her hard drive upgraded for free. What can I say, we’re kind of awesome.
