Tips from our technicians.

📱 iPhone
How to Check Your iPhone Battery Health

Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health. Below 80% means it's time for a replacement. Below 70% and you'll notice significant slowdowns and battery drain.

💧 Water Damage
What to Do If You Drop Your Phone in Water

Power it off immediately. Do NOT put it in rice — that's a myth. Bring it to us within hours for the best chance of full recovery.

🔋 Battery
5 Signs Your Phone Battery Needs Replacing

1. Drains in hours. 2. Random shutdowns at 20%+. 3. Won't hold a charge. 4. Gets too hot. 5. Screen popping up — that's a swollen battery, bring it in immediately.

📺 Console
PS5 No Signal? It's Probably the HDMI Port

Signs: no display, flickering image, bent pins in port. HDMI port replacement is the most common PS5 repair we see — done same day.

🔌 Charging
Why Your Phone Won't Charge (And the Free Fix)

60% of charging issues are caused by lint packed into the port. We clean this for free. Bring it in before assuming the port needs full replacement.

💻 MacBook
MacBook Running Slow? It Might Be the Battery

A degraded battery causes macOS to throttle your CPU. Check: Apple menu → About This Mac → System Report → Power → Battery Condition.

🎮 Switch
Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Drift: The Permanent Fix

The only real fix is replacing the analog stick module — not Nintendo's temporary software patch. We do it for under $60, same day.

📷 Camera
Why Your Phone Camera Is Blurry

Common causes: dirty lens (clean with microfiber), cracked lens cover, failed OIS module. Most camera repairs done same day.

🛡️ Protection
The Best Way to Protect Your Phone Screen

A tempered glass screen protector + a case with raised edges = the best protection combo. Prevention is always cheaper than repair.
