A slew of articles have emerged recently regarding the after effects of exploding or over-heating smart phones. One burned down a house. One electrocuted a woman to death. Now, one exploded and sent a lady to the hospital.
(This is not to exclude the many cases that occur without even being reported...)
THIS is why I do what I do, and that is, repair electronic devices. A lot of these incidents happened because either a person dropped their phone and it began to overheat, or the glass got cracked and it gradually got worse, or maybe the phone truly was lemon...either way-
The point is this, technology exist to "help" us. If you notice your device doing something strange, investigate it! We cannot fully take advantage of tech if we don't take the time to maintenance it, diagnose it, recycle it, repair it, etc. I repair tech mostly because I realize people need help doing this and in helping them they can get the most out of their smartphone, tablet, computer, gaming console...
In a safe manner.
So if you're walking around with a cracked phone screen, or your computer or tablet doesn't work, or your smartphone gets hot please feel free to contact me. My prices are competitive, but whether you go through me or someone else, don't let price be the reason you don't get your broken things fixed.
Sell it, trash it, get it fixed, buy a new one.
Make sure the threat of your broken device harming you or others around you is neutralized.
Don't continue to use your broken electronics nonchalantly: it's a serious hazard.
I included the story of the iPhone 5 exploding in that lady's eye below:

At the end of the day be safe, be smart. I realize some situations can't be helped, but most of the time we walk around with broken phones, tablets, etc without a clue as to how much more at risk we are to accidental injuries (and in some cases fatality).
User error is no excuse for endangering yourselves and those around you.
