Don't have time to leave your house? We will come pick up your phone and drop it back off to you the same day.

If you are like many of us, you depend on your iPhone and take it everywhere you go. While these marvels of technology are surprisingly tough, all electronics, like anything else, do wear out and need replacement parts at some point. Perhaps your home button no longer works or a full charge on the battery no longer gets you through the day. Accidents happen too; a cracked screen or a broken rear panel may be the result. Apple provides limited warranty service on any new iPhones for a period of one year, yet the term "limited warranty" gives Apple leeway to deny your repair if they believe you have violated the warranty in any way. The good news is, there are reliable iPhone repair technicians available in the Santa Barbara, CA area that will promptly fix your phone and help you get back to your fully connected way of life.

Ready for a Battery Replacement?

An iPhone that no longer holds a charge through the day can create frustration and hassle in your life. Particularly if your iPhone is two years old or more, chances are your battery is due for a replacement. Unlike many electronics, changing the battery on an iPhone is not an ultra simple process and is best completed by a professional technician. Apple will replace a battery that is out of warranty for $79 plus a shipping and handling charge, but chances are you can have the service performed more quickly and for less money at your local Santa Barbara repair shop.

EXTEND THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR NEW BATTERY
Once you have your new battery in place, make sure to keep your phone updated (new updates contain energy saving technologies), protect your phone from heat greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, begin charging at 50% capacity and remove it from the case before charging in order to maximize the battery's lifespan. It's also a good idea to optimize your settings and activate low power mode when convenient to extend your battery's lifespan even further.

A Cracked Screen or Broken Rear Panel

One of the most common iPhone injuries is a cracked screen and obviously, you won't get much functionality out of your device until it's been repaired. It will likely cost $100 or more to get the screen replaced, but considering the cost of a new iPhone, this may be a good option for many people. After your replacement is complete, a screen protector can protect you new screen from scratches in the future.

THE REAR PANEL PROTECTS INNER COMPONENTS
Broken rear panels are another commonly seen iPhone problem and can be repaired at a lower cost than a screen replacement. It is important to promptly take your phone in if the rear panel has been damaged, as this cover protects the delicate components contained inside that are much more costly to replace than the panel itself.

My Home Button or Dock Connector Stopped Working

Dealing with a sticky home button is not a desirable experience but the good news is that this is a correctable issue. A technician at your local Santa Barbara iPhone repair shop will be required to dissemble a large percentage of your phone to replace the home button but your phone will be returned to you in fully functional condition once the repair is complete.

CAN'T GET YOUR BATTERY TO CHARGE?
Sometimes, a faulty dock connector is the component responsible for a battery that won't recharge. This connector can be replaced in a similar manner to the home button and should have you up and running again in no time.

Speaker Troubles

Speaker troubles on an iPhone are typically the result of either software or hardware issues. Check the following before bringing your device in for repair: 1) make sure you've completed any required updates, 2) turn the volume all the way up and be sure the phone is not set to "silent", 3) check for the "headphones" icon located under the volume slider, and 4) turn off Bluetooth and disconnect from all AirPlay devices. If your speakers are functional after completing steps 1, 2, or 4, you've already corrected the problem and should not need further assistance. At times, debris can become trapped in the headphone jack, leading the phone to believe that headphones are plugged into the unit. In this case, you'll see the "headphones" icon as described in step 3 and will need to have the jack cleaned for your speakers to function normally.

NO LUCK SO FAR? YOUR SPEAKERS PROBABLY NEED REPLACEMENT
Assuming none of the above corrects your speaker issues, chances are that you're in need of hardware replacements. The technicians at your local Santa Barbara iPhone repair shop will be happy to install new speakers on any model iPhone.

Damaged iSight Camera or Front Face Time Camera

A blacked out screen, blue or purple blemishes and/or lines going through the screen are indicative of damage to the iSight camera, a common problem on the iPhone 5. In some cases the iSight quits working completely or produces photos with defects other than those mentioned above. The app may also freeze upon opening or you may not be able to switch between the iSight and the front face time camera. Any of these situations warrants a trip to your local iPhone technician for replacement of the iSight camera.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH STRAIGHTFORWARD REPAIRS
Similar problems are occasionally reported with the front face time camera, with the most common symptoms being lines running through the screen or the inability to switch between the iSight and front face time cameras. Fortunately, both repairs are relatively straightforward and your technician can determine which camera needs replacement to save you money.

A Worn Out Vibration Motor

Have you noticed that your phone no longer vibrates or vibrates weakly when it rings? While this may or may not be an issue of concern for you, the vibration motor can be replaced relatively quickly. Come on in to your local Santa Barbara iPhone repair shop for an estimate.
