iPhone Repair Experiences

[brotherother]

Hi
 
Does anyone have any experience with getting their iPhone fixed in Chiang Mai?
 
Ideally I'd like to know what kind of costs to expect, specifically for replacing an iPhone 6 battery and also replacing the charging port.
 
Many thanks

If you take it to the Apple repair center in Central Airport Plaza, you will pay a king's ransom, and have to wait several days. But... you will get a genuine Apple never-used-before battery. If I remember correctly, they were asking 2,500 baht to change the battery in my iPhone.

 

So I went to one of those ubiquitous phone kiosks that fill the various hallways and corridors and had it changed for about 250 baht. But... the battery was a reconditioned one. Still, in all, it worked perfectly, and lasted another few years.

 

When I bought my iPhone 6s (used,) I went on-line and bought a new never-used battery to keep on hand. Now, when my phone needs it, I'll take it to a kiosk, and ask them to change it, offering 150-200 baht for the five-minute job. Money well spent.

Phone repair kiosks in Central Festival. 1000 baht for new non-apple branded battery. Takes 5-10 minutes.

Not sure about the charging port but I know mine wasn't working until I took a safety pin and carefully picked out all the lint that had accumulated inside it after a couple of years in my pocket. Maybe give that a try first?

Use a wood toothpick - any metal object could short it out...

Some good info.

 

Thanks people.

Blow into it - hard, or use some compressed air (lightly). Apply some electrical contact cleaner to the connector on the charger cable and insert several times (of course unplug the charger)
