Iphone Repair Koh Samui

[Samuikitten]

Hi all...

I have an original iPhone (2G) & I am having a problem with it (could be the battery but I don't really know)

Does anyone know of a place on Koh Samui who fixes the iPhone????????

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do not send any money on repairing an iPhone 2G. Read this, it explains in detail why 2G repair is a bad idea.

Excerpt taken from Cupertino iPhone Repair.

We do not offer 2G repairs, why?

iPhone 2G is bad architecture. The Touch glass, Digitizer and LCD is integrated into one single part. The new genuine assembly itself costs approximately $70. Now the labor is close to a hour job. So any repair shop offering to do the repair will reasonably charge you $150. This is not a problem. The battery life of 2G is ~ 3 years. So within another 6-8 months your battery is going to die out, and now you are looking at another $150 to change the battery. Again this is also a reasonable charge as the battery is soldered to the logic board. Are you willing to spend $300 on an iPhone 2G which is outdated? This does not make any business sense and that is the reason we stopped carrying 2G Parts and no longer offer the service. Just go buy yourself a new 3GS. If you got the 2G repaired by us earlier, you are still covered under the 1 Year guarantee. But we no longer undertake any new 2G repairs. Sorry.
