About a year ago I switched service providers and got a new phone, a nice little Samsung. It worked well and thanks to the industrial strength phone protector evaded injury and scratches for a whole year (not a small feat). However, recently the touch screen experienced long delays and it finally gave up the ghost.
With my screen dead I could not call or txt, very frustrating because I was still looking for work at the time. We called our phone company only to find out they could do nothing. We could buy a new phone (which is a lot even for the simplest ones) or send it to them for repairs at a VERY high cost. I was stuck between an expensive rock and a more expensive hard place.
My husband began searching the internet for other phones and more info. As it turns out this little Samsung model now has a very high incident of the touch screens, or digitizers going kaput. I had a lemon….
The upside was that nifty techy people had posted many a you tube video with instructions for replacing the broken pieces. Good news, even better news was that they were cheap compared to buying a new phone. We ended up getting a new digitizer and touch screen from an online supply place.
The incredible man then set about fixing my poor broken phone. In he process the antenna wire was damaged. It turns out you can not order them offline, but you can find someone on craigslist who is selling their old broken phone for cheap! So he managed to figure out how to fix the phone and saved us a chunk of money
Finally it works again!!!
Now I just need everyone’s phone number again….
