Another long and packed week at work is finally over.
And lately, I’m seeing the same thing way too often:
Phones coming in absolutely COOKED.
I mean melted connectors, burned sub boards, damaged motherboards… phones that were probably not that far from becoming a much bigger problem.
And there’s almost always one common denominator: Cheap, low-quality chargers.
This customer got lucky. He noticed the back of the phone was literally starting to melt and unplugged it immediately.
Charging connector burned. Sub-board cooked.
Motherboard took the hit.
A bit of work later, phone saved, but more importantly, data saved.
Meanwhile I probably absorbed my weekly dose of lead fixing it 😂 so please, stop saving a few bucks on chargers.
For my health… but especially for yours. A charger is cheaper than a phone. And definitely cheaper than a house 🔥
