TO BE HONEST ::

I dont think its fair, hs pays 200 for a 8gb phone, it was 16 gb to begin with .

U are responsible for the phone. Dont come out with all that, accelerate the problem and what not.

This is a known fact, when I pass you an item, which has a working touch screen, I expect it to come back with a working touch screen..

All your excuses are void, because it STOPPED working in YOUR HANDS.

200 for the return of a working 8 gb is UNACCEPTABLE.

200 for the return of a working 16 GB is ACCEPTABLE.

** For one, you didnt document it, pictures of the so called water damage? I agree with TS, u may have fabricated it yourself.

Though, I believe you are a person of integrity and it may be true, but this problem cannot be fixed by throwing the blame.

You as a technician are held responsible unless you can prove without a doubt.. which you should have done with the ts when u met up with him, open up the iphone and check the internals.

Just give the ts back a working phone, and take it as a lesson.

Anymore arguing will only affect ur reputation as a trusted iphone technician

The insults aside, because I can understand his frustration. (Not justifying the swearing though)

You are being biased. Look at it from a Client - Technician aspect.

When the client passed the phone to the technician, everything but the ear piece was working.

Now the technician want to pass back a non working iphone to the client.

Instead of agreeing to fix the problem, he wants to charge more money and give back a 8gb iphone from the 16 which was originally given to him.

TBH, this can be said that the technician is taking advantage, and there is nothing wrong with the 16 gb in the first place, he trying to replace a cheaper product with what he was originally given.

I dont see how this is fair.

Like you said, theres no official iPhone 2g repairer, but when the technician took it, he should have opened it up and check for this damages and showed it to the client and gave some kind of disclaimer and say, I will try to fix it, but look at this part, it looks like water damage, the phone might have some problems.

The technician didnt, and thus voided and claims he has to "damage done".

To be fair, he should take this as a lesson and give the client back a working iphone as he promised and let bygone be bygones. Let this be a lesson to the technician.

Facts .
1. When item was given to technician with so called (water damage) Iphone touch screen was still working
2. In the hands of technician, touch screen ceased to work due to (acceleration of water damage ) wtv that means.

There is no way that technician can prove it was due to client that the phone touch screen ceased to work. Therefore it is only fair, that technician take responsibility and fix the problem for free (or with an additional charge, 50 to me sounds alright) or replace the clients iphone with one of equal value and specifications.

Im trying to be fair to both side, and from the facts, this is what i deem fair to both sides.

Technician , cant just say it was due to client that the phone cant work. when the phone was passed to him, everything was working all right.

Like I said, your being biased. (So basically, if a client get angry at you, you can choose not to serve him ? and you dare say ur a service provider. Im not goin to defend ts, but thats besides the point)

I know what a logic board is, do not patronize me.

If it was my own fault that my PSP was spoilt, I will gladly pay for the repair, or purchase a new one.

But that is besides the point, you are trying to redirect the purpose of my post.

If i send the PSP to you to repair a faulty button, and you call me back and tell me, Ur psp cant start, mobo problem, probably caused by me dropping it too much.

How is that fair ? When I gave you the psp, it could turn on and work. only the button wasnt working.

Now you want to charge me to repair it ? Paying 50 bucks to me is overkill alraedy , since its added cost from what i originally paid you to do .
