Thats the price my friend paid for a like-new second hand Iphone5s (UNOPENED).
Someone advised me to wait till iphone6 is out, then parts for iphone5s will be cheaper.

Bro my phone looks like new, so the internal damage can't be that bad.. sigh it could even be a slipped wire or something
I just need a real technician[U] to look at it not those "replace the whole thing" kinda people.. but where are those gem technicians!

Mayb u can look for @WimpyKid .. I think he can help u..

Thanks bro. Any other people to recommend? Thanks ya

or Apple themselves?
If I show my receipt of purchase (outside Malaysia) no local warranty..
so any one know how much they charge for proper diagnostics? at least so I know what exactly is wrong..

First of all, I would like to apologize if im on a wrong section or thread. Below are my problem.

Iphone 4s

1.only can turn on when plugged into power socket/power bank or laptop.

2. tried restoring but always comes up with "Error 21"

3. send to shop and the shop said the motherboard faulty.

Is there anyway i can save my iphone 4s now? do i need to change the motherboard? how much does it cost?

all help is very much appreciated.

hey guys,

i am not entirely sure if this has been asked before. but im looking to replace my iPhone 5 battery. the symptoms are clear that there is something faulty with it. problem still persisted even after OS update so the most logical guess would be hardware.

not sure whether machines does this. by the way, you shud know that the phone is out of warranty coverage so i will be paying for the repair.

let me know if you guys know a place to fix this issue. and also other information like: do i have to restore my phone? how long will it take? and of cos, how much is the approx cost.

thanks!

Not possible for local warranty as it wasnt purchased here. Diagnostic will usually charge between 20-80 depending where you get it done ya.

I say try changing battery first. This error usually has to do with the power supply.

What are the symptoms you are facing?

- phone gets extremely hot.
- phone dies randomly between 0-20%.
- phone drops about 20% immediately when opening certain apps
- when phone is showing (for exp) 15% battery, once plug charger it will show higher, around 25%. (but the number varies randomly)
- 100% lasts about 4-5hours (on standby)

and lately, im not sure if this is caused by the battery, my phone presses somewhere around the 'b' area of the keyboard on its own.

If problems arise just as per Font in red, then most prolly its the battery problem. But your case comes with font blue which is more likely to be motherboard problem. iPhone 5 is prone to motherboard issue. Nevertheless give a try changing battery, see if it works.

As for "ghost" press problem is the touch screen issue.

i think my also same problem, where u fix that and around what price?

Dropped you a PM

Hi guys, Iphone 5 user here... I think my camera is scratched, now whenever I take a picture with the back camera, it will have a tiny dot or dirt. I've attached a picture taken with my phone (red circle for emphasis). Please advise on what I should do, my warranty has expired.


Attached thumbnail(s)

It might be the lens problem. Lens is attached to the back housing which cannot be separated. It comes together As one.

From what I see might be either crack or stain on the lens. Try using alcohol to rub the outer lens see if it works

I think it's crack..... If I want to fix it how much would it cost me?

Thanks for your reply. Yes I don't want to "claim warranty", I will pay for the service. I simply want a real technician to examine the device and tell me whats wrong.. then if its affordable I will pay for fixing it.
Where can I get this kind of service? Thanks a lot for your time

rear camera can be within hundred to 3 hundreds depending where you get it fixed.

You can start looking here: https://forum.lowyat.net/ServicesNoticeboard

I asked most people there. Either won't see it, or say "below RM1k fixed" or ask to keep it for a week.
I'm looking for specific recommendations. Thanks

hey thanks.
im looking for a place to fix it. any recommendations? and any idea how much would it cost?

i have problem with iphone 5s network keep searching,gps also not working & overheat issue..anyone have this kind of probs?the warranty is over already and im looking for expertise to fix this. is this related to board? how much the cost for board replacement?thx

Better to send in for diagnostic first ya. Since lots of symtoms showing its hard to predict which is the problem. Most prolly is motherboard thou
