7 Reasons Your Phone Camera Is Black (And Restarting Won’t Fix Most of Them)
When your phone camera opens to a black screen, restarting won’t save you. This post…
A tongue-in-cheek guide to the top ways locals destroy their phones — and how we’re here to fix the mess every time.
Nothing keeps our lights on more than plain old gravity. Drop your phone once on the driveway outside Zehrs? Boom — spiderweb cracks.
For context: replacing your iPhone screen costs a couple hundred bucks. Dropping it costs you $0 upfront… but then $200+ later when you can’t see through the shattered mess.
You thought your iPhone could handle a Canadian winter? Cute. Leave it in your car overnight in -20°C, and your battery will tap out faster than a Leafs fan in April.
We do iPhone battery replacements all the time after one too many “frozen phone” episodes. Pro tip: your phone doesn’t want to be left outside any more than you do.
Barrie’s waterfront is gorgeous. It’s also where iPhones go to die. Between paddleboard selfies and dockside Instagramming, Lake Simcoe has claimed more phones than we can count.
Don’t even get us started on toilet drops. Spoiler: we see at least one a week. Good thing water damage repair is literally one of our specialties.
Give your phone to a toddler for “just one minute” and watch it turn into a projectile. We’ve seen phones bounce down basement stairs, drown in bathtubs, and even get tossed in the sandbox at Centennial Park.
If your kid’s got an arm, maybe sign them up for baseball. If they’ve got your phone? Contact us.
Ah yes, the classic. Ignore the crack long enough, and it spreads faster than gossip in a small town. Before you know it, your screen’s not just cracked — it’s cutting your thumbs.
Save yourself the band-aids. Get that screen replacement before it looks like a windshield after hail season.
Locals out in Oro-Medonte know what we mean: trail rides, dirt roads, snowmobiles, quads. All fantastic ways to spend your weekend — and all equally fantastic at murdering iPhones.
Nothing like pulling out your phone mid-ride, only for it to launch into the gravel like it’s auditioning for the X Games. If that happens, don’t worry. We’ve got your back with Oro-Medonte phone repair. We’re basically your pit crew.
Friday night at Donaleigh’s. You’re laughing, telling a story, waving your hands — and suddenly your phone’s swimming in a pint of Coors.
No, rice won’t save it. But yes, we probably can. Bring it in for water damage repair before it smells like hops forever.
YouTube makes it look easy. Ten minutes in, you’ve stripped three screws, snapped the display cable, and now your iPhone looks like an autopsy gone wrong.
DIY is fine for banana bread. For your $2,000 phone? Call us before you turn it into modern art.
