iPhone 3Gs Battery Repair & Charger Port Replacement

A common iPhone fix for any respectable iPhone repair shop is a battery replacement. The most common symptom is a short battery life; sometimes even lasting only a few hours.

iPhone 3GS Home Button Repairs & Housing Replacements

Another common repair we perform is a Home Button replacement. Often the button can look overly depressed before eventually it just stops functioning altogether or becomes intermittent. This is once again a simple fix, but can require the entire digitiser frame assembly to be replaced. We also can do housing replacements if your’s is overly damaged.

The 3Gs has a host of other buttons that can be damaged from physical knocks or from wear & tear. These include the mute, volume, and the power / sleep button. Results mean you can lose control of the sound or even worse, the iPhone wont turn on.
