How We Diagnose Your Phone Before Replacing Parts
Here's how we look at your phone before any part gets replaced. Meet Steve, the owner of Franchitti's Fix.
🛰️ Electronics Basics Come First
Every repair starts with the basics of electronics. Power, signals, and connections all have to work together.
Knowing how electronics work, not just how to swap parts, is what finds the real problem.
🔍 Find the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
A phone that won't charge might have a dirty port, a bad cable, a worn battery, or a damaged port. Swapping the wrong part wastes your money.
So we test first. We check what's really wrong, then explain it in plain words before any repair.
🧪 How We Diagnose Your Phone
- We listen to what happened and what you've noticed.
- We test the basics: power, charging, screen, touch, and buttons.
- We narrow it down to the part or problem that's causing it.
- We tell you the options and the price before we start.
Diagnostics are free with any repair. Our iPhone diagnostics guide shows some of the warning signs we look for.
