Broken and Cracked iPad Mini Repairs

We have been getting many inquiries for iPad Mini repairs over the last few weeks. Due to the high demand and limited availability of the correct repair parts we have been cautiously approaching this repair. Currently the parts available are not the ideal replacement part for the Mini. Although they can be used with success the installation process on the Mini is different from standard iPad repairs. The repair actually requires highly skilled soldering techniques to perform correctly. While we are experts at soldering here we still feel that due to the limited availability of certain parts for the Mini we are going to try to acquire a more complete repair assembly for the Mini. We always choose to purchase higher quality parts here to ensure a quality repair.

As an interim solution until the full assembly parts become available we are offering these repairs with a two week turn-around time for repairing the Mini. This allows our level three technicians the ability to perform the repair properly using the currently available parts on the market. Hopefully this will be changing over the next few weeks, we expect to see the parts become more readily available by April 2013.

If you have any questions about the iPad Mini repair or would like to schedule a repair please feel free to contact the Repair Sharks at support@repairsharks.com or visit us at www.repairsharks.com

iPhone 5 Repairs at Repair Sharks

The iPhone 5 has been cracking just like its predecessor the 4 and 4s. Currently iPhone 5 screen repair prices haven't been very competitive. There has been high constraint on the parts keeping the costs high on front glass and LCD replacements. We have seen a slight drop in prices on the Digitizer and LCD assembly but still not enough to make it worthwhile for many customers.

If the current market mimicks the former depreciating cost of the iPhone 4 and 4S screens we should start to see declining prices on this new screen. Manufacturing of this new screen is ramping up and more iPhone 5's are becoming available on the market creating more influx of available parts. Hopefully we will see the screen prices drop to the $125-150 range over the next 4-5 months. This also poses another issue in that the iPhone 5s is also on the table for release in the next 6-8 months. Apple has done it once again as news has been published of prototype 5s models. Given Apple's track record we think this is a sure bet as a follow up to the 5. The only problem is that Apple has always had a tendency to make minor changes to their screens with each new model making it difficult for repair centers to keep up with their ever changing lineup of devices. We can probably expect the 5S to have a different bend in the cable or a notch on the connector just to make everyone's life more difficult.

If you need help with a cracked iPhone 5 the Repair Sharks are here for you. We can always replace screens on anything not covered by a warranty. We are keeping limited stock on these screens currently in order to keep our pricing very close the the current market. Give us a call if you need assistance.

Cracked or Damaged iPad 3 Repair Service

We have been completing a number of iPad 3 repairs over the last few months and getting a chance to help lots of grateful customers. We were able to survive the recent Sandy storm and have been hard at work helping many people in the local areas of New York. iPad 3 repair is similar to the iPad 2 however there are some precautions we like to take to ensure a clean repair for our customers. The metal casing seems to be just as pliable as its predecessor, the Apple iPad 2, and giving way to dents and dings much like last version.
We have handled many issues with both the two and the three. The glass seems to be the most problematic as it tends to break with just about any type of fall. We do see a share of water damaged units coming in which is a much more extensive repair process. Luckily for us we have some highly qualified technicians that can help you even in extreme conditions.
Always remember to protect your device as best as you can. Use a case and don’t throw it against hard objects. We have many funny stories about cracked iPads and iPhones you don’t want to end up with one of them.
If your iPad does happen to break we are not far away. Devices can be mailed in or walked-in to our repair center.

Long Island's Most Trusted iPhone, iPad, and iPod Repair Center

Repair Sharks has been in the business of repairing iPhone's, iPod's, iPad's, Android smartphones, Xbox 360, PS3, and portable gaming systems since 2006. Our technicians are skilled engineers with years of electronics and computer experience.

Daniel Cieslak, owner of Repair Sharks has been repairing small electronics for over 20 years. His experience in the corporate technology arena with corporations such as Cablevision, TigerDirect, Symbol Technologies, and Motorola has helped Daniel develop a wide variety of skills which has played a vital role in his development of Repair Sharks.

"The idea of Repair Sharks started in my mothers basement in 2006. We were originally called the iPod Repair Guys and have since grown and expanded our services to offer many more types of repairs. As a former training designer my goal was to help build and further a new industry in the small device repair sector. Gone are the days of old style television and radio repair. Repairs are much different from those days and the electronics emerging today are much more advanced. I worked to build a foundation that could be expanded on as new devices were released and adapt to the quickly changing market trends. It's not easy keeping up with so many devices but by keeping our shop small and dynamic we can adapt to these changes quickly to allow for new devices to be added to our service repertoire quickly and with a high level of success all while keeping our services affordable.

It has been a tough few years, the competition in this sector is growing as we expected but our reputation, experience, and skill set are hard to beat at Repair Sharks. We say, we are often imitated but never duplicated and this seems to be the case almost every time. We see a decent influx of repairs from other small shops and do-it-yourselfers that think these repairs are easy to complete after watching a few YouTube videos. We have a bunch of popular videos on YouTube but the only true way to learn the correct techniques is to work in an R&D type of environment where you are constantly trying to find solutions to new and existing problems. It also seems to be the trend to try and replicate our processes. We get a regular stream of technicians trying to gain our inside knowledge as this is to be expected with the level of work we perform."

Zack one of Repair Sharks head technicians adds; "Repair Sharks offers its services to a global audience. We have seen iPods, iPhones, and iPads from just about every country in the world. It's great to be able to help people from all different walks of life. We have gotten iPods from remote areas of Alaska and the Hawaiian islands. It's pretty cool that people trust us with their important and personal items. We have a lot of pride in our work and treat every persons device like it was our own. We get so many great referrals from our customers it's nice to go home  and feel like I made an impact in someones life each day."

Repair Sharks home base is on Long Island in New York. We refer to ourselves as RS or the Sharks. We are located in an accessible area in Nassau County. Repair Sharks offers full mail in and drop off service for any of its offered repairs. We are a short drive from the Roosevelt Field mall and Westbury Source Mall on Old Country Rd.

Repair Sharks offers the first ever Fee diagnostics program as well as Free Return Shipping with any repair. We try to make things as simple as possible for our customers and include a no hassle warranty with every repair we perform.
