Quick overview: phone repair you can trust
If you need reliable phone repair in Lake Forest, Fixit Solutions Inc. offers professional screen replacement, battery swaps, charging-port repairs, liquid-damage inspection and data recovery for iPhone and Android devices. We diagnose problems clearly, explain your options, and provide a written estimate before any authorized work begins.
Our most common phone repair services
- Screen repair: cracked glass, touch issues, display replacement and calibration.
- Battery replacement: reduced runtime, unexpected shutdowns and swollen batteries.
- Charging-port repair: loose or nonโcharging ports, corrosion, and connector replacement.
- Water and liquid damage inspection: corrosion assessment, cleaning, and component replacement.
- Camera, speaker & microphone repairs: distorted audio, blurred photos, or nonfunctional cameras.
- Data recovery & backup: extracting photos, contacts and messages from damaged phones when possible.
What to expect when you bring a phone to us
When you arrive at our Lake Forest location we perform a noโcharge visual inspection and basic diagnostic testing. For most common repairs weโll give an initial estimate and an expected turnaround time. Final pricing depends on the device model, parts availability, and the complexity of the repairโif additional work is needed we wonโt proceed without your authorization.
Typical turnaround
- Screen and battery repairs: often sameโday or next business day (parts-dependent).
- Charging-port, camera, and board-level repairs: 1โ3 business days on average.
- Water damage and data recovery: time varies based on extent of corrosion and parts needed; we provide an estimate after inspection.
Quick troubleshooting you can try before visiting
These steps can sometimes identify or temporarily mitigate a problem, but theyโre not a substitute for professional repair when hardware is damaged.
- Cracked screen but touch works: back up your data immediately (see data backup below) and avoid pressing the cracked glass to reduce further damage.
- Phone wonโt charge: check the cable and adapter with another device and gently inspect the port for lint or debrisโdonโt force objects into the port.
- Phone gets hot or shuts down: remove it from heat, close heavy apps, and seek a battery diagnostic if the issue persists.
- Phone exposed to liquid: power it off, remove any case and the SIM card if accessible, and avoid charging the device. Do not put the phone in riceโstore it in a dry place and bring it in for inspection. (
Water-damaged phones: what we do (and what you should not do)
Liquid contact can cause corrosion that appears hours or days after exposure. We begin with a careful inspection and use controlled cleaning and drying methods, then test individual components to determine what needs replacement. For saltwater, soda, or chlorinated water incidents we recommend bringing the device in quicklyโresidue can accelerate corrosion and damage internal contacts.
Apple and other manufacturers advise against home remedies such as stuffing a phone in rice; those methods can trap particulate matter and do not reliably remove moisture. If your phone was exposed to liquid, avoid charging it until it is inspected. (
Protecting your data before repair
Back up your phone whenever possible before repair. If you plan to trade in, sell, or hand over a device, delete personal information and sign out of accounts. The Federal Trade Commission has a clear checklist for removing personal data and preparing a device for service or resaleโfollow those steps when you can. If your phone is damaged and wonโt boot, weโll discuss data-recovery options during the diagnostic. (
Backup options
- iPhone: use iCloud backup or a local computer backup via Finder/iTunes.
- Android: use Google Backup or a manufacturer-provided backup tool; many apps also allow exporting contacts and photos.
- If backup is not possible, ask us about secure data-recovery servicesโrecovery success varies by device condition.
How we price and why estimates can change
Transparent pricing starts with a diagnostic. The main factors that influence cost are the specific device model, whether OEM-equivalent parts are available, the repair type (screen, battery, board-level) and if additional components are affected (for example, liquid damage often increases labor and parts). We provide a written estimate and contact you if anything changes during repair.
Choosing a repair shop: questions to ask
- Do you perform an on-site diagnostic and provide a written estimate?
- What parts do you use (OEM, OEM-equivalent) and is there a warranty on the repair?
- Can you preserve or help recover data if the phone wonโt boot?
- Are repairs performed on-site by certified technicians or sent to a third party?
At Fixit Solutions we answer these questions during the inspection and document the estimated cost and expected completion time before work begins.

Limitations and important notes
We provide honest diagnostics and realistic repair options, but not all devices are repairableโparticularly devices with extensive corrosion or severe board damage. Manufacturer warranties may exclude liquid and accidental damage; if your device is still under warranty or covered by manufacturer repair programs, we can help you evaluate those options. We never perform work without your written authorization.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical screen repair take?
Most screen repairs are completed same day if parts are in stock; otherwise turnaround is usually next business day. Weโll give a specific time when we provide the estimate.
Will fixing my screen void the manufacturer warranty?
Manufacturer warranties often exclude thirdโparty repairs and accidental or liquid damage; check your warranty terms or ask us to review your options before you proceed. If your device is still under a manufacturer program we can help you understand whether an authorized repair is required. (
Can you recover photos from a phone that wonโt turn on?
Possibly. Recovery depends on whether the phoneโs storage and key components are intact. We perform a diagnostic to determine recovery options and provide an estimateโsuccess varies by device condition.
What should I do if my phone got wet right now?
Power it off, remove any case and SIM card if possible, do not charge it, and bring it in for inspection. Avoid home remedies that could push debris into ports; professional cleaning reduces corrosion risk. (
How do I remove my personal information before repair or resale?
If the device boots, back it up and follow manufacturer guidance to sign out and perform a factory reset. If the device wonโt boot, weโll discuss secure recovery and options; the FTC has stepโbyโstep guidance about removing personal information before you sell or recycle a phone. (
