Had to argue with the previous owner as on moving day they were taking out the American style fridge freezer which was on the contents list, they were going to leave us with a cheap one and somehow didn't see a problem with it! They also left their sister's gravestone in the back garden!

It was a paid repair, Apple do a fixed price battery change.

Yep, just waiting for the insurance to reimburse me, I'm guessing they're not going to be in a hurry about it!

Yep, straight swap for another 8 plus. Was hoping for a cheeky upgrade but no biggie.

Havn't got any at the moment, but it was a few coats with wet and dry between. Ended up a fair bit of work but the finish is silky.

Nice, I used the Rustoleum satin black spray on mine.

Going in to the Apple store on Friday to see what the best they can do for me in the way for repair/replace. I could really do without being without my phone for a long period while it's being repaired!

Hopefully the final post in this saga, my insurance company have agreed for it to be fixed at Apple including replacing all the third party parts their preferred repairer put on it!

The repairer has stated that the parts are OEM as they are the same as Apple use, although they don't have Apple logos on them i.e. straight from the manufacturer and not through Apple. Alpherah, do you think that if the phone was sent to Apple for repair they would just scrap it and charge me...

I'm waiting for a call back from the insurance. The repairer wants to have another go but I have lost faith in them doing a good job or using the right parts. But I doubt if I'm going to be able to leverage a repair at an apple authorised dealer. Odd thing is that the repairer states that they...

I had a leaking heat exchanger last year. Drained the boiler, removed the heat exchanger and replaced the o rings (flushed the heat exchanger while it was off) put it back together and it's been find since. If you're not happy with the first opinion, get a second plumber in.

Yes, the rear enclosure was cracked as well and they replaced it.

From looking at the repair company website they say that their technicians are apple certified and use genuine OEM parts, but I cannot find them on the Apple website as being an authorised supplier.

Follow up for those who are interested, my insurer wants me to send my phone back to their preferred repairer for warranty repair. I've lost faith in these lot as they have proven themselves to do a bad job. I'm going to get back to them in the morning to reject that course of action as I cannot...

You can switch it on by plugging it in to a powered connector. I assume they did this to run diagnostics.

It’s an 8 plus. It was sent to my insurance’s repairer in December last year when it fell out of a jacket pocket and smashed the screen. The screen was replaced and it was working well. When Apple replaced the battery the side sleep/wake button stopped working. I suppose that it’s probably...

They said they don't test the on/off button. What confuses me is that they still went ahead with the battery replacement knowing that it was a third party screen, but didn't tell be beforehand that if it bricks, it's not their responsibility.

To follow up on this, I took it to the store today to be told that although the phone ran through their diagnostic process ok after the new battery was fitted, they will not be responsible for any further work to repair it as when it was repaired last year on insurance, the company used third...

Hello all, Took my phone in for a battery change as it was showing 51%. This was done this afternoon. When I got home and used the phone I've noticed that the power button does not work. Do you think there will be any push back from the store when I go in tomorrow? Are they going to blame me for...

Yes, I've not got LAN round the house. Would need Wifi.
