Got this 14PM in today for data recovery. Burnt plastic, flux everywhere. Not fixed. Sounds like it was a good deal though 🤣

Some people simply don't care about your data as long as they can reheat it and charge you 30-50 bucks.

I wish people were not like that

If customer is willing to pay our prices I’ll take on the challenge and fortunately I was able to get their data!

I'd rather fix cars then deal with crazy phone repair customers

u/fixthisone 1d ago

Haha I’d imagine they exist everywhere but you’re right they can be stressful

u/Guidance-Still 1d ago

Customers with phone repairs are a whole different breed lol
