Before you send your device to us, it’s important that you do the following:

Sending your device for repair:

• Make a backup of your phone/tablet. Some repairs require all data to be deleted from the device. It’s a shame to lose all your photos and contacts, so remember to make a backup!
• Delete all codes (screen lock, etc.) if you don’t want to share them with us.
  
  
  • If you have an iPhone/iPad/MacBook, you must disable “Find My/Find Devices” on the device, otherwise, we cannot repair your device.
  • If you have an Android, you must also make sure you have logged out of your Google account.

You can read more about how to ensure your device is not locked at the bottom of the page under “Apple iOS” and “Android”. This also applies even if your device can no longer be turned on.

• If it’s a periodic fault on your device, do NOT reset your mobile. The technician needs the device’s log files to troubleshoot, and these disappear if you reset the device.

• Remember to remove any SIM cards and memory cards from the device before sending it.

Sending your device for SWAP:

Apple iOS: If you own an iPhone or iPad, first back up your data to the cloud. Then go to settings, press “Reset,” and then choose “Erase All Content and Settings.” After entering your code, the device will automatically delete all data and restart as if it were brand new.

Android: If you are using an Android device, first back up your data to the cloud and make sure your data is encrypted. This can be done by going into the security menu and activating the “Protect encrypted data” setting. Then select “Reset phone,” and the device will delete all encrypted content and restart as if it were new.

The device is now ready to be shipped.
You are always welcome to call if you have questions about your damage.
