Well, we are now able to convert your Black iPhone 4 to a White iPhone 4 with our new White iPhone 4 Conversion Service!

YouTube Review / Testimonial

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Hey all — Happy Friday!

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk for a sec about what we’ve been up to and to show off a nice YouTube video review.

As always, there’s a lot going on out here in our little corner of Kansas City.

I was on vacation most of last week (13th-16th) but returned just in time to see a new record broken at iResQ. Believe it or not, we received more product this week than we have so far in all of 2010. That’s quite the statement, considering we historically see a little bit of a volume drop in the dog days of Summer. Not this year! Congrats to us, and thanks to all the great customers who have sent in their products for repair. We are always here for you!

Since that’s settled… on to the next item. We found out that one of our customers made a YouTube video about their experience and wanted to share it with our avid blog readers or the first-time visitor who is considering trying us out.

The customer ordered our Matte MacBook LCD Screen Repair/Replacement and was happy with his service. He also explains that Apple did not manufacture this model of MacBook with a matte screen. He talks a little about his his experience with iResQ, so if you’re on the fence and trying to decide whether to send your precious Apple product in, you can take comfort in his words.

See the video below. Thanks to our customer, uxwbill, for putting this together. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Hey Hey Hey, it’s Fat Albert.

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if you put on a few extra pounds? Maybe a few hundred extra? Well wonder no longer. One of the most entertaining apps I’ve seen in a long time is only $.99 at the app store, and it’s well worth it. It pays for itself in laughs.

Before and After Krispy Kreme

Fatbooth, from the developers of Aging Booth, takes a picture of your face and adds some rolls, a few chins, and a rosy glow so you know exactly what you’d look like if you supersized on a daily basis. It gets more entertaining still when you and your friends make faces, or have exaggerated accessories like big glasses or creepy mustaches. Try it, I dare you. Anyway, I’m going to humble myself for a moment and show you my results:

Yikes.

Eww. Well, now I have tangible motivation to keep running and stay in shape.

In other Apple news, the relationship with AT&T is still a little rocky. Apple engineers are under a bit of fire from hundreds of thousands of Verizon customers who are clamoring for an iPhone of their own, which may come as early as first quarter next year if the rumors are true. Then again, the rumors probably aren’t true, as Apple has complained about the stability of the network and then decided to stay with AT&T for the last three years. Also, engadget.com has some updates on the new WiFi trackpad device that Apple should be launching by the end of this year. Looks like the FCC says GO.

Well, stay tuned to Apple news- now that the reception issue is “solved,” at least temporarily, they’re going to be busy shipping bumpers for the next few weeks. But if your iPhone 4 is flat-out broken, go ahead and send it to us and we’ll take care of you. Until next time.

iPhone 4 Repairs Are A Rollin’

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Well, the iPhone 4 has been out since late June amidst some controversy regarding the iPhone 4’s reception issues. However unfortunate this is, I personally am VERY VERY impressed with the iPhone 4. I have yet to get one (my contract is not due to expire soon), but I am yearning for one. The thing about the iPhone 4 that impresses me the most is the HD video camera. I’ve had quite a bit of time to tinker with a fellow employee’s iPhone 4 and I must say, the video that you can take with this phone is incredible. For me, its worth the price of admission. I was always looking into getting an HD video camera (yes, as far as this goes, I am behind the times), and what better than to have an HD camera in your phone?

Moving on, it’s only been about a month since the release of the iPhone 4, and despite the stronger glass, the iPhone 4 is still susceptible to breaking. I mean, nothing is indestructible, even Superman was killed by Doomsday back in 1992. And so, we have seen quite a few iPhone 4’s come in for repair. Below you will see a repaired iPhone 4 next to its broken screen assembly thanks to our superstar tech, Jesse. Just click on the image for a higher resolution image.

Needless to say, we are set and ready to fix your broken iPhone 4 screens should you have the misfortune of breaking the screen, or anything else for that matter.

Well, that’s all I have for now. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Rumor: New MacBook Air Is Coming

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Hello there Back Office Blog fans! I hope all is well with you out there. Well, we have been repairing a TON of MacBooks lately. It seems like just about everybody that owns an Apple computer has a MacBook. And I don’t blame ‘em. I’ve got one myself and I love it. I have had my MacBook for just about 4 years now and have had nothing go wrong with it (knock on wood). I haven’t had to do much with it to keep it running smoothly either. Imagine that, I have had the computer for about 4 years now and haven’t needed to re-install the operating system. I remember back in the day when I owned a PC and had to reinstall Windows at least once a year….and I took care of my PC; always had the latest antivirus and spyware software installed and updated. It just seemed like the OS would eventually just go bad. Don’t get me wrong, I think Windows is a great OS, its just not for me. And I can’t speak for the newer Window’s OS’s (Vista and 7) because I have been strictly Mac for a long time now. But, I digress. Im here to talk to you about a couple of pretty cool things here in Apple land.

First off, according to this article from Crunch Gear, rumors are that Apple will be releasing a new and improved MacBook Air. The article mentions that the MacBook Air Display will likely shrink down to 11.6 inches. Wow. The smallest Apple Notebook is getting even smaller. I guess this is in line with the current netbook craze. A lot of people want tiny computers these days. Boy, we have come a long way with computers. Take a look at this vintage gem:

Next, we have a deal for you! As I mentioned before, we are repairing more MacBooks than ever. So we stocked up on parts for some of the more popular repairs. Screens, top cases (keyboards), and bezels. Whats that? Don’t know what the bezel is? Well, take a look at the screenshot below.

The bezel is the the plastic “border”, if you will, around the screen. This part tends to break pretty easily, and when it breaks or cracks it looks bad. So, we are offering a special price for this repair. We have lowered the MacBook bezel screen repair price to $29 from $49. If you have a cracked or broken bezel, now is the perfect time to get it repaired before school starts. And if you are in a crunch for time, no worries, we will have your MacBook repaired and shipped out to you the same day we receive it.

Additionally, check out some of our customer testimonials here on our site or here in Google. We take pride in our customer service and these reviews attest to that. We know its frustrating when you break your beloved Apple device so we make things as easy, informative, and quick as possible.

Well, thats all I have for now. I hope everyone out there has a wonderful day!

Cheers,
