Wowwy! What an iPad!

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

There’s not much for me to say here. Just take a look at this iPad that was sent to us for one of our Free iPad Diagnostic Services. Of all the iPads we have repaired since its release, nothing even comes close to the damage inflicted on this iPad. It looks like it was put on the racetrack here at Kansas Speedway and left there for an entire race! Ouch.

Luckily, after a thorough examination to determine what needs to be replaced in the iPad, one of our iPad techs was able to repair the device. We had to replace the digitizer, lcd, and backplate. Of course, this was all done within 24 hours once we received an approval on our ultra-low repair price (this was the 32GB version so the replacement price would have been $599 plus tax). The owner even allowed us to take a couple of pictures and blog about the repair. Now it looks good as new. Just take a look at repaired product below.

We are proud to show you that we can take an iPad that is in such a horrible condition and restore it to look good as new for much cheaper than it would cost to buy another iPad outright. Take a look at our iPad Repair Services to find the repair you need. And as always, while you’re here, you should check out our other repair services: iPod Repair, iPhone Repair, Apple Notebook Repair, and Sony PSP Repair. Right on.

After repairing this iPad and sending it back to the customer, we decided to give him a call to check in and see how things were going. And guess what! He told us the whole story behind this busted iPad and encouraged us to share it with the world!! So how did this iPad get broken? I figured the best way to tell this story is…..by telling a story!! Here goes:

This is a story of a man, his wife, and an iPad.

This couple took a trip down to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, and the husband, addicted to his iPad, brings it with him.

After a few nights of fun, the wife gets ticked off that her husband is constantly using the iPad. After a few, no a lot of drinks, the wife is finally fed up with her husband and begins to smash the iPad on the ceramic tile floor repeatedly then begins to jump on it over and over and over while the husband is out. Little does the husband know when he walks into the room that this is going on. Oh the horror. His wife, clearly ticked off and inebriated just destroyed his pride and joy!

Here’s the kicker, later on that night the wife decides that she wants to play with the iPad and is upset at herself because of what she just did. Oh the bitter irony.

And so the story is told. Folks, there is a lesson behind this. If your loving spouse is fed up with the amount of time you spend on the iPad, never leave it alone with them!!

So, in my friend Eric’s words, HUZAH!!!!

Till next time,

Cinco de Mayo at iResQ

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Hello all, and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Much like when General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin and the Mexican Army conquered the French in the Battle of Puebla, the iResQ staff is busy conquering the enormous stack of iPods, iPhones, and iPads that came in today. OK, that simile was a little bit of a stretch. What you really need to know is that we are in our usual “zone” and knocking those repairs out. If you have anything that needs a fix, or look, you know where to find us! And if you don’t, here’s our phone number: 888-447-3728

As Eric explained in a previous post, there’s a ton of Apple stuff going on right now. I’m not sure the old phrase, “Any publicity is good publicity” rings true in this case, but I think this company has proven they know what they’re doing–at least long term. If you’re interested, you can watch Jon Stewart’s rant about the whole missing iPhone prototype fiasco. Jon is not the only one.

Anyway, it’s Spring and that means baseball season. If you’re anywhere around Kansas City, that means Royals. If you are a Royals fan, that means another long and grueling season of losing. But guys, it wasn’t always like this! The Royals won the World Series in 1985 (and I am a Cardinals fan, and we lost to the Royals so I know). I won’t go too far into the specifics of that series, but there was a great, great player on the Royals named Willie Wilson.

I bring all this up because I went to see Pearl Jam at the Sprint Center on Monday night, and Eddie Vedder came out during one of the sets with a Willie Wilson jersey. Apparently, Vedder and Wilson are old friends.

So there you go. A little Royals history and a little rock ‘n roll. Unfortunately, my $80 tickets didn’t get me close enough to snap a decent pic with my iPhone and they didn’t allow cameras. But all in all, a really cool experience and a great show.

Once again, Happy Cinco de Mayo. If you are celebrating tonight, make sure you get home safe.

Keep sending us repairs and take it easy,

iPad Update from the Mothership

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Wow, finally some iPad news! Here are the details from Engadget, complete with pricing:  iPad Launches on April 3, Preorders Begin March 12.

There’s nothing like some exciting Apple news to start off a Friday morning. Since I’m not a coffee drinker, it really gives me that kick that I need. Our company breakfast today didn’t hurt either. Yum.

So here’s an excerpt taken from the Engadget article for those of you too scared to click the link:

“The iPad will be launching on Saturday April 3rd (and on the shelves, er… display tables at Apple retail stores), but you’ll be able to plunk down cold, hard cash for it in just a week. Pre-orders will begin on March 12th for the US version (non-3G) for that April street date, with the 3G version coming in late April”

Great stuff! You can be sure that we’ll have our hands on these babies as soon as they are available. Of course, we’ll also be repairing the iPads in case you haven’t seen the links all over our website.

Speaking of great stuff, did you know that this week marked the birthday of Alexander Graham Bell? Yep, that’s right — the man who is credited for inventing the telephone. He would have been 163 on March 3rd. I wonder what he would think about the iPhone 3GS? I wonder if he’d play “Words with Friends” against me?

Have a great weekend all, and get your pocketbooks ready to buy an iPad.
