Won’t turn on
A device that will not turn on can have several causes, and the same blank screen can mean very different things. It might be the battery, the charging port, a liquid fault, the screen, or a board level issue. Because more than one fault can look identical, the honest first step is often a diagnostic rather than a guess.
If the device was exposed to liquid, do not charge it or try to power it on. That is when corrosion does the most damage. Power it off and bring it in quickly.
No light, no sound, no vibration, even on a known good charger. Several causes are possible.
It reaches the logo then restarts, again and again. This can be software or hardware.
It powers up and reboots by itself, over and over. Best confirmed with a diagnostic.
It responds but shows nothing. That often points to a screen fault rather than a dead device.
It went dark after a knock. Could be the screen, the battery, or an internal connection.
It died after contact with liquid. Treat this as liquid damage, not a simple power fault.
Most devices that will not turn on can be repaired, but the right repair depends on the cause, and several faults produce the same blank screen. A device that still vibrates or rings often has a screen fault. A dead device can be a battery, a charging port, liquid, or the board. Rather than guess, we run a diagnostic to find the real cause, and the fee is credited toward the repair if you proceed.

How diagnostics workDead or will not charge can be the battery or the charging port. Often fixable once confirmed.

A boot loop can be software or hardware, from the battery, storage or the board. It is not one single fault, so we run a diagnostic to find the real cause before any work, rather than guess.
Usually yes. If it responds but shows nothing, that often points to a screen fault rather than a dead device. We confirm with a diagnostic and then fit the right repair.
Treat it as liquid damage. Do not charge it or try to power it on, because corrosion continues inside after the outside feels dry. Power it off, keep it off, and get it treated quickly for the best chance.
For a device that will not turn on, the cost depends on the cause, which becomes clear once we run a diagnostic. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and we confirm any cost with you before further work.
