Hi All,
Looking for a bit of a legal steer here. I took my iPhone to a local repair shop as it was no longer connecting to wifi/4g. After about a week they came back and said they thought it was a daughterboard issue, and advised me it would be about £150 to repair, but they'd need to send it off to their head office.
A week or so later I called them up to find out what was happening, and the guy asked me what was I planning on doing with the phone? At this point alarm bells started ringing. They told me that they'd taken the phone to pieces, replaced the daughter board, put it back together and now the phone wouldn't turn on.
I had a whinge at them and they've subsequently told me that they can replace the whole motherboard and that will (probably) fix the problem, but that's going to cost a total of £250.
The phone in question is an iPhone X 256GB so it's probably worth doing. This all happened before Xmas, and they've not come back to me. I suspect they're going to tell me that it's still dead when I call them up and ask what is going on.
Do I have any sort of comeback here? I realise there was a problem with the phone before, but at least it powered up. Surely they can't just give it back to me in a worse condition than when I handed it to them and shrug their shoulders?
