Why Is My Screen Glitching or Unresponsive?

The most common reason customers visit our Rochester location is display damage. However, not all screen issues are the same. You might have a spiderweb crack across the glass, but the image is fine. Or, you might have a pristine glass surface, but the display underneath is bleeding black ink or showing green lines.

We handle repairs for various display technologies, from the LCD panels found on budget-friendly Motorola and LG phones to the high-end OLED screens on flagship devices. Our technicians assess the damage to determine if you need a simple glass swap or a full display assembly replacement. We aim to restore the touch sensitivity and color vibrancy you rely on for streaming, scrolling, and texting.

Dealing with Battery Drain in Minnesota Winters

Residents of Rochester know that our winters are tough. When the temperature drops well below freezing, lithium-ion batteries struggle. You might notice your phone shutting down even when it says it has 30% power left, or draining rapidly during a short walk from the parking lot to the Apache Mall entrance.

Chemical degradation is natural for all cell phone batteries over time. If you find yourself tethered to a wall charger or carrying a power bank everywhere you go, it is time for a change. We stock high-quality batteries for a vast array of makes and models. By installing a fresh power cell, we can rejuvenate your device, giving you back the freedom to go all day on a single charge.

Charging Port Issues: Is It Lint or Hardware?

A phone that won't charge is a paperweight. Often, the issue is not the battery, but the physical connection. We frequently see charging ports packed with pocket lint, dust, and debris. This creates a barrier that prevents the cable from making contact.

At The FIX in Rochester, MN 55902, we start with a safe, professional cleaning. If that doesn't solve the issue, we look for hardware damage. Constant plugging and unplugging can wear out the internal pins or break the solder joints connecting the port to the motherboard. We perform precise microsoldering repairs to replace damaged USB-C, Micro-USB, and Lightning ports, ensuring a solid, consistent power flow.

Support for "Other" Brands (OnePlus, Motorola, LG)

While many shops focus only on the most popular models, we understand that variety exists. Maybe you love the clean software of a OnePlus, the durability of a rugged Kyocera, or the value of a Motorola G-series. Finding parts and expertise for these devices can be challenging in a smaller market.

We strive to be the most inclusive repair center in Rochester. Our supply chain allows us to source components for less common brands. Our technicians understand the different internal architectures—from the adhesive used on the back panels to the specific screw types. We treat your device with the same level of care and expertise as any flagship model.

Water Damage Recovery: Acting Fast

Did your phone slip into the sink, or fall into a snowbank? Liquid damage is the enemy of electronics. Corrosion can begin forming on the motherboard within hours.

If your phone gets wet, do not try to charge it. Bring it to our Apache Mall location immediately. We perform a specialized chemical cleaning process. We disassemble the phone, scrub the motherboard to remove mineral deposits and corrosion, and test individual components. While we cannot save every device, our professional intervention gives your phone the best possible chance of survival, potentially saving your photos and contacts.
