Stuck between a rock and a hard place - A harsh reality about YouTube & me
It seems that show casing one's expertise in motherboard repair on You Tube whilst increasing reputation seems to have a backlash effect i.e. attracts an unproportionate level of damn difficult repairs.
You also seemed to confirm this with a comment…..
"What I've learned is that mail-in microsoldering is over, and that is what is best for the world. Local people should be going to their local microsolderer and getting same day audio ic done just like a screen change. We are definitely shifting our focus to our local market, and as sad as it is that few people send us viable mail in repairs anymore,we are going to have a heck of a lot of fun making friends with our local competition. "
Three years later I noticed that you still offer mail in board repair on your website. What is your view on Mail In Board Repair vs walk ins now days, particularly with the no contact situation presented by covid. over the past two years? Has ipads rehabs percentage breakup of business between walk ins, mail ins changed with covid? Curiously I also noticed that your most common repairs in 2021 are as the same for previous years - signature failure problems with the iphone 6 and the iphone 7. I find this odd(and alarming) I would have hoped it would have shifted to more recent models like the iphone 8, iphone x, iphone XS that might attract higher repair fees? What are your views today?
