brotherother Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi Does anyone have any experience with getting their iPhone fixed in Chiang Mai? Ideally I'd like to know what kind of costs to expect, specifically for replacing an iPhone 6 battery and also replacing the charging port. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 If you take it to the Apple repair center in Central Airport Plaza, you will pay a king's ransom, and have to wait several days. But... you will get a genuine Apple never-used-before battery. If I remember correctly, they were asking 2,500 baht to change the battery in my iPhone. So I went to one of those ubiquitous phone kiosks that fill the various hallways and corridors and had it changed for about 250 baht. But... the battery was a reconditioned one. Still, in all, it worked perfectly, and lasted another few years. When I bought my iPhone 6s (used,) I went on-line and bought a new never-used battery to keep on hand. Now, when my phone needs it, I'll take it to a kiosk, and ask them to change it, offering 150-200 baht for the five-minute job. Money well spent.

kilt Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Phone repair kiosks in Central Festival. 1000 baht for new non-apple branded battery. Takes 5-10 minutes. Not sure about the charging port but I know mine wasn't working until I took a safety pin and carefully picked out all the lint that had accumulated inside it after a couple of years in my pocket. Maybe give that a try first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven2018 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Blow into it - hard, or use some compressed air (lightly). Apply some electrical contact cleaner to the connector on the charger cable and insert several times (of course unplug the charger) Sent from my Lenovo TB-8304F1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
