Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Generic and OEM-Grade LCD used for my iPhone 5C?

Apple iPhone original parts are not available on the market for anyone except for authorized Apple repair centers. As an independent repair shop, we use third party manufactured components for Apple iPhone repairs.
Geek Workshop offers two types of iPhone LCD screens:

  • Generic
  • OEM-Grade

Generic grade LCD is a factory manufactured copy of original Apple replacement screen. It is fully functional and compatible with Apple products. There is no difference at all regarding the touch functionality or responsiveness. Generic grade LCD, however, has one disadvantage – it has lower brightness and the colors are more saturated.

Original (OEM-Grade) LCD is a factory refurbished Apple iPhone (original one) screen, which means that the frame and the glass (the one above the polarizer and matrix) are replaced by a third party manufacturer. Screens that are offered as Original (OEM-Grade) have original Apple LCD panel and touchscreen digitizer including original apple connectors and flexes. Regardless the refurbished condition, this type of LCD is as bright and colorful as the original Apple LCD.

How long will it take to repair my iPhone 5C?

We strive to repair your device as fast as possible, however, it really depends on what part of your device needs to be fixed.

LCD Replacement normally takes about 20 – 30 minutes, in some cases if the frame is bent – we’ll need a little bit more time to get it back to its original condition.

All other repairs including Battery, Sensor, Charge Port, Camera, Buttons, Speakers and Microphone will usually take about 20 – 35 minutes.

Software Repairs time varies and depends on what kind of issue you’re facing. Normally we take cell phones with software related problems for at least 1 hour, however if the issue is difficult (e.g. dead boot loader, corrupted EFS) – then we’d prefer to have your device for 24 hours.

Data Transfer/Backup will only take about 15-20 minutes but may extend if the volume of backed up data increases.

Liquid Damaged Recovery is a time consuming process, thus we usually take phones for at least one day – ultrasonic cleaning, corroded contacts and pins take a while to get cleaned up.

How do I know if my Apple iPhone 5C battery needs replacing?

The lithium-ion battery installed in your device should operate for at least 500 charging cycles before you notice a decrease in capacity. At Geek Workshop we are able to test your phone’s battery and let you know its capacity as well as number of charging cycles. The common time to replace the battery is when its capacity is below 80%

Will I lose data on my Apple iPhone 5C?

Absolutely no, you won’t lose any data if we perform regular repairs like screen repair or battery replacement.
Moreover, in case if you’re worried about the info on your device – we can make a full backup including apps, logs, texts and calls.
