Took my iPhone to Foxpaw (2nd mistake) after it was water damaged in the ocean (1st mistake). They charged me $50 for their multi step cleaning process without being overly optimistic about the chances of saving the phone, but said there was a decent chance of at least being able to get some of the data recovered. 3 days later, after the "very thorough and detailed cleansing, including ultrasonic bath" I got the notice that my phone was ready. Unfortunately it wasn't fixed and I was told they couldn't even power it up. I guess I wasn't too surprised. But I was very disappointed when I took the phone to another local one-man shop and asked if there was anything he could do to get the pictures, contacts, and Notes from the phone. He opened the phone while I was there and it was nasty. While Foxpaw apparently did open the phone based the fact that the exterior screws were not replaced, that appears to be the only thing done. The phone was clearly not cleaned, nor did it appear to have been further dismantled to do a proper clean. As the gentleman removed several more components from the inside of the phone, a small pile of salt and other residues slowly accumulated on his work station. Thanks Foxpaw for charging me $50 for removing those tiny little special screws from the outside case, but especially for making me think the phone was at least cleaned and decominated as soon as possible to prevent further corrosion. read more
