Hello everyone in Okinawa! This is Phone Fix Okinawa.
We often receive consultations about severe troubles when customers try to use an old iPhone after a long period of time. Recently, we received a request for a classic model: the iPhone 5C.
■ The Aging Bomb! Screen Damage from Battery Swelling
The customer’s iPhone 5C had been put away for a long time. Upon attempting to charge it, the worst happened: “The screen lifted and cracked.” This is caused by “Battery Swelling”, where the lithium-ion battery produces gas due to aging or overcharging, causing it to inflate internally.
A swollen battery is not just a malfunction; it is a serious hazard that not only pushes up and cracks the screen but can also pose an ignition risk in the worst-case scenario.
We quickly addressed this dangerous situation by performing a simultaneous replacement of both the screen and the battery.
■ The Second Challenge! Facing the “Activation Lock”
After replacing the screen and battery, as we proceeded with operational checks, we discovered the device was protected by an “Activation Lock.”
- “I don’t remember the ID or password…”
- “I thought I just had to give up on this old device…”
Normally, repair shops cannot proceed when this lock is active. However, please be assured.
At Phone Fix Okinawa, we offer support for these special circumstances by using dedicated tools and specialized knowledge to assist in clearing the Activation Lock.
Our strength lies not only in advanced repair techniques but also in offering comprehensive support to ensure the customer can use their device again. The iPhone 5C was successfully revived, much to the delight of our customer!
