Where to fix your iPhone or iPad

I heard about this place that fixes iPhones ages ago but never had a reason to pass by until today. My mum accidentally dropped her iPhone into her coffee and it stopped working so I took it to the Michel Chinese Workshop in Hawalli. That’s the official name of the store but you can call it the iPhone and iPad Workshop. The shop is located in the basement of a complex and is run by a very nice Chinese couple in the front and four young Chinese technicians in a small glass room in the back.

This tiny place kicks ass. They fix whatever problem you have with your iPhone or iPad and at a very reasonable price. They fixed my mums phone for KD15 while one of my twitter followers was able to replace his broken iPad screen for KD30. They’re also fast, it took them less than an hour to diagnose what the problem was with my mums phone and also fix it.

Finding the place isn’t too difficult as long as you know Ibn Khaldoon Street since they’re right on it. Get to Ibn Khaldoon and if you pass McDonalds on your left, keep driving around 100 meters and you’ll spot the above banner on your right hand side. If you’re on Ibn Khaldoon Street and you pass McDonalds on your right then you’ve passed the place. In case you get lost you can call them on 66228596 or 22640666.

Thanks Mark, this is good information. I have to get the screen replaced on my daughter’s iPhone and so far I have been quoted anywhere between 35 and 40 KD. I am sure these guys would be cheaper and faster.

by the way if you think 12KD is great deal .. the touch screen of 3GS is $6 at eBay .. I fixed my kids 3GS broken screens like 4 times and it doesn’t need a genius to install.

Thanks for the info. I was wanting to replace the battery in my IPHONE 3GS but I know it would be difficult. I’m gonna call these guys and see what they charge. Thanks Mark!

I just called the person to ask for the replacement price for iPod Screen.
he was like he will say me the price only If I come to his Shop.
That was bad

I guess he probably needs to see which ipod and what’s exactly broken. I had originally thought my mums iPhone screens was messed up cuz it wouldn’t light up turned out to be a board problem.

usually this tactic of no quotes over the phone is because their competitor would try lower their prices/rates….its easy for them to call rather than walk into your enemies lair.

Thank you SOOOOOO much, I bought an iPhone 4(white) from eureka 7awali for 194 kd, I went home and hooked it up to my laptop and it was amazing except when I put my headphones on not all the sound is there. Like I would be listening a song and I can’t here the singers voice but I can here the background music, I called them up 2 weeks later because it was the eid holiday and they tolled me to go fix it at salmiya  !! When I went on the Internet history to go check something I watched but I forgot what I’d was called there was history from before I bought the phone and bookmarks from things I would never watch
Eureka refuse to replace the phone and I can’t find anyone to fix it, so I’ll try this and re comment !! Thanks for the post

Ahhh I wish I knew about this when my iphone fell into my pedicure water at the salon! Instead, I went out and bought a new one. I still have my old iphone, do you think there’s still a chance of reviving it?

Just a tip for future reference Mark: put the phone in a bag of rice for a few hours if it drops in water, nescafe etc , and it should work just fine. Works like a charm!

hey mark…..can u please tell how much is the price of
Samsung Galaxy S II in xcite or eureka or any other place

Don’t buy anything from Eureka…that’s my advice, based on my personal experience, as well as that of my relatives and friends.
Their customer service is bad, some of their staff are rude, & some of their products are faulty.

My friend bought the 16GB Galaxy S ll from the Samsung shop in the airport (opposite Cinnabun) a couple of weeks ago for KD 169.

True, the worst customer service in Kuwait. Very Rude and they have Zero product knowledge. I will never buy from Eureka.

I passed by them today they totally ripped me off my I phone screen got cracked and he told me to repair it will cost me 40kd. So I told him how much would I get if I sold it he gave me 60 it’s a I phone 4G 32 I went to another store on the lane who gladly offered 110kd to buy it but I ended up repairing it for 15kd and so far its fine.

Funny. I’m the chap that mark was talking about who fixed his iPad screen for 30KD. Funny enough, the next day my cats were chasing each other and ended up pulling the charger cable while I was charging my iPhone4, knocked it over and the screen cracked. The same shop replaced my iPhone4 screen for 15KD and gave me a free protective cover.

Weird, are you sure you went to the same shop? Also, you need to remember in Hawally they will play with prices depending on how much they think you will pay and not how much their “average/standard” price is. You should have told the gentleman that you were referred by someone who got their iPhone fixed for much less.

The guy I took it to in that shop, his name is Hussein so try asking for him. He’s a good chap and really took care of me when I went in. iPad took a few hours (because the person who fixes the screens was not in when I dropped off my iPad and I had to run to work, so I came back after he called me to say it was finished) and my iPhone took 30-45 minutes when I dropped it in the next day.

They were lifesaver for me today!!! Got a major issue resolved by them for me! Thanks again a million tonnes for the info.

i know its been like 4 months since this post was here but i called them just now and they Indian guy “SAYED” said we take 40 KD for an ipad Digitzer not the screen? WTF is wrong with these people getting greedy all of a sudden…

Thanks for the post Marc ! I dropped my iPhone 4S today and my front glass is shattered ! I called the shop and they want 55 KD !!!! I find that quite expensive ! Called AlGhanim..of course no warranty they recommended First Line also in Ibn Khaldoon but the phone number they gave me does not work. Have you heard of First Line in Ali ?! complex ? Cheers for all the tips !!!

Im at the shop today… For a shattered iphone 4 glass, they’re charging me 25 kd for a copy and 35 for a original glass with one year warranty
The place is neat and its 6 chinese guys in there with counter-indian to do the proceeds.

these people r bloody cheater they ask 45 kd for one very small problem in my iphone 4. i get it done in just 10 kd in manghaf behind sultan center

Kinda sucky – quoted me 30KD to fix the mic on my iPhone4. Argued for 5 mins about it being a rip off and got them down to 25KD (hardly worth the effort of 5mins and oxygen consumption).

Went to another place just at the top of the stairs – 10KD and half an hour later job done.

I can not hear from my iphone4 speaker while iam talking to other person in 1shop one person told me it wil cost 54kd to fix

and yes i tried them today .. 55kd itseems (wet iphone) neeed to change the lcd and hardware itseems ( even then they cant guarantee hardware may work ) .. i found that funny .. i pay 55 and still no guaraantee it works .. hmmm .. told the chap to leave it as is i go collect it tomorrow try another place and update this post !!!!

Hi! My samsung note2 had a sudden death syndrome and I can’t open it. Maybe some of you knows a shop where I could have it fix in a good price, I had it checked in Samsung near Marina Mall, said that they can’t fix it because they don’t have that kind of model, and I was like “Really?! You’re on the top of my list to fix this but then that’s all you’ve got to say?”
Please please please help me with this, any info will be much appreciated!

PS: my note2 was from wataniya, warranty already ended. πŸ™

you can give to MCC dajeej they will charge 41kd its the 16 gb ic very difficult to fix, but they fix it by replacing it..they then programme it.

Just had the wife’s seriously damaged ipod screen fixed for 13KD. It took about an hour and they threw in a free screen protector and case. Looks brand new again.

hi, anyone has any idea where i can get a new “mother board” for my iPhone 5s and around how much will it cost ?
also where can i go fix it ?

These guys have started ripping off customers ever since Mark’s positive review. He quoted me 25 KD for having an IC soldered back on. Got it done for 8 KD in another shop on the same street.
