Confessions of a Phone Repair Shop

4 October, 2024 | Alex Teoli

We’ve all been there. Whether it’s dropping your phone in the toilet or from a 13-storey building, at some point or other, we’ve all needed to get our phone fixed. Maybe your display screen has a crack and those black lines or blemishes start appearing. You tell yourself you’ll get it checked soon but keep putting it off until the black smudges spread.

Be it cracked lenses, screen bleeding, charging issues, software glitches, or issues with receiving / sending phone calls, the guys at Pulptech have seen and fixed it all before. There’s no shame in it.

Speaking to their expert technicians, we’ve gathered some of the most memorable stories — tales of heroic repairs and unbelievable accidents as well as debunking a common myth (Spoiler: no, rice doesn’t work!).

Liquid Damage Chronicles

Washing Machine Woes: "I accidentally threw my phone in with the laundry. It went through an entire wash cycle with my clothes!" – At least it came out squeaky clean!

Toilet Trouble: "I was about to sit down on the toilet, and my phone slipped right in. The water was clean, I swear!" – Sureee it was and before anyone asks, no rice doesn’t have magical healing properties. Where did that story come from?

The Bizarre

13-Floor Freefall: My maid accidentally threw my phone off the balcony while shaking out the sheets. It survived a 13-floor drop, but Pupltech managed to fix it somehow." – The fact that the phone was even salvageable is seriously impressive!

Dog Digest: My dog chewed my phone. After a long day at the vet, I now need to repair my chewed-up device." – Firstly, poor dog! Glad he’s ok now. But so many questions! How big was the phone and how big was the dog? Was it in one bite?

Gym Shorts Slip: My phone slipped out of my gym shorts pocket while I was on the treadmill and flew across the room shattering this display and making it unusable.

Close Calls

Kayak Mishap: While kayaking on holiday , I took my phone to capture some beautiful maltese scenery. A rogue wave tipped the kayak, and I ended up in the water along with my phone. Despite the saltwater damage, Pupltech worked their magic and revived it!” — A reminder to always use a waterproof case or better yet, leave your phone on shore!

Pool Party Peril: A friend of mine pushed me into the pool, not realizingrealising my phone was still in my pocket. I got out as soon as possible but it was too late, my phone was scrambled. I thought for sure it won’t work again, but somehow Pulptech managed to unscramble it!” — Another lesson on why phones should steer well clear of any bodies of water.
