iPhone diagnostic service in Fuengirola
When the fault is obvious — cracked glass, a dead battery, a loose charging port — you do not need a diagnostic, you need the repair. This is for the other cases: a phone that will not power up, a display that lights but shows nothing, random restarts, or a phone that has been wet and is behaving strangely. The point is to identify the real fault before anybody buys a part.

What gets checked
- Display and touch across the whole panel — dead strips, ghost touch, backlight, colour
- Battery health, cycle count and behaviour under load, which is where random shutdowns come from
- Charging: the port, the flex and whether the phone actually draws current properly
- Speakers, ear speaker and microphones, tested on a real call
- Front and rear cameras, autofocus and stabilisation
- Face ID and the sensors behind the display
- Liquid indicators and a visual board inspection when water is suspected
Why guessing costs more than checking
A blank display can be a failed panel or a phone that is not booting at all. Random shutdowns are usually a worn battery, but not always. A phone that will not charge might be the port, the flex, the battery or corrosion from a spill six weeks ago. Fitting a part to find out is an expensive way to learn which one it was.
After the assessment you get three things: what is actually wrong, the repair that fixes it, and the price. If the phone is not worth the money, you will be told that too — over twenty years on this coast, that has been better for business than the alternative.
When a diagnostic is not needed
There is no diagnostic fee for the everyday jobs. A cracked or black screen, a battery that dies by lunchtime, a charging port that has gone loose, a cracked rear glass or a camera lens — those all have published prices that include the part, the labour and IVA, and the testing we do together before and after is part of the repair.
A phone that has been in water is the opposite case: nothing can be concluded from the outside. There the first step is an ultrasonic board clean and corrosion treatment from €99, taken as a non-refundable deposit, and the report comes after that.
Where the diagnostic usually leads
Diagnostic questions
- What does an iPhone diagnostic involve?
- The phone is tested function by function — display and touch, battery health and behaviour under load, charging and the port, speakers and microphones, cameras, Face ID, and the liquid indicators — so the actual fault is identified before any part is bought or fitted.
- Do I pay for a diagnostic?
- There is no diagnostic fee when the fault is an obvious screen, battery, port, camera or back glass job — the published repair price covers it. For unclear faults, or a phone that has been wet, the inspection is quoted to you first before any work starts.
- How long does it take?
- Most assessments are done while you wait. A phone that has been in water needs opening and cleaning before anything can be concluded, which is usually a same-day job.
- Will you tell me if the phone is not worth repairing?
- Yes. If the repair cost does not make sense against what the phone is worth, you will be told that plainly instead of being sold parts.
- Is my data at risk during a diagnostic?
- No. Nothing is wiped or reset. A back-up is always sensible before any repair, but the assessment itself does not touch your content.
