| - After much troubleshooting, we decided that my S3 needed a professional to fix the charging issue. Took it to CPR. They diagnosed it saying the charging port had come loose from the board. Left it with them for several hours. Picked it up and it appeared to work. Paid $65. Later that night, it stopped working again (it wasn't recognizing that it was attached to a charger). The guy on the phone said he remembered my phone and that I could bring it back the next day, which I did.
On the 2nd visit in, I was told that the tech that worked on my phone was not their best tech and did not do a good job. They said that the good tech fixed it correctly this time and I was good to go (covered under the warranty).
All was good for about a week, then it stopped working again.
3rd visit: Took it back. They fixed it again (said they were resoldering it back to the board). This time, they said that it was my fault it was coming off, despite my telling them it had not been dropped or mishandled in anyway (I was careful before, I was overly careful after).
Fast forward 2 weeks. It stops working AGAIN!
This time, I took it somewhere else. They said the port itself was faulty and replaced it. They also said the board was BADLY DAMAGED from all the soldering done by the previous shop (CPR).
So here I am, $65 to CPR, $45 to the new place, and a damaged phone from CPR's bad work. Yes, cheaper than a new phone, but come on. CPR could have done a better job from day one, but they did not. They damaged my phone, now I can't get it fixed or warrantied properly from any where else.
I'm not a happy camper.
I don't recommend CPR.
