Questions and Answers
Q: Does this fix connection issues with iTunes? Yes, we replace the entire dock connector assembly, which includes the data pins required for syncing.
Q: Is my data safe during the repair? Yes, a port replacement is a hardware-only fix. Your photos and apps remain untouched, though a backup is always recommended.
Q: My port is just dirty, can you clean it? If you bring it in-store, we can often clear debris while you wait. If the pins are damaged, this replacement is required.
