Originally posted by -SpectraL Truth be told, those pics aren't even really mine. There's only one or two real pics of me out there, but I highly doubt any of you have one. What I did was I selected a Facebook profile at random and "leaked" some breadcrumbs to it on the BBS, knowing the PI rats would be all over it like an extremely fat man at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Then once the dummies had posted the "PI" I'd fed them, I used the gullible Fun Bunch to ban them off the site under the no-PI rule, knowing there was no way they could prove it wasn't me. Like I've said many times before, if you try to fuck with the spirit of Totse, I have many ways of evening the score.
I never banned anyone who supposedly posted your PI, ever. Some of the other Fun Bunch might have, but I didn't. I didn't play along with your little data poisoning game. -

Apple Hardware Diagnostics.I don't know how many of you need this sort of thing, but I figured there might be an interest in it anyway. This isn't my full collection, as most of them are at my office, but this is what I have on my home computer. Schematics and PCB files for iPhone and iPad. Used for hardware diagnosis and repair.

Originally posted by eBagger Oh Grimster, my long distance friends and mentor.
I appreciate your input as always.
Although I feel like you are kind of underplaying my abilities, like some kind of glorified screen repair/battery swap only specialist. You know I don't have as specialized skills at the component level (Unless its blazingly obvious, and my solder joints might not look quite as pristine, but I can solder, and microsolder to a lesser degree)
While I think you are mostly right, as you know there are several shops around your area, my area, all over where there are places that specialize in Mobile/Tablet/Electronics repair, OR Computer/Mac Hardware/Software, and maybe a few that specialize in both.
The 2 shops I spoke too who were strictly PC/Mac Software/Hardware repair were interested in learning about cell phone/tablet repair, but didn't know where to start, as they always have customers asking them about it, to where it seems the consensus was to refer to the old shops I worked at.
Maybe it was my delivery and lack of ability to communicate my skillset and confidence in repairing , or their hesitance to bring an outsider into a family owned 15 year old business.
But what I don't believe shops have, are the startup funds I have already invested in having all parts needed for same all same-day iPhone/iPad repairs (except for the ones too expensive we order as needed such as iPad air 2's).
So since I have exhausted options in my town, I believe across the state/east coast there are more shops like that that exist, and was wondering the best way to get ahold of them to try and "sell" myself for integration. I want their customer flow, I can already do the PC/Mac work, but them let me have an office where there is already established and regular flow of customers and offer my repairs, while giving them part of the cut for allowing me to be there. This would be the merger.
Now my main question is, what is the best way to go about this?
I mean could I post as an employer on indeed and be like "looking for computer repair company looking to expand to mobile/tablet/electronic repairs - all parts on deck - can be introduced as separate entity or hired on to help with work already being done and slowly advertise that now they offer cell phone/tablet repair"
And when you say unique skills, the skills are still unique enough that I worked at a shop close to the college where $1000 goals were met many days through the week just based off doing iPhone screen repairs. And this is why I quit the position, because from working on PCs, Desktops, Laptops, Macs, iPads, iPhones, to just doing a few iPhones a day felt like I was going backward. But little did I know how much I'd hate the marketing and working by myself aspect. I miss working as a team. I miss having other techs around with issues that I could help with or vise versa.
It reminded me of when I was happy, back in CET class in high school. A buncha nerds talkin nerd shit, playin games together after school/work, working on tech projects.
So any ideas now that I've retorted? A way to advertise on indeed or other employer sites? Google nearby/towns I wouldn't mind living and calling the shops and asking for a skype/over the phone interview to pitch my idea?
I think you already said it. If you're insistent on doing it, do exactly what you said."looking for computer repair company looking to expand to mobile/tablet/electronic repairs - all parts on deck - can be introduced as separate entity or hired on to help"

Coughing and spitting up phlegm in front of people in a public place, clearly ill, at least, ill enough to not be at work, but not ill enough to be shitposting on a forum at the library spreading around your shit. You're the asshole.

Originally posted by -SpectraL To be honest, IT is one of the worst possible fields one could be in right now. You'd be best to try something else completely.
But the IT repair field is particularly lucrative, especially if you are skilled at component level repair on expensive products such as MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad. This just so happens to be my specialty. I'm not talking about screen replacements. I'm talking about diodes, capacitors, common mode chokes, ICs, flux, SMD hot air rework stations, soldering irons, reballing SMD chips, microsoldering, micro jumper wires, schematics, all the nitty-gritty.
IT tech support is bullshit. -
