The title was supposed to be “Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt Digitizer Repair.” ZZZZZZZZZZZ Nakakaantok! This is a boring repair post. This is my first time to do this kind of stuff. Also, I'm not a techie -- in fact, I'm the antithesis of techie, but I'm good with my hands (and may konting common sense). I won't be using technical words 'cause frankly, I don't know any. If I don't know the name of a part, I'll just describe it. I researched a bit before doing the deed. If you're going to open yours and manage to mangle it, WALANG SISIHAN!!! You've been duly warned.
Anyhooo, this Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt (FuBo) is fairly new, just a few months or so. I bought it from Lazada, and it was a pretty straightforward transaction. I got it for ~3.6K, after the 300-peso discount voucher from a friend. The shipping was free. Oh, this isn't about the purchase nga pala, the repair, yes, yes. Well, the touch screen (or digitizer) got broken a couple of months ago. It was lying on the bed, then napatungan ng pillow na nadaganan ni Sharkteeth. Pero hindi daw sya ang nakabasag and was adamant about it. Riiiiiiiiight. So I guess it was me, who was cooking in the kitchen, or TheHusband, who was tinkering with the laptop. Pero hindi si S. LOL! Anyway, I checked out the local Cherry Mobile branch, and they were asking me for 2K, kasi daw may shipment fee pa. Ughhhhh. I checked the local cellphone/laptop/tablet repair shops, and their quotes range from 1.5K to 2.2K. Merong isa, 1.7K daw. When I asked kung kasama na service dun, tiningnan muna ako mula ulo hanggang paa, seemingly to gauge if I can pay more, then replied na may dagdag daw na 500 pesos for the repair. Hahahahahahaah! Mukha ba akong mayaman? Siguro kasi suot ko yung huge-ass hikaw ko na mukhang diamond ang kislap, eh puwet ng baso lang naman yun. Hahahahahahaha! I checked the Internet for possible resources and found Jem Aguilar's blog. It is very informative. I also headed to YouTube for some videos, eventually choosing OrlandoFarner1's video:
