Welcome to the Service Centre, the place to come if you ever experience a problem with your mobile. Some faults are simple to fix. Select from the options here to see if there's an easy fix for your mobile. That way you may not have to send it in for repair. If not, you can book it in for repair here.

Step 1 - Select fault area

Step 2 - Select symptom

Step 3 - Action options

Some faults are simple to fix. Select from these options to see if there's an easy fix for your mobile. That way you may not have to send it in for repair.

Turn your device off and then back on

Turning your device off and then back on is a quick and simple way to fix many problems. This works if your device is temporarily not responding, but won't fix any underlying fault.

Today's mobile phones are not unlike a personal computer. Just like rebooting your computer, rebooting your mobile phone can resolve many simple problems. We recommend rebooting your phone every few days.

This step is especially effective with BlackBerry devices. Removing the battery while your phone is on, and then putting it back, triggers a BlackBerry to reset itself ('hard reset').

Fully charge your battery

Sometimes your battery may not be charged, even when it seems like it should be. Give your phone a full charge by connecting to its charger which has been plugged into a standard AC power socket. Ensure the power is switched on at the wall socket.

Backup and restore

Phone makers often release new software for their products. Backing up your data and doing a fresh installation of the latest software for your phone is a great way of getting the best out of your device. The most important thing to do before updating your phone's software is to back-up your phone so you don't lose any important files like your contacts or photos.

Connect your device to your PC using the software that came with your phone (such as iTunes for Apple iPhones). Back up or make a copy of all the data on your phone, double-check that you've got that data in a safe place and then update your phone to the latest software. You can usually find new software downloads at the phone maufacturer's website. Search for your phone's brand name (e.g., BlackBerry), model name and/or number (e.g Bold 9700).

Physical damage or Liquid Ingression

In some cases where your device has been physically damaged, or has suffered liquid ingression (e.g., water or any kind of liquid which seeps into the internal parts of the device), you may not be covered by your repair warranty. We'll assess the device when we receive it and if there's any problems we'll let you know as soon as we can.

Battery info

Smartphones require more battery power than other phones, especially when they're connecting to a network (e.g., when browsing the web or using WiFi).

If you leave a high drain application running in the background (like push email or GPS navigation) this might be the culprit of your battery drain!

If you're not using them, it's best to turn off WiFi, push email and GPS. You can also try turning the brightness of your screen down and turning off background data access.

Backing up your data and doing a fresh installation of the latest software for your phone is a great way of getting the best out of your device. The most important thing to do before updating your phone's software is to back-up your phone so you don't lose any important files like your contacts or photos.

Connect your device to your PC using the software that came with your phone (such as iTunes for Apple iPhones). Back up or make a copy of all the data on your phone, double-check that you've got that data in a safe place and then update your phone to the latest software. You can usually find new software downloads at the phone maufacturer's website. Search for your phone's brand name (e.g., BlackBerry), model name and/or number (e.g Bold 9700).
