What the repair shop knows about us
Ines Duarte has run a phone repair shop in Braga for eleven years. She says the machines have not changed as much as the customers.
Ten years ago people brought in phones that were broken. Now, she says, most of what comes through the door works perfectly. The screen has a crack in the corner, or the battery lasts six hours instead of twelve, and the owner has been told by somebody that it is not worth repairing. She repairs about seventy per cent of them in under an hour.
What has changed on the manufacturers’ side is harder to fix. Some phones are built so that the battery cannot be taken out without breaking something else, and the parts are only sold to authorised shops. Duarte has had two machines certified so that she can keep working legally.
She was asked last year what she would tell a sixteen-year-old. She said: learn to open things. Not to repair them, necessarily. Just to look inside and see that there is nothing magic in there.
- 13. What does Ines say has changed most?The pricesThe partsThe customersThe phonesLos clientes. Lo dice al principio: the machines have not changed as much as the customers.
- 14. What is wrong with most phones brought in now?They have no batteryThey are completely brokenThey are too oldVery little, they mostly workCasi nada. Most of what comes through the door works perfectly: una grieta en la esquina o media batería.
- 15. Why is the manufacturers’ side harder to fix?Batteries cannot be removed and parts are restrictedPhones are cheaperCustomers do not careThere are no repair shopsBaterías que no se pueden sacar y piezas restringidas. Ese es el problema que ella no puede resolver sola.
- 16. Why did she have two machines certified?Because they were brokenTo train studentsSo that she could keep working legallyTo sell themPara poder seguir trabajando legalmente. Fíjate en la causativa: has had two machines certified, se las certificaron.
- 17. What advice does she give a sixteen-year-old?Learn to open things and look insideNever repair anythingBecome a repairerBuy a new phoneAprender a abrir las cosas. Y aclara que no hace falta saber arreglarlas: basta con ver que dentro no hay magia.
