5 Signs Your Device Needs This Repair

  • Rear glass shattered into sharp splintered spiderweb fractures cutting fingers
  • Exposed internal copper wireless charging coil visible through missing glass gaps

  • Rear glass peeling away along stainless steel side frame rails
  • Water resistance compromised following a drop onto rough asphalt or tiles

How Our Technicians Complete Your Repair

CAD Optical Laser Alignment

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is clamped into the laser jig. High-precision vector software aligns the laser beam to match the exact factory chassis dimensions while masking out the wireless charging coil.

Epoxy Laser Ablation

The computerized laser runs two passes, instantly vaporizing the black structural epoxy underneath the cracked glass without generating thermal stress on internal logic boards.

Micro-Debris Removal & Wire Brush Dressing

Fragmented glass pieces lift away effortlessly; a pneumatic motorized wire brush cleans the stainless steel frame down to pure bare metal.

Structural Adhesion & Clamp Curing

High-strength adhesive is applied along all frame ridges; a brand-new OEM frosted glass panel is seated and cured under pneumatic clamps for 45 minutes.
