Help for do-it-yourselfers. If you're the hands-on type, check your cell phone's manual for a troubleshooting section or search for advice on the manufacturer's or service provider's Web site. Another source is the do-it-yourself cell phone repair site Repair4mobilephone.
If your phone is off-warranty, consider certified independent repairers. Ask whether the repairer you're considering is certified by a trade group, such as the Electronics Technicians Association or the International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians. Membership doesn't ensure integrity, but it does suggest that repairers are technically qualified.
