Explanation
Before we service a damaged phone we ask users to perform a Factory Reset. This process deletes all personal data on the phone, which helps protect your privacy. In some cases, the damage leading to the service may also render the touchscreen inoperable. It is not possible to perform a traditional factory reset without the use of the touchscreen. The steps below will allow you to remove your data from a phone that does not have a functioning touchscreen.
