Not sure it's a reliable source but Telstra support (Exhibition Street )sent me to: "Happy Mobile 247 Lonsdale Street 96634180 " when an " excessively enthusiastic" use of "Kingroot"; put the phone beyond 'factory reset'; they fixed the phone for $50 ! http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/category.php?id=1246&o=a&s=2
Thanks for the suggestion. They quoted me $149,
As a matter of interest were they the cheapest ?
the phone originally cost $550 including postage in 2014. The Note 4 costs $550 + postage now from Shopping Square and a new Note 3 is on ebay with a buy it now price of $380 with free postage.
Or ~ $300 second hand on gumtree! http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-electronics-computer/melbourne/samsung+note+3/k0...
It seems like bad value to pay 40% of the price of a new Note 3 or 25% the price of a Note 4 to fix my old phone (which is a little worn and has some other minor issues). I'd rather spend a bit more and have a better phone and give my old phone to one of my relatives who doesn't mind having a cracked screen.
Or just sell it ; if you can spare the time ? regards Rohan McLeod
