Sell a Broken or Water-Damaged Phone in Dallas

What a parts unit is worth

Parts pricing is driven by what can be harvested. A recent Pro-model iPhone with a dead battery but an intact board and cameras is worth meaningfully more than an older model that has been sitting in a drawer since a swim in Lake Ray Hubbard.

• Will not power on — quoted as a parts unit
• Water damage — quoted after corrosion is assessed
• Charging port failure — often a cheap repair, small deduction
• Missing components from a prior repair attempt — lowers the grade

Do not try to fix it yourself

Rice does nothing. Heat guns and pry tools usually cause more damage than they solve, and a half-disassembled phone with torn flex cables is worth a fraction of an intact dead one. Bring it as it sits.

Activation Lock still applies

Even a dead iPhone can carry Activation Lock. If you can still access iCloud from another device, remove the phone from Find My before you sell — otherwise its parts value drops to almost nothing because the board cannot be reused.

Responsible disposal

If your device really has no value, do not throw it in the trash. Lithium batteries cause fires in waste trucks and landfills. We will take genuinely dead devices off your hands so they are recycled properly rather than dumped.
