I dealt with a cell phone repair company here for years that provided great customer service. They went out of the way to help, and they didn't charge the standard pricing on their price list if you didn't need the service. They've gotten so big and successful that they've turned their repair services into a conveyor belt.
I'll spare the details, but I need someone to replace the LCD on an iPhone 6 and remove the access code (which we have) so that we can back the phone up. The twist is, I don't want to buy a new LCD or glass since the phone is being replaced by SquareTrade.
I've been in electronics repair for many years, so I know how simple this request is. Hopefully someone is in Cary who will work with me on this unusual request and, in exchange, gain a new customer for our seven phones.
You can't just remove the access code. If it was that easy, the FBI wouldn't have tried taking Apple to court over it.
That's not the question. If the screen worked, it would be a trivial matter to enter the access code, "which we have" as posted above, and then remove the code altogether. The FBI is not needed on this one.
You can remove the access code by reflashing the drive and resetting the whole device. The FBI wanted to get into the phone so they can get the data.
Spend the $10-20 and get a good case. I see way too many people use iPhones without a case. It is designed to slip out of your hands. Apple designed form over function and made their phones super slippery and easy to scratch, dent, and crack. Get a good protection case and a film and you don't have to shell out the $75-200 to repair the thing,

I assume access code equals passcode?
Have you taken it to the Apple Store to see if they'll help you at all?
If all you need is to back up a phone that's being replaced by your SquareTrade warranty, maybe they will help you.

You can buy Speck cases at Marshalls or TJ Maxx for $10-$12. They are normally $35 at Target.

I use cases, but no way do I see the point in a screen protector. I wear diamond earrings and manage to maybe, maybe get a wee tiny scratch or group of scratches after a year of use (I upgrade yearly) and those are those ones that you cannot see unless you hold it up the light at JUST the right angle.
Nooo... the screen is one of the most gorgeous elements of the phone. I totally am with you on the case, though. I use cases that will withstand drops, but are still not bulky. Because bulk really defeats the point.

There was a great video on youtube by Louis Rossmann about this topic.
Basically the answer is Apple pushed all the independent repair shops out of the business, by increasing the cost of parts for 3rd parties, with each generation of the iphone apple has increased the price of the screen/glass to the point where a independent shop cannot match the price apple stores charge.
