Good day Nairaland Phone Engineers,
I am in dire need of your help, opinion, advice or where to go to get my phone fix or atleast recovery my memories on it.
I recently(Saturday) just changed the battery( greatest mistake of my entire existence) and screen to my iPhone 5s, it started with going off all of a sudden even when the battery was fully charged, I planned on taking it back to the guy who changed the screen and battery to have it fixed cause it didn’t use to act up like that before.
But on Sunday night, the phone just went off and started showing only the Apple logo and it has been stuck on it ever since.
List of things I have tried, to fix the phone:
1.Given that the home button(middle button) had already spoilt and wasn’t working before ( I normally use the icon that popped up on the phone to nativate).
There’s no way I can succeed with the “press the home button and power button” trick
2. Taken it to different guys that fix phones and they( bout 6 guys) all said the same thing, which is; the phone has to be flashed and I that would mean I loose all my photos, videos and chats(WhatsApp)
This wouldn’t have been a problem but I’m a cave woman who stupidly got so comfortable with the idea that my phone can never get stolen so I didn’t back up �
I honestly do not want to loose all of my memories on that phone and I do not know what else to do
3. One of the phone repairers who suggested an iOS upgrade but later called to confirm that it didn’t work out or something like that
Right now I don’t even care about the phone I just need all my data on it,out.
4. Pray, yes I have prayed and prayed that the phone just comes up for at least an hour so I can just quickly back my memories up on iCloud but yet to see anything.
Somehow I’m convinced, there has to be a way to retrieve my photos and videos with an advanced technology or something
Guys please, does anyone know what I can do to just get my memories out or a place I can take it to. I’d be really grateful
Thank you.

Thought about changing the newly replaced battery with another to see if it boots? If this has been done and it’s the same, what happened is that your data is corrupted and the only way to recover your phone is to wipe it clean!

Yes, I have tried that approach but the phone still didn’t come up.
How do I get the pictures and videos on it before wiping it clean?

I think you should contact Qtguru. Yes I have been there but haven't gotten a job. I also don't bid frequently due to limited connects. I have only been able to navigate fiverr. It is also possible to get clients on upwork. You need patience, a good proposal and connects to bid for job. Most times people resort to buying connects because the free connects given by the platform is not sufficient to bid for jobs.

Oh! Okay

Which means Fiverr seem more plausible in getting jobs than Upwork. I think I’d go that route since I need jobs I can get doing soonest.

If you don’t mind putting me through the processes to avoid common challenges and curating my profile to be more accessible, I’d truly appreciate it.

Also what payment account is best to open for task payment?

None of the platforms are easy. It's saturated at the moment. Though it is definitely possible to get clients. I have been on the platform for sometime.

On fiverr, you can't bid. You just wait for a buyer who is interested in your service to contact you.

I will advice you open an account on both. Make your profile and gig interesting and enticing for buyers who come across your gig to contact you. Also be patient. Don't pressurize yourself because you might just loose interest. It is definitely possible to earn on the platform.

For fiverr, I still use exchangers. I haven't figured how to transfer directly to my account.

There's PayPal, payoneer and directly to bank account for those based in US I think.

A friend got a job from Indeed, it depends on what you Upskill on, Upwork is a bust at the moment, too much fees.
