[GTALUG] legasy cell phone repair in Toronto?

[bitmap]

FYI if not aware of it there is an active forum at https://old.reddit.com/r/dumbphones if you are interested in feature phones.
And if still looking for a repair shop, try dufferin mall, there are several indy phone businesses in addition to basically every carrier in the GTA 
https://dufferinmall.ca/stores
it's like a mobile phone convention 365 days a year.
