OEM magnetometer sensor

The Problem

A malfunctioning compass magnetometer affects navigation accuracy, location services, and augmented reality features.

Common symptoms include:

  • Compass app showing incorrect direction
  • Maps navigation pointing wrong way
  • AR apps not working correctly
  • Compass requires constant recalibration

Our Solution

Our technicians will diagnose and replace the faulty magnetometer sensor, ensuring accurate directional readings and proper compass functionality.

Why choose professionals:

  1. DIY magnetometer repairs have 90% failure rate causing $700-900 logic board damage from incorrect micro-soldering destroying surrounding sensors and creating shorts that damage CPU
  2. Requires expensive specialized micro-soldering equipment, magnetic field testing tools, and precision calibration equipment completely unavailable to consumers
  3. Common DIY mistakes include destroying accelerometer and gyroscope during extraction, misdiagnosing magnetic case interference as hardware failure, and damaging nearby components requiring $600+ logic board repair
  4. Our 90-day warranty protects your repair—DIY magnetometer work voids AppleCare permanently and commonly requires $800+ device replacement
  5. Expert diagnostics distinguish magnetic interference from actual sensor failure—compass issues often caused by cases or calibration saving hundreds in unnecessary hardware replacement
  6. Same-day service typically available—professional sensor replacement completed in 2-3 hours versus days of DIY attempts risking permanent navigation system destruction

When we all depend so heavily on our iPhones for so many reasons, when something is wrong, we have to get it fixed before we lose all of our information inside it, it can be stressful and caused lots of anxiety! I read and write reviews all over the country because I am a truck driver and when I found this review about GIZMO DEPOT,INC , and all of the other great reviews, that made my decision to come here and I’m so happy I did! THE OWNER AND OPERATOR’S NAME IS NA!! Yes NA, and she is so wonderful with such a beautiful smile and a great personality to go with it! She she is so reassuring and trustworthy, when you drop your phone off, and might have to have a little extra work done in 24 hours, you have complete reassurance that when you get it back everything including many important emails are still going to be accessible! Na assured me and made me know without a doubt that my two week HAWAII HONEYMOON vacation, and all my emails would be exactly where I left them! So , of course they were! When we drop our phones and the glass in the back is cracked, really badly, and she has to completely take that off, clean the entire phone by taking everything out, also inserting a new battery as requested and screensaver, to me the challenge of that type of job is indescribable and I’m so glad I found Na to do it!! I absolutely highly recommend everything that she does to fix all of your devices! Her expertise and knowledge of doing this here at this location for over 14 years is proof, of her wonderful service! Thanks so much again NA !! I will be telling everybody I know, if they ever need service, to come to see you first! I appreciate you! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Na is the best! I needed my xbox series x cleaned and she explained everything thoroughly and insisted on testing before and after the cleaning. great prices and even greater results in a short time! will definitely come again :)

The lady running this is excellent! Unfortunately with this review, there isn't more than 5 starts but should be at least 10 stars!!!! Very helpful, knowledgeable and gets to the bottom or real issues quickly and is reasonable cost for diagnostic services. Identifies real issues where phone carrier store people generally do not find real equipment issues, especially on older phones!!!!
