Assuming a good tech the yield rate should be very high and I would replace phones killed in action. I've already done that for one guy who tried and failed. The key is getting a good tech you can trust. If we can assure he knows what he is doing, then those killed in action would be replaced. In one case I think we just handled it by paying the tech in phones. Say, he gets 5 phones for a fix it party. If he's good he walks away with 5 phones to sell. If he's bad, he has to use his "pay" of 5 phones to replace the ones he breaks. > > if om is willing to state that they are to replace phones killed by > applying the fix according to the sop, my concerns are resolved.
