Serving Perkinston
Phone Repair for Perkinston, MS
The Broken Gadget is located in Gulfport and serves customers from Perkinston and the rest of Stone County. One shop, one bench, one set of technicians — nothing gets shipped anywhere.
Perkinston sits about 20 miles north of us on Highway 49, which usually works out to 25 to 30 minutes. For MGCCC students and staff, that makes a screen or battery repair a between-classes errand rather than a lost day.
Text us your model before you head down. If the part is here, most common repairs are finished in roughly 10 to 30 minutes while you wait.
Serving Perkinston from Creosote Rd
The route is simple: US-49 south from Perkinston through Saucier into north Gulfport, then Creosote Rd just before I-10. Parking is right at the suite door.
We see a steady stream of MGCCC Perkinston students whose phone is also their alarm clock, camera, and bank. If you're on a class schedule, tell us the window you have and we'll tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
Parts we don't stock can usually be here overnight for the next morning, which matters when you'd rather not make the 49 run twice.

Step 1 of 3
What causes this
- Drops in parking lots, dorms, and on campus walkways.
- Battery wear after a couple of years of charging in a vehicle.
- Charging ports full of lint from backpacks and pockets.
- Cracked back glass from phones sliding off truck seats and tailgates.
- Water damage from rain, coolers, and creek weekends.
Symptoms to look for
- Cracked or shattered display, or touch that ignores part of the screen
- Battery that won't survive a full class day
- Cable that has to be wiggled to charge
- Camera suddenly blurry or refusing to focus
- Phone that got wet and now reboots on its own
Repair options
Pricing depends on your exact model and what we find once it's open. Call or text and we'll give you a straight answer before you drive over.
Screen replacement
Display assembly replacement across iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel, Motorola, and TCL — usually while you wait.
Battery replacement
A new cell and verified health afterward. Often the cheapest way to make an older phone last another year or two.
Charging port service
Cleaning first, replacement only if it's genuinely needed.
Back glass and camera work
Shattered rear glass and camera lens damage on common iPhone and Galaxy models.
What you can safely try
- Restart before assuming the worst.
- Check battery health in settings.
- Test another cable and charger.
- Look into the port with a flashlight for compacted lint.
- Back up your photos before the drive.
When to stop
- Don't poke the charging port with metal.
- Stop using a charger that makes the phone hot.
- Don't keep restarting a water-damaged phone.
- Don't open the device yourself.
Before you come in

- Call or text first if you want us to confirm the part is on the shelf before you drive over.

Perkinston phone repair questions
Is there a The Broken Gadget in Perkinston?
No. We're one shop at 15007 Creosote Rd, Suite B in Gulfport, about 20 miles south on Highway 49, and every repair is done in-house.
How long does the drive take?
Normally 25 to 30 minutes straight down US-49. We're just off 49 on Creosote Rd, before you reach I-10.
I'm on a class schedule at MGCCC. Can you work around it?
Tell us the window you have when you call. Most screens, batteries, and ports run about 10 to 30 minutes once we start, and we'll say up front if yours won't fit that.
What if the part isn't in stock?
We can usually get it overnight for the following morning, and we'll tell you before you drive rather than after you arrive.
Do you fix laptops too?
Yes — computer repair, MacBook screens, and virus removal are all done at the same bench. Bring the charger with the machine.
Do you take walk-ins?
Always. Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM, no appointment needed.
