Phone Repair for Waveland, MS
The Broken Gadget is located in Gulfport and serves customers from Waveland and across Hancock County. There is one storefront, on Creosote Rd off Highway 49, and every repair happens there.
From Waveland it's roughly 35 miles — usually about 40 minutes east on I-10, then north at the Highway 49 exit. Customers make that drive because the repair is done in front of them the same day instead of being mailed away.
That's far enough that we'd rather you text first. Send us your model, we'll confirm the part is on the shelf, and you'll know before you get in the car.
Serving Waveland from Creosote Rd
The straightforward route from Waveland is US-90 or Highway 603 up to I-10, east to the Highway 49 exit in Gulfport, then a short run north to Creosote Rd. Parking is directly outside.
Coastal Hancock County is hard on phones: salt air, sand in every charging port, and water incidents from the beach and the bayous. Salt water in particular is far more corrosive than fresh, so bring a wet phone in quickly rather than trying to dry it out at home.
If we need to order a part, it's usually here overnight for the next morning. On a 70-mile round trip, knowing that in advance is the difference between one drive and two.

Step 1 of 3
What causes this
- Drops on tile, concrete, and boat decks.
- Sand and salt packing into charging ports and speaker grilles.
- Humidity and salt air accelerating corrosion inside the phone.
- Battery capacity loss after a few years of daily charging.
- Water incidents at the beach, on the water, and around pools.
Symptoms to look for
- Cracked glass, dead touch areas, or lines on the display
- Battery that drains far faster than it used to
- Charging that only works at a particular cable angle
- Calls that sound muffled on one or both ends
- A phone that went in salt water and is acting strangely
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
Full display assembly on iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel, Motorola, and TCL — normally while you wait.
Battery replacement
New cell, verified health, and honest advice about whether the phone is worth it.
Charging port cleaning and repair
Sand and salt explain a lot of coastal charging complaints. We clean first and only replace when it's actually needed.
Salt water damage evaluation
Board inspection and cleaning, with realistic odds given up front. Sooner is dramatically better.
What you can safely try
- Restart before assuming hardware failure.
- Check battery health in settings.
- Try a different cable and wall brick.
- Check the port with a flashlight for sand or lint.
- Back up before making the drive.
When to stop
- Don't dig in a sandy charging port with metal.
- Don't keep charging a phone that went in salt water — bring it in as-is.
- Stop using a battery that is hot or visibly swollen.
- Don't open the device yourself.
Before you come in
- Text (228) 609-0777 with your model before you leave Waveland.
- Bring your passcode for post-repair testing.
- Remove the case and old screen protector.
- Tell us if it has ever been in salt water, even months ago.
How the visit goes
- Call or text before you drive. It's about 40 minutes each way, and one message tells us whether your part is here or needs to come in overnight.
- No appointment needed. We're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM, and walk-ins are how most repairs start.
- Call or text first if you want us to confirm the part is on the shelf before you drive over.
- You get a straight answer on cost and timing before we start — not after.
- Qualifying repairs carry a lifetime warranty. We tell you up front when a repair doesn't qualify.
Waveland phone repair questions
Do you have a Waveland or Bay St. Louis location?
No. We're a single shop at 15007 Creosote Rd, Suite B in Gulfport. Every repair is done there by our own technicians.
How far is it from Waveland?
About 35 miles, normally around 40 minutes: up to I-10, east to the Highway 49 exit, then a short run north to Creosote Rd.
Is it worth the drive for a screen?
That's your call, and we'd rather be straight with you: text us the model first. If the part is here, you'll typically be in and out in about 10 to 30 minutes once we start.
My phone went in the Gulf. What should I do?
Leave it off and bring it in quickly. Salt water corrodes a board fast, and the odds drop every day you wait.

We can usually have most parts overnight for the following morning, and we'll tell you that before you drive down.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM. No appointment needed, though a call ahead is smart from Hancock County.
