Serving Wiggins
Phone Repair for Wiggins, MS
The Broken Gadget is located in Gulfport and serves customers from Wiggins and throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast. There is one shop, on Creosote Rd just off Highway 49, and every repair is done there by our own technicians.
Wiggins is a straight shot down Highway 49 — roughly 30 miles, usually about 35 to 40 minutes depending on traffic through Saucier and the Gulfport lights. That is a real trip, so the single most useful thing you can do is call or text us your exact model before you leave.
When the part is on the shelf, most screens, batteries, and charging ports are finished in roughly 10 to 30 minutes, so a Wiggins customer can generally drive down, wait, and drive home with a working phone the same morning.
Serving Wiggins from Creosote Rd
From downtown Wiggins, take US-49 south through Perkinston and Saucier and stay on it into north Gulfport. We're just off 49 on Creosote Rd, before you reach I-10, with parking directly outside the suite.
Because 49 is the only practical route, we plan around it: get here near our 8 AM opening and you beat both the Gulfport lunch traffic and the afternoon run back north.
If we don't have your part on hand, we can usually have it overnight for the following morning. That's worth knowing before you make the drive twice — text us first and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.

Step 1 of 3
What causes this
- Drops on driveways, job sites, and gravel — a big share of Stone County screens.
- Battery capacity fading after two to three years of daily charging.
- Charging ports packed with pocket lint, sawdust, and dirt.
- Heat exposure from phones left in trucks through a Mississippi summer.
- Water incidents from creeks, boats, and work in the rain.
Symptoms to look for
- Cracked glass, dead touch spots, or lines across the display
- Phone that dies mid-afternoon on a normal day
- Charging only when the cable is held at an angle
- Muffled calls or a speaker that crackles
- Phone that got wet and is now behaving oddly
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, so you're not making a second trip down 49.
Battery replacement
New cell with verified health afterward. The highest-value repair on a phone that still does everything else well.
Charging port service
We clean first. A surprising number of 'dead' ports are packed with lint or dust and don't need any part at all.
Water damage evaluation
Board inspection and cleaning with honest odds up front, before corrosion spreads.
What you can safely try
- Restart the phone before assuming hardware failure.
- Check battery health in settings so you know what you're dealing with.
- Try a different cable and wall brick.
- Shine a flashlight into the charging port and look for packed lint.
- Back up before you make the drive.
When to stop
- Don't dig in the charging port with anything metal.
- Stop charging a phone that's hot to the touch or swelling.
- Don't keep powering on a phone that went in water — bring it in.
- Don't open the device yourself.
Before you come in
- Call or text (228) 609-0777 with your model before you leave Wiggins so we can confirm the part is here.
- Bring your passcode — we test the repair before handing it back.
- Remove the case and old screen protector.
- Tell us about any water exposure, even weeks ago.
How the visit goes
- Call or text before you drive. It's a 35 to 40 minute trip each way, and a two-minute message tells us whether your part is on the shelf.
- 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.
