Broken handle or Frame

Usually the handle breaks because it has separated itself from the frame. If you have a wobbly handle, there is a possibility that the frame is already damaged. The three images below show damage to the frame.

Replacing the handle and the frame involves very intricate and time consuming work. It requires a seasoned technician who is electronically savvy and takes all necessary precautions such as grounding oneself before touching modern electronic printed circuit boards. Next step is to transfer all parts from damaged frame to the new.
