Anyone know a good place to get a phone repaired. My phone stopped working this morning so I need help ASAP!

It depends what's wrong with it, what carrier you are with, and also if it's under warranty.
If it's a bigger repair, not under warranty then you might as well buy a new phone.
Also your phone won't be repaired today, you'd be getting a loaner phone at some cell store (sometimes with a loaner fee), and the phone would be repaired later.
Some stores have an in city repair centre while others have to send it out.

Phone isn't under warranty, and the plan is with fido.

It seems to turn on, but thats as far as it gets it never actually loads, screen turns on too, but never actually loads.

Motorola V300, it may be time for a newer phone anyways.

Well if you really want to fix it, you can probably get it reflashed. Try turning it on while holding # and * and see if you get into the boot menu. From there, if you have a data cable, you can reflash the phone as it does sound like a software problem.

When turnin on with th # and* I get a white screen, however I don't have a data cable so not much I can do. Anywhere I can take it to get this done.

Honestly it's not worth it. It now sounds like the problem is your flex cable, not the software. This will probably cost you as much, if not more, than buying a new phone. Besides, upgrading from the v300 (to anything) is like moving up from Hyundai to Mercedes ;)
