Is this proper usage?

I went to fix my cell phone last week and I think he had broken my phone!

What's the proper way of saying it.

Ty!

This means that the phone had been broken before it was repaired.

"I had gone to get my cell phone fixed last week, and I think he broke it!"

However, how can he break something that is already in need of fixing?

I went there. I left it there, then he broke it.



I went to pick up my cell phone last week and I think he had broken it!

Sorry, sentence should be:

I had gone to unlock my cell phone last week, and I think he broke it.

Please replace fix with unlock.
