Phone & Tablet repair in Elk Grove

iPhone across the current and older generations, Samsung Galaxy in the S, Note, A and folding lines, Google Pixel, and the wider Android field from Motorola, OnePlus, LG and Sony. Display assemblies, batteries, charge ports, front and rear cameras, earpieces and loudspeakers, rear glass, and devices that have been in water. Phone and tablet diagnostic: $49, or $99 for liquid damage, data recovery and board repair, credited toward the repair when you approve it.

iPad Pro, Air, mini and the standard iPad, alongside Galaxy Tab, Lenovo and Amazon Fire. Tablets carry larger glass and larger cells than phones, so a drop a handset shrugs off will split a tablet digitizer, and a worn tablet battery shows up as a device that will not survive being left off the charger overnight. Charge port work, camera and speaker faults and liquid cleanup make up the rest.

Lithium cells lose capacity as charge cycles accumulate. The symptoms are consistent: runtime shortens, the device shuts down while the meter still reads a third full, and on an older phone the back or the screen starts to lift where the cell has swelled. A swollen cell is worth dealing with promptly, because it presses on the display and the board around it.

Plenty of short-runtime complaints turn out to be software instead. Separating the two is what the diagnostic is for, and it happens before anyone quotes you a battery.

Water stops being the problem within the first minute. Corrosion takes over, and it keeps working long after the device feels dry. Rice does nothing for it. Switch the device off, leave it off the charger, and get it opened. We clean the board ultrasonically, deal with the corroded connectors and rails, then find out what still works. Some devices come through intact and some lose a component along the way, and you will hear which yours is.

We'll explain your part options before you decide. On displays the choice is a real one: an OLED panel behaves like the original, an LCD costs less and looks it, and the two are not the same purchase.

Every price we give online is an estimate. Final pricing depends on part quality, part availability, device condition and what the diagnostic finds. Standard repair warranty: 30 days unless stated otherwise on your ticket. Aftermarket OLED and Apple original phone screens carry a 90-day warranty against manufacturer defects; drops, physical damage and liquid damage after the repair are not covered. Aftermarket LCD phone screens carry no warranty. For the iPhone 11 and X series and the iPhone SE (2nd or 3rd generation) we offer one screen: a high quality aftermarket screen with a 90-day warranty. Customer-supplied parts are accepted, with no warranty or guarantee on the supplied part.

Walk-ins welcome. Appointments welcome. Quote requests welcome. Appointments are 15 to 30 minute check-in and drop-off windows, not repair start or completion times. Mail-in repairs are accepted for anything you are comfortable shipping to us. Ask about turnaround when you check in; it depends on the repair and parts availability.
