When your Samsung breaks, you want to get it repaired as quickly as possible to avoid any further damage and the possibility of having to purchase a new one. As technology continues to grow and advance, repairing a phone becomes much more intricate. What this means is that DIY phone repair projects are not recommended and should only be done by a professional.
Of course, there are some small troubleshooting tips you can take at home to fix common issues that may arise, but for the bigger items, you want to leave to the pros.
Below, we will go over some of the Samsung repairs that you want to hire a professional for as these repairs require professional assistance.
Water Damage
Water is not a friend of any smartphone and even if you have a phone that has been labeled water resistant, water damage can still occur. Smartphones that have been dropped in water should always be looked at by a professional. The issue with water damage is that it is not always obvious and apparent to the eye, so you could have damage hidden deep in the phone.
Once a phone has been dropped in water, it is best to turn the phone off and remove both the SIM card, battery, and memory card. You should not turn the phone back on until you seek out professional assistance.
Water can damage your phone’s motherboard and basically fry your phone and leave it useless. A professional can handle a water-damaged phone properly and prevent further damage from occurring.
Shattered or Broken Screen
Some people do choose to replace or repair their smartphone screens as a DIY project, but it is not recommended. This is because there are many small components behind the screen and small connectors that can easily snap, and break should you not know what you are doing.
Trying to replace or repair your broken screen can cause more harm and end up costing you more money in the long run as you will require more repairs to get your phone fixed.
A professional has the tools and knowledge needed to replace the screen properly and carefully for you.
Broken Power Button
A broken power button can leave you without a way to turn your phone on and off. One DIY method you can try is to clean around the button to remove any sticky substance or debris that may be causing the issue.
If this does not work, it is best to take your phone to a professional to have the button replaced. Trying to make this type of repair on your own can be complicated and you may not install the button properly thus leaving you with a button that still does not work correctly.
Damaged Battery
A damaged battery does not work properly and can leave you with a phone that will not charge or hold a charge. Sometimes, a damaged battery can start to swell or bulge, and this poses a risk to both your phone and you.
It is best to leave a damaged battery alone and take it to a professional for a battery replacement.
