Samsung “fix it yourself” program
Samsung and iFixit have started selling spare parts for certain Galaxy smartphone and tablet models. Users are also provided with guides on how to repair their devices.
Which models does it cover?
Currently, users in the USA can repair their smartphones or tablets themselves by purchasing officially approved parts and tool kits, but this program covers certain models. If you have one of the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus models and you live in the USA and of course, if you have experience, you can save the trouble of going to the service and waiting for a while by ordering the original parts directly.
Which parts can be replaced?
Samsung’s “fix it yourself” program includes certain parts of certain devices. You can replace the screen, battery, charging port and rear glass. Comes with free return label kits to help you send your items back to Samsung for recycling. The self-repair program is currently limited to the United States, but the device and parts repair program is expected to expand to more countries.
Apple is limiting its repair kits to smartphones under its fix it yourself program, but the repair program covers a wider range of components such as the camera, SIM slot and is more detailed; You can even order screws. The good thing about Samsung’s fix-it-yourself program is; You do not need to purchase a separate tool kit and you do not have to contact the manufacturer to complete the repair process.
The self-repair option does not currently cover the Galaxy S22 and Tab S8 series. According to Samsung’s statement, users will be able to purchase parts and tool kits for screen, back glass and charging port replacements through iFixit and Samsung retail and service points.
