Is it better to repair or replace a phone?

This depends on the cost of the repair compared to the value of the phone and how old the phone is.

Repairs by unauthorized service providers can void your warranty. It’s best to check your warranty terms and use authorized repair centers.

Can water-damaged phones be fixed?

Many water-damaged phones can be repaired, but success depends on the extent of the damage. It’s crucial to take the phone to iFixYouri for water damage repair service as soon as possible. Do not try to charge or plug in the phone to power it up.

Check the charging cable and adapter first. If those are working, the problem may be with the charging port or the battery, which would need professional repair. iFixYouri replaces charging ports on virtually any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

How can I protect my phone after repair?
