Samsung phone repair in Newmarket: screens, batteries and green lines

Common Samsung problems we see

• Cracked screen. Usually about an hour. Curved-edge models take a bit longer. See Samsung screen repair.
• A green or pink line down the screen. This is a display fault, often after an update or a small drop. It won't fix itself. See what the Samsung green line means.
• Battery drains fast or the back is lifting. A swollen battery pushes the back glass up. Stop charging it and bring it in. See signs your battery needs replacing.
• Won't charge or only charges at an angle. Often lint in the port. Sometimes the port itself. See charging port repair.
• Cracked back glass. See back glass repair.

Why Samsung screens cost more than you'd think

On most Galaxy phones the screen comes attached to the frame and battery area, so the part is bigger and more expensive than a basic iPhone screen. Ask any shop whether they're using a full original-style screen or a lower-cost one, and how the brightness and fingerprint sensor compare.

If the repair costs more than half of what the phone is worth, it may be time to replace it. See repair or replace.

Before you bring it in

• Back it up. See how to back up a Samsung or other Android phone.
• Know your PIN or pattern. We test the screen, fingerprint sensor, cameras and calls after the repair.
• Frozen phone? Try a force restart first.
