Repair advice

Should you repair or replace your device?

Repair is often better if the device is still fast, supported and only has one main fault.

Repair may be worth it if

  • The device is still fast enough for daily use.
  • The fault is limited to screen, battery, charging, keyboard or another clear part.
  • Your data, apps and setup would take time to move.
  • The repair cost is sensible compared with replacement value.

Replacement may be better if

  • The device has several major faults.
  • It no longer receives important software/security updates.
  • Board-level damage is severe or repeated.
  • The repair cost is close to the value of a replacement.
