5 Repair

5.1 Repairs require the dismantling of equipment but often the manufacturers design this to be a difficult process requiring some element of force. Although all efforts are made to eliminate superficial damage this may still occur to casings at points of entry.

5.2 Faults can arise from the movement or removal and replacement of other parts of the equipment this will be repaired as part of the process but will be charged at your approval and may cause delay in the completion of the repair.

5.3 Warranty covers the operational effectiveness of your device (for example the calibration of a touchscreen) from the failure of any components supplied and fitted by us only. Any failure of any other components not supplied or fitted by ourselves is not covered by our warranty for example if your screen is replaced on a mobile device and the charger port fails then this repair would not be covered under or warranty.

5.4 While your warranty is effective from date of purchase/repair there are a number of issues that are not covered under the standard warranty –

  1. Accidental damage
    Accidental damage can be described as unintentional physical damage to your product. For example, when you drop your device and crack the screen.
    Even if there is no visible damage on the outside, internal product components could suffer damage because of an accidental drop or impact.
  2. Liquid damage
    Liquid damage is caused by exposing your product to any type of liquids. Water or other liquids can then enter the product and damage the internal components.
  3. Improper handling 
    A product will naturally show signs of wear and tear after being used for some duration of time. Improper handling of a product can speed up the aging process and is not covered by the guarantee. Improper handling often results in physical damage.
  4. Fair wear and tear

5.5 Touch ID home button or the FaceID sensor on a Apple device is removed and transferred over to the new screen during the repair to maintain Touch ID or FaceID functionality of the device however this component is fragile and even though every effort is made to ensure this component is not damaged during the process it is still a possibility that this component may fail to function. In some models the home button itself cannot be replaced to restore any functionality. If this issue arises then only a microsoldering specialist can resolve this at a charge and when agreeing to a repair you are accepting this risk and responsibility of having this issue resolved should it arise.
