Samsung Galaxy Tab Repair in Merced: Screen, Battery & Charging Port

Samsung Galaxy Tabs are the tablets kids use for school, families share on the couch, and people take to work. That means they get dropped, charged with worn-out cables and used for years. Here is what usually goes wrong with a Galaxy Tab and how Samsung tablet repair works at ART & FIX.

Galaxy Tab screen repair

A cracked screen is the most common Samsung tablet repair we see. What needs to be replaced depends on what you see:

• Cracked glass, clear picture, touch works. The damage may be mostly in the top glass.
• Lines, black areas, flicker or no picture. The display under the glass is damaged, so the full screen assembly is replaced.
• Touch not working in one area, or the tablet presses itself. The touch layer is damaged, which usually also means a screen replacement.

Many Galaxy Tab S models use AMOLED displays, which cost more to replace than the LCD screens on most Galaxy Tab A models. Our estimate range for tablet front screen repair is $49 – $399, depending on the model.

Galaxy Tab battery replacement

Replace the battery when the tablet dies quickly, shuts off with charge left, or only works plugged in. Stop using the tablet and bring it in if the screen lifts from the frame or the back bulges: that is a swollen battery, and it should not be charged. Tablet battery replacement is $69 – $149.

Galaxy Tab charging port repair

If the cable feels loose, the tablet charges only at an angle, or it says “charging” but the percentage does not go up, the USB-C port may be full of lint or worn out. We check and clean the port first, and replace it only if it is damaged. Charging port repair for tablets is $49 – $139. Try another cable and charger before you come in.

Other Samsung tablet repairs

• Cameras: rear camera $49 – $179, front camera $39 – $129
• Buttons, speakers and microphones
• Water damage: turn the tablet off and bring it in. Read our water damage first steps.

All ranges are also on our pricing page. We also repair iPads, Lenovo Tab and other Android tablets. See our iPad and tablet repair page.

Before you bring it in
