Common Repairs
Here are some of the most common repairs that we provide for Android devices
Broken/Cracked Screen
Every Android Phone user knows how much of a hassle it is when the screen breaks on their phone. As tied as we are to our devices, a cracked screen can ruin our entire day and there isn’t much we can do to alleviate that feeling; from the heart-stopping moment that it slips out of our hands or slides off a counter to the moment it is returned to us by a technician that has replaced it, a little part of ourselves breaks with it.
There is hardly a phone on the market that is resistant to this kind of damage. From the least expensive Android phone up to the latest and most extravagant ones on the market, Android phones from all manufacturers take a beating daily. Once a screen is cracked, no matter how significant, the problems can get worse and worse over time. Although you may be able to use the phone with a minor crack, it’s only a matter of time before that crack spreads and takes over more of the display eventually making it fairly useless and extremely frustrating.
Physically broken screens aren’t always the reason why your display could stop working. Typically made up of two parts, the screen assembly has a touchscreen (the glass) on the front with the LCD (the displayed images) behind it. When an Android phone screen stops responding to touch or acts as if it is being touched when it isn’t, the touchscreen may be faulty. If the image behind the touchscreen looks distorted, all black or all white, or if colored lines are running through it horizontally or vertically, the LCD may have issues in which it would need to be replaced altogether. All Android phones are susceptible to this type of damage. Examples of some Android phone manufacturers are as follows:
- Samsung
- LG
- Motorola
- OnePlus
- ZTE
- Kyocera
- Revvl
- TCL
In almost all cases, either or both components making up the display failing means the disassembly and replacement of both as a whole unit. The touchscreen and LCD panels are so extremely thin that they are shipped and replaced as an entire assembly.
The fragility and delicateness of the panels require precision disassembly by a properly trained technician to ensure that all the other components within are not damaged in the process. Android phone manufacturers have designed their phones in such a way that there is not much room inside for movement by any components to reduce the risk of damage from shock or drops. That being said, Android phones should not be disassembled by anyone that has not been adequately trained to work on them.
The technicians at Computers Plus Repair Center have replaced the screen assemblies on every version and model of Android phones from the time our shop first opened over 17 years ago a couple of years before the very first Android phone even hit the market. The extremely high success rate of screen replacement for Android phones is the reason why every repaired phone leaves the shop with a 90-day warranty on the parts and labor so if there are any defects, we will make it right for you.
Charging Issues
As constantly as Android phones are used by their owners daily, any problem when it comes to charging can wreak havoc and disrupt routines. A battery that isn’t holding a charge for very long can slow us down, cause us to be tied to a wall at times that are less than convenient, and, in some cases, can be dangerous in times of emergency.
Properly diagnosing a charging issue on any Android phone can be tricky because so many different components make up the entire charging system. The easiest part to diagnose is the charger itself. Made up of two components, the charger can be faulty because of the A/C adapter or the cable that connects it to the phone. The most common of troubleshooting techniques by any Android phone owner, trying a different charger is always the first step in determining a power issue.
When replacing the charger for an Android phone fails to get it working properly, the issue could be much more complex, unfortunately. A dirty or damaged charging port is the next, most common issue.
Quick cleaning of the port can be attempted but extreme caution is advised because the small, delicate pins within the port on any Android phone can be damaged if too much pressure is applied to them, making it completely useless. Blowing out of the port with some compressed air and loosening any dirt or lint that may have accumulated inside is about all that can be done to try and clear out anything that may be preventing the charging cable from making good contact.
After ensuring that the charging port is also clear and free of internal obstructions, consulting a properly trained technician is highly recommended. Computers Plus Repair Center is equipped and our technicians have years of experience disassembling the small and fragile components inside of any Android phone, no matter the model, version, or generation.
If the replacement of the charging port or battery is necessary to get your Android phone up and running again, you can count on Computers Plus Repair Center to get you an accurate and reasonable quote on any parts needed quickly and efficiently.
Liquid Damage Repair
As much as Android phones have become such a huge part of the lives of so many people, accidents are bound to happen from time to time. Whether it is dropped into water or some other liquid is spilled onto it, the potential for the phone to never act the same way again is pretty high.
Most newer generation Android phones are built with a certain level of water resistance enabling them to withstand small spills or dips into the pool but this resistance is not intended for long durations of exposure to liquid. Any other flaws that an Android phone may have before being wet or having been previously repaired will leave the device susceptible to damage it was originally designed to withstand. A cracked screen or back cover on an Android phone negates the water resistance because new openings and vulnerabilities are created that way.
The complete disassembly of an Android phone that is thought to be damaged by liquid is the first step in trying to repair any damage caused by it. At Computers Plus Repair Center, we use state-of-the-art tools and equipment to safely disassemble and extract the components most vulnerable to damage caused by liquid and then thoroughly clean them and any corrosion or oxidation that may prevent the device from working properly.
The success rate for the liquid damage treatment process is not as high as many other more common repairs, unfortunately. Many factors can contribute to the efficacy of the process such as:
- The extent of any prior physical damage
- The amount of time the Android phone spent in or was exposed to the liquid
- The amount of time that has gone by since the exposure
- How much the Android phone was used since it got wet
Computers Plus Repair Center in El Paso, Texas is always ready to explain all your options when dealing with an Android phone that is suspected to be damaged by liquid. Our team is thoroughly trained to identify the signs of liquid damage and catch it early enough in the diagnostic process to provide you with an accurate quote as soon as possible after bringing your Android phone into our shop.
Software Issues
Google (the Android phone operating system developer) has a stellar track record when it comes to solid software in their phones but on occasion, issues can present themselves that cannot be fixed by just simply turning it off and back on again. With the almost constant barrage of updates sent out by Google for all supported Android phones to address security and bug issues, some of them are bound to install incorrectly or end up corrupting the system. Luckily, some steps can be taken to get your Android phone back up and running.
The Android phone operating system is owned by Google; reference to an Android phone is simply that, a phone running that operating system. New versions of the operating system developed by Google are sent out to the various manufacturers and service providers before being distributed to all the different versions of Android phones but because of all the different hands that go into the process, software issues are almost inevitable.
Most of the newer Android phones on the market are built with some level of water resistance so some software issues can be harder to tackle than others. Sometimes, to get an Android phone out of a boot loop or fix one that has frozen and will not respond, the only thing you got to do is disconnect and reconnect the battery.
For a simple task on any other phone, the various manufacturers develop and build their devices so that the phone has to be disassembled to do it and should only be attempted by a properly trained technician.
At Computers Plus Repair Center, issues of all types when it comes to Android phones, no matter the model or manufacturer, is a routine orders. Our shop has been around since before the inception of the first Android phone so a thorough and complete understanding of the devices is held by the technicians at our shop.
