In most cases we are able to provide warranty services for all represented manufacturer devices that have been sold within the European Union and European Economic Area. Almost all manufacturers divide their devices by regions, each device has its own unique serial number (IMEI code) that is tied to a specific country, which showcases the intended sales region.
The necessary things for submitting a mobile phone for warranty service are – valid purchase document, battery and the phone itself. If the device has issues with accessories, for example, earphones are not working or the device is not charging, it is advised to submit the device with accessories (charger or earphones).
For most smartphones glass screen, touchscreen panel and the display module are provided as one part, where all the components are assembled by the manufacturer. Due to this reason, it is not possible for the service centre to replace only a singular component. The components are provided as one part as only the manufacturer has the necessary technologies that allow to provide quality part assembly to ensure the peak touchscreen performance.
Replacement of the battery is dependent on the way the phone is built, in most cases the battery is glued to the screen or back cover, if it is necessary to separate the battery from the glued part during disassembly it is dangerous to re-use the part as it can become deformed and such battery has a greater risk of ignition, which can lead to accidents. To ensure device safety, some of the leading phone manufacturers provide free battery replacement also for out-of-warranty repairs, if a repair is being carried out by an authorized service centre.
In order to perform diagnostics for smartphones it is necessary to perform factory reset, in this way the diagnostics results are not affected by customer’s data or any third-party applications.

If the customer device has important personal data (gallery, contacts etc.) it is necessary to save it before the repair or request paid service of data saving when submitting the device for repair.
Disabling the function is a requirement from the manufacturer, this is how they make sure that the person who submits the device for service is the owner of the device.
