Samsung embraces DIY phone repair in Europe and the UK

“Galaxy customers who wish to make their own device repairs can access the tools they need, including repair kits and genuine Samsung parts,” said the company. “The program supports repairs to Galaxy S20, S21 and S22 products, as well as the 15.6in Galaxy Book Pro and 15.6in Galaxy Book Pro 360.”

For the UK, France, Germany and Poland, Samsung is collaborating with German parts distributor ASWO.

Kits for phone screens, back glasses and charging ports will be available. “Customers can purchase display assemblies that consist of the phone screen, metal frame, bezel and battery to replace the display,” said Samsung, warning: “Customers with swollen batteries should not attempt self-repair, and can visit any Samsung retail location for professional repair services.”

Galaxy Book Pro kits include: case front, case rear, display, battery, touchpad, fingerprint-enabled power key and rubber feet.

“Samsung is committed to expanding its Self-Repair program in the near future to include more devices, repair tools, manuals and markets,” it added.
