The process

Phone repair process: measure first, price after.

No guesswork quotes and no repair without your approval. Many repairs are finished in 30–60 minutes – you can wait for it.

Here is how a repair works with us: you bring or send the device, we establish what is actually broken, and we name a fixed price. Nothing is repaired until you agree. The same applies to phones, tablets, notebooks and games consoles.

The phone repair process runs in this order on purpose, because most expensive bad repairs start with a guess: a device will not charge, so the charging port gets replaced – and afterwards it still will not charge, because the fault was on the board. That is why we measure first.

Two ways

In store or by post.

You decide how your device reaches us. It makes no difference to the outcome: the phone repair process is the same either way.

Step by step

The phone repair process.

Five steps, with two points where you decide: after the diagnosis, and whenever something changes.

01

Message us or just walk in

Send us a WhatsApp message describing what happened – a photo helps. Or walk into Turmstraße 79 without an appointment. Not in Berlin? Send the device in instead.

A photo is enough
02

Diagnosis instead of guesswork

We inspect under the microscope and on the lab power supply. Where a board fault is likely, we measure the current draw instead of swapping parts on suspicion.

29 €, credited
03

A fixed price before anything happens

You get the part, the labour and the time in writing – on the spot in store, usually within 24 hours for mail-in repairs. Only your approval starts the work.

You decide
04

Repair with original parts

Many module replacements take 30 to 60 minutes, so you can wait for it. Micro-soldering work on the mainboard takes 1 to 3 working days.

30–60 minutes
05

Function test and handover

We test what we repaired and everything attached to it: touch, sensors, cameras, charging, audio. Then collection or insured return shipping.

Preparation

What to bring along.

These small things often decide whether a repair is finished the same day or whether we have to call you back.

  • ✓Your unlock code – without it we cannot test the device afterwards
  • ✓A current backup, if you are able to make one
  • ✓Accessories only if they relate to the fault, such as the charging cable
  • ✓Proof of purchase, in case a manufacturer warranty still applies
  • ✓What exactly happened – dropped, wet, after an update
  • ✓Take out the SIM and memory card if you need them

Please avoid

  • ×Charging or switching on after water contact
  • ×Rice, hairdryers or radiators for drying
  • ×Installing recovery apps when data is missing
  • ×A factory reset or a reinstall on suspicion
  • ×Loose batteries in the parcel

Full control

We ask first. Then we repair.

Sometimes the real picture only shows once the device is open. At that point it is not our call – it is yours.

Case 01

A second fault turns up

Typical: a swollen battery underneath a cracked display. We stop, call you with the new price and only carry on once you approve.

We ask first
Case 02

The spare part is unavailable

This happens with older models. We give you a realistic waiting time or a tested alternative – your device will not sit here untouched for weeks.

Your choice
Case 03

The repair is not worth it

If the damage exceeds what the device is worth, we say so openly – even when it costs us the job. After that: data recovery, trade-in, or simply take it home.

Honest advice
Case 04

The repair does not succeed

With micro-soldering on the mainboard that can never be ruled out. If it fails, we do not charge for it. You will hear what we measured and where it went wrong.

No charge
Our promise No extra work and no higher cost without checking with you first.
01We find something → 02We call you → 03You decide

Your data

Your device stays your device.

We do not look through your content. A function test checks whether touch, camera, microphone and charging work – nobody has to open your photos or messages for that.

  • ✓No reset without your approval
  • ✓Only the access we actually need
  • ✓Function checks, not your content
  • ✓Deletion after a data recovery, in writing on request
Our tip: even though your data survives most repairs – make a backup beforehand. With water damage and mainboard work nobody can guarantee that data is kept.
PROTECTED No reset without your approval Backup advised for anything important Function test only not your content

Transparency

Time, cost, warranty.

A fixed price covers the fault we diagnosed. It does not change because the repair took longer – only if a new fault appears, and then only once you agree.

Common questions

Still unclear?

Answers to what we are asked most often about the process, the time it takes, your data and the cost.

Your question is not here?

Send us a short message or a photo of the damage on WhatsApp.

Ask on WhatsApp
01

Do I need an appointment?

No. You can walk into Turmstraße 79 during opening hours. A quick call first still pays off: we can check whether the part for your model is in stock, which decides whether you can wait for it or have to come back.

02

How long does a repair take?

A display swap, a battery change or a charging port is usually done in 30 to 60 minutes, provided the part is in stock. Board-level work on the mainboard takes 1 to 3 working days; water damage takes longer, because cleaning and drying need time.

03

What does the diagnosis cost?

29 € – and it is free as soon as you go ahead with the repair. If you decide against it, the 29 € stand and you get a written assessment you can also hand to an insurer.

04

Can the price go up later?

Not without your consent. The fixed price covers the fault we diagnosed. If a second fault shows up once the device is open, we stop, call you and wait for your decision.

05

Do I have to unlock my device?

We need access for the function test. You can give us the code, or unlock it yourself at handover and go through the tests with us. For a data recovery the code is technically required.

06

Will I lose my data?

Not with a normal parts replacement. We never reset anything without your explicit approval. We still recommend your own backup – above all before mainboard work and after water damage.

07

What if the repair is not worth it?

Then we say so. You pay for the diagnosis and decide freely: have it repaired elsewhere, go for data recovery instead, or sell it to us – we take faulty devices too.

08

Do I get original spare parts?

Where they are available, yes. We are an Apple Independent Repair Provider and a Samsung Independent Repair Partner. For older devices original parts are not always available; we then offer tested alternatives and state that in the quote.

09

How do I pay?

In store after the repair, and before return shipping for mail-in repairs. On request with VAT shown separately – for companies and insurers.

10

How do I send my device in?

Register it through our repair request, then pack it securely and insured. Insured return shipping within Germany costs 7.99 €.

11

What does the warranty cover?

12 months on the part we fitted and on our work. New drop and moisture damage is excluded – that is, anything that happens after the repair.

12

Do you repair for companies and workshops?

Yes. For larger volumes and subcontracted work there are separate terms – just get in touch.

Get started

Not sure what is wrong with it?

Describe briefly what happened – that is where the phone repair process starts. We will tell you up front what is most likely behind it. It becomes binding after the diagnosis.
