Samsung today has launched Galaxy Self-Repair Program in South Korea, and as the name suggests, users will be able to repair their devices on their own by buying original parts straight from Samsung. The best thing is the press release states that after buying the parts, you can visit the service centers and perform your repairs there, making it actually really convenient since you will have access to all the tools you want.
You can now repair your Galaxy phones, laptops, and Samsung TVs in South Korea and even get paid for it
Now, it is important to understand that Samsung has mentioned that it is just the start of the Galaxy Self-Repair Program, and therefore, the program only has a number of devices with limited parts. However, in the future, the list will be expanded even further.
Currently, Samsung is supporting the Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 series. At the same time, the Galaxy Book Pro series and Samsung TV model numbers; UN32N4000AFXKR, UN32N4010AFXKR, and UN32N4020AFXKR are also supported. You can access the display assembly, the back cover, and charging ports for phones. For the laptops, you are looking at the display, battery, touchpad, fingerprint power button, front case, rear case, and rubber, and for the TVs, you can get access to the panels from the company.
The best thing is that Samsung consumers can check the repair manual and videos on the website, and you can even use the self-repair helper app to ensure that your new replacement is done correctly. Furthermore, you can take the replaced parts to the nearest service center to return the parts, and you will get a refund for doing so.
The Samsung Galaxy Self-Repair Program has been out for some time now, and it is already available in the United States, and now it is available in South Korea. We are hoping that this service extends to other parts of the world so more and more people can benefit from it.
While I am really glad that this service is making its debut, the one obvious thing is that if you do not know how to repair smartphones, I would highly advise against it because the process is delicate, and we don't want you to ruin your smartphone in the process.
