Frequently Asked Questions - The Truth

Is glass replacement really safe?

Absolutely safe when performed by specialists with proper equipment. We use controlled temperature of 60-80°C, well below the damage threshold of internal components (85-95°C). We've completed thousands of successful repairs without screen damage.

How can it cost so much less?

The cost is lower because we don't replace the expensive OLED/LCD screen (which costs €200-300), but only the protective glass (material cost €15-25). The remaining cost covers specialized labor and professional equipment.

Will my device lose its authenticity?

No! That's the major advantage. You keep 100% of the original Samsung/Apple screen, authentic sensors, Face ID/Touch ID, and all functions. We only replace the external protective glass.

How long does the repair take?

The process takes 3-5 hours of pure work, but we usually deliver the next business day to allow time for quality control and testing. In urgent cases, we can complete it the same day.

What warranty do you provide?

We provide a 12-month warranty for the repair - the same we give for full screen replacement. We cover glass detachment, touch problems, and any defects from the repair. We don't cover new drops or impacts.

Why don't all shops do this?

Glass replacement requires specialized equipment (autoclave, OCA laminator, screen separator) costing €8,000-15,000, specialized knowledge, and extensive experience. Many shops prefer the "easy" solution of full screen replacement which is more profitable for them.
