Frequently Asked Questions - The Truth
Absolutely safe when performed by specialists with the right equipment. We use controlled temperatures of 60-80°C, well below the damage threshold of internal components (85-95°C). We have completed many successful repairs without any damage to the display.
The cost is lower because we don't replace the expensive OLED/LCD display (which costs €200-300), but only the protective glass (material cost €15-25). The remaining cost covers the specialized labor and professional equipment.
No! That’s the big advantage. You keep 100% of your original Samsung/Apple display, the authentic sensors, Face ID/Touch ID and all functionality. We only replace the outer protective glass.
The process takes 3-5 hours of hands-on 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.
We provide a 12-month warranty for the repair – the same we offer for a full screen replacement. We cover glass detachment, touch issues and any defect from the repair. We do not cover new drops or impacts.
Screen 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” option of a full screen replacement, which is more profitable for them.
