Samsung and iFixit started selling replacement parts through a self-service repair program

Samsung and iFixit launched a self-service repair program for Galaxy devices, which was announced this spring. As part of the program, the user will be able to independently repair Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 smartphones or Galaxy Tab S7+ tablet by purchasing original components and certified tools on the iFixit website along with repair manuals.

At first, the choice of components will be small – screens, batteries, charging ports and back panels. Prices range from $67 for a charging port for any model to $227 for a display for the Tab S7+.

The kit includes a free return invoice that will allow you to send defective parts to a Samsung service for recycling. The self-repair program is currently limited to the United States, but will expand over time. The list of devices that can be repaired with your help, as well as the range of parts offered, will also be expanded.

It should also be noted that the self-repair program does not currently apply to Galaxy S22 or Tab S8 family devices. In this case, Samsung recommends users to contact dedicated device repair services.
