Hi, I'm Ollie!

For many people, a cell phone serves as a lifeline to the outside world. Mobile phones are used for more than just calling and texting, many people conduct important business online and check their inbox messages from their cell phones regularly. There are few things more inconvenient than a cracked screen on your cell phone.

If you are planning to have your screen repaired by a third party service provider, here are three tips that you can use to ensure the quality of the repair.

1. Ask about the quality of the replacement screens.

Anytime you replace an original factory component, there is the possibility that the replacement part will be substandard to the original. If you want to ensure that your new screen will perform properly and be as durable as possible, it's important that you ask about the quality of the screen.

Paying a little extra for a screen whose thickness and sensitivity are close to the original manufacturer's specifications ensures that you will be able to use your phone without noticeable changes once a new screen has been installed.

2. Ask about the testing process.

Before your phone is returned to you with a new screen in tow, it needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that everything is working properly once the repair has been made. Before you choose to partner with a third party service provider for your new screen, you should take the time to ask about the testing process.

Ask how many employees will test the phone before it is returned to you. Having multiple individuals test the function and fit of your new screen will increase the likelihood of having potential problems (like a sticking home button or LCD burnout) identified before they interfere with your user experience.

3. Ask about a warranty.

Screen replacements can be quite costly, so you want to ensure that your investment is protected. Ask any third party service provider about the coverage provided by a warranty before investing in a new screen.

Most companies are willing to offer short-term free replacement for a screen that sustains damage during normal use. You also want to be sure that the warranty covers any malfunctions you may notice once you begin using your phone after the screen has been replaced.

When you take the time to ask about screen quality, testing procedures, and available warranties, you will be sure to get a replacement screen for your cell phone that will allow for maximum use. For more information, talk to a professional like those at Quick Fix Smartphone & Tablet Repair.
