Samsung just announced that they are giving some Galaxy owners the tools and skills to fix common smartphone and tablet issues. The company has teamed up with iFixit to start a self-repair program, complete with official tools and replacement parts. Unsplash / Daniel Romero Here is how it works.
Those who wish to make their own repairs can head to Samsung's self-repair splash page and purchase consumer-friendly tools and official replacement parts. These parts are sold at cost, and Samsung is also providing official repair guides for a suite of common problems, complete with visual and written step-by-step instructions. For their part, iFixit is opening various online forums for Samsung customers, so people can ask questions to "better understand specific actions necessary to complete a self-repair." Samsung genuine parts are now available for Galaxy S20, S21, and Tab S7+ models, with increased availability over time.
