In a nutshell, we have a long list of smartphone companies, but only one company dominates the entire industry. Given the long queue, that company must be Samsung. They deal in a wide range of products and never compromise on quality. Their goal is to offer their users the best possible experience when it comes to smartphones, TVs, and other electronic appliances.
In addition to maintaining quality, Samsung is renowned for its unique innovation. For example, Samsung introduced the Fold and Flip Smartphone, the first curved smartphone, and many more. Similarly, they came up with another unique feature that allows users to repair their smartphones themselves. So let’s take a closer look at what Samsung has introduced.
Samsung launches a self-repair program in South Korea
Do you remember August 2022, when Samsung introduced a self-repair program for US Samsung users to repair their own Galaxy Smartphones and Tabs? At that time, they collaborated with iFixit, a leading American e-commerce platform that sells repair parts, to run the self-repair program. You will be surprised to know that the pricing for that program is the same as what they provide to their affiliate repair providers.
Again, on the same terms and with the same collaboration with iFixit, Samsung expanded their self-repair program to South Korea. They started offering the service here from May 30th. However, this time the devices on which self-service repair is available are the Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 series in smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Book (15 Inch) note series and 32-inch TV.
You can repair three Galaxy TV models yourself. After reading this, you might be wondering, “If I also have a Samsung device, how can I fix it?” Samsung and iFixit have created complete repair procedures that you can learn and follow on their website. It might be confusing to know which devices and components can be repaired, so here is a table to help you understand things.
| Device | Component To be Repair |
|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy S20 series | Display Back cover Charging Port Touchpad Fingerprint Embedded Power button |
| Samsung Galaxy S21 Series | Display Back cover Charging Port Touchpad Fingerprint Embedded Power button |
| Samsung Galaxy S22 Series | Display Back cover Charging Port Touchpad Fingerprint Embedded Power button |

| Galaxy TV (32-Inch) with models- UN32N4000AFXKRUN32N4010AFXKRUN32N4020AFXKR | Panel can be replaced for all three models of Samsung TV |
Now you have learned about which Samsung devices you can self-repair and which components you can purchase and repair. However, one concern that comes to mind is how the bad components from our Samsung devices are recycled. Note that recovered parts are either recycled or disposed of under Samsung Electronics Inspection. When you replace the new part, make sure to optimize it with the Samsung helper app.
If you have performed a self-repair on your Samsung device, then return the self-repair tools/replaced parts to Samsung via courier and receive a refund of the deposit you made when you received the repair tools. Samsung aims to provide its consumers with the best service for a long time. Meanwhile, you can learn how to fix your own Galaxy device. However, presently this service is limited, but in the near future, it will surely expand.
