The most common cell phone repairs made easy-from broken screens to replacing batteries.

Cell phones are more than just gadgets; they’re lifelines to our friends, families, and entertainment. It’s little surprise, then, that situations-screen breaks, problems with the battery-tend to be some of the most frustrating. Fortunately, these common problems sometimes do not necessarily insinuate that you will have to buy a brand-new phone. Many of these fixes can be surprisingly straightforward with just a little bit of know-how.

Broken Phone Screens

We’ve all been there: your phone slips from your hand, goes face down, and the screen is shattered. There really isn’t a worse feeling. Don’t freak out. Replacing or fixing a broken screen is a project you can do with a little patience and the right stuff.

1. Damage Assessment

Take a closer look at the damage before jumping in and starting to repair. Small cracks can be more cosmetic than functional, whereas a screen shattered or otherwise nonresponsive will want replacement. If your phone is operational regardless of the cracks, you may want to use it gingerly until you get a chance to repair it.

2. DIY Screen Replacement

If you’re feeling up to do this yourself, here’s a general rundown of what to do:

– Power Down: Safety first-reach in and turn off your phone so you don’t get any electrical mishaps.

– Remove the Back Cover: This will involve unscrewing small screws or, depending on the construction of your phone, you may want to pry this cover off.
– Disconnect Battery: Finally, disconnect the battery if you don’t want any accidental short circuits when working with the phone.

– Removing Broken Screen: Carefully pry the broken screen off. Sometimes, if heated a little with a hairdryer, the adhesive should loosen enough to make the process simpler.

Installation of a new screen: Place the new screen on the phone and align it. Replace the battery, snap back the back cover, and power it on to test if everything is working as it should.

3. Professional Repair Services

If you are not confident about doing it yourself, then there’s nothing over which to worry: You should get your phone fixed from professional repair services. Most of the manufacturing companies and third-party repair shops offer screen replacement services, and mostly give a warranty.

Battery Replacements

Other common problems involve dead batteries. Yes, over time, batteries do deteriorate and result in frustratingly short life or even unexpected shutdowns. You may give your phone a new lease on life by replacing the battery.

1. How to Spot Battery Problems

Here’s what to look for:

Rapid Drain: Your phone’s battery is depleting much quicker than it has in the past.
Overheating: The phone gets abnormally warm, especially during use or charging.
Swollen Battery: In such situations, should the battery begin swelling, then that is a condition of utmost danger and seriousness.

2. DIY Battery Replacement

If that is something you are comfortable with, here is a general procedure:

– Switch Off: Always, power off your phone first.

– Open the Phone: For some phones this would require removing some screws while for others, one needs to pry the back cover open.

– Extract the Old Battery: Safely disconnect the old battery from its internal connectors inside the phone.

– Place the New Battery and Secure It: Place the new battery inside your phone and connect it to the internal connectors.

– Reassemble: Put the back cover again, switch on your phone, and check whether the newly replaced battery is working fine.

3. Professional Help

If DIY is just not your thing, or if the phone is still under warranty, then it’d be really wise to seek professional help. That would ensure that it’s done right, since most repair shops and every authorized service center can do this service for battery replacement.
