The Samsung self-repair program is an important step for the right to repair devices, and it extends their life. It also has a positive impact on the environment as it reduces electronics waste. You can repair parts, including volume buttons, side key, speakers, and the SIM tray, in addition to the displays, batteries, charging ports, and back panels. Galaxy Book owners can replace their speakers, fans, fingerprint readers, and touchpads, among other parts.
However, there are a few things you should know. First, Samsung offers a 90-day limited warranty on genuine repair parts (from the delivery date). Still, the company does not cover the subsequent repair bills if you damage your product while repairing it. Unless you’re confident that you can carefully take apart the required screws, parts, and connectors and replace them in the same positions, following the elaborate guides by iFixit and Samsung Parts, you shouldn’t opt for self-repair.
Instead, you can contact Samsung support and schedule an in-person appointment at your nearest service center. Alternatively, you can order the original parts and take your phone to a trusted local repair shop. If you’ve performed some smartphone or laptop surgeries in the past and think you can handle it, make sure you go through all the support material on the websites, including the step-by-step guides and videos.
