Tablets travel everywhere: lecture halls, train journeys to Inverness, long nights offshore, the back of the car on a family trip. That means plenty of drops and spills. Whether yours has cracked glass, a battery that won’t last a film or a port that won’t charge, our counter in the St Nicholas Centre can repair it.
Drop it off before you shop and collect it on your way home.
FoneTech Aberdeen
A tablet’s screen is glued firmly to a thin frame, so opening one without cracking anything takes patience. We use controlled heat, suction cups and plastic tools rather than brute force, which matters most when fitting a large new display or a replacement battery. You’ll get a firm price before we begin.
Here are the tablet faults we fix most often. If yours isn’t listed, send us a message describing it and we’ll tell you whether we can help.
Cracked glass or a touchscreen that’s stopped responding, fixed with a correct replacement and tested across the whole display.
New batteries for tablets that won’t make it through the day or shut down with charge left.
Keyboard covers that won’t type and unresponsive side buttons on the tablet itself put right.
Loose, dirty or damaged ports cleaned or replaced, then charging tested.
Juice, rain or bath water inside? The tablet is opened up and cleaned quickly, and any part the liquid has ruined is replaced.
A tablet that freezes, an update stuck halfway, or adverts popping up from nowhere can usually be sorted without wiping it. We protect your pictures and documents wherever possible and get it running properly again.
However your tablet ended up broken, bring it in and we’ll talk you through the fix. Glass replacements are often quick, whereas water damage needs a closer look inside. Either way, you’ll know the price and the likely turnaround before work starts.
Got a laptop or phone that needs attention too? Bring everything at once and save yourself an extra trip into the city centre.
FAQ
For screens and batteries, repair almost always costs far less. We'll quote upfront so you can weigh it up.
It depends on the model. Some use separate glass; others need the full laminated assembly. We'll explain which applies.
Screen, battery and port work leaves your data alone, but a backup first is always sensible.
Yes, as well as most iPads. Parts availability for other brands varies, so ask.
The port could be packed with lint or worn, or the cell itself may be past its best. We'll test it to find out which.
Very likely. Cracked glass and dented corners are among our most frequent tablet repairs.
