Yes, in most cases smartphones use a composite multi-part display and many issues due to a drop can be corrected with a display replacement. 

If the actual screen of the device has dark spots, appears to be "bleeding", has dead pixels, or solid color lines then  the LCD has suffered irreversible damage and will need to be replaced. 

With most smartphones the display is a multi-part optically laminated unit. This means that a display replacement will often include everything dealing with the touch response, display picture, and cosmetics.  

No, but you can include your own (pre-paid) return shipping label if you wish.

The simply answer is no, we don't need it.  The more complicated answer is if there is a pass code on the equipment it hinders our ability to test some functions of the device. We suggest providing your pass code with the device when you send it in for repair.

If you do not wish to provide your pass code, certain equipment functions including but not limited to; camera, WiFi, Mic, Speaker, and bluetooth cannot be tested beyond "hardware presence" and cannot be guaranteed.

While it's handy to have your active sim card in the device it's not required. If you have a backup phone or tablet that can be used with your active sim card please feel free to keep it until the repairs are completed.

For mail-in services all payments are made securely online using one of our approved processors.  If you are uncomfortable shopping online you also have the choice of visiting one of our repair locations in person.

Please pack your device in a proper box or reinforced mailer.  Please do not ship it in the original box as it is not necessary as long as it's packaged safely.  After proper packaging simply ship it with the carrier of your choosing to our mail in service location.  We suggest using USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping.

Most phone repair can be a difficult and tedious task. If you do not have any experience working on small electronic devices it is not recommended that you attempt the repair yourself. Many customers who purchase parts online and attempting  a first time smartphone repair end up causing further damage to the phone or not properly completing the repair.   Sometimes even small errors can fatally damage smartphones beyond repair. For these reasons we wouldn't suggest you experiment on any device that has important data.

We offer a full 90 Day Warranty for all parts used and specific labor performed in repairing your device.

For Walk-In customers the warranty period starts the day the repair ordered is completed.

For Mail-In customers the warranty period starts 5 days after the device was shipped back to you. We ship all devices via USPS Day Priority Mail with Tracking and Signature required. In most cases you will receive your device 1-3 days after shipping. Please note that you are responsible for signing for your device or picking it up from your local post office if they can not obtain a signature when attempting to deliver.

The Warranty period can not be extended due to delayed pickup of your device from the Retail Location you dropped it off at or delays in signing for your device from the Post Office. If you have a special circumstance that prevents you from picking up your device please let us know when submitting it for repair and we will do our best to accommodate the situation or provide further guidance.

Cellular & Laptop Repair Centers, Inc. (CLRC) only warranties the specific work performed in conjunction with the specific parts to be replaced / repaired for a period of 90 days after the repairs are completed

it's important to point out that our 90 Day Warranty IS NOT insurance. This means that any Physical damaged to the device or the part we installed or if the device is opened by any other shop after our repairs are completed VOIDS our warranty.

CLRC offers very affordable Glass Break Protection Plans (accidental damage protection plans) for Glass Touch Screens on many of the devices we repair. You have the option of purchasing those plans at the time of your repair. Please give it some consideration before you pick up your device.
