Top 10 Repair Tips
- Keep your proof of purchase - Nokia and Samsung offer 24 month manufacturers warranty on their handsets, but reduced warranty times on accessories.
- Do not attempt a DIY repair. If a phone shows evidence that it has been dismantled the warranty will be void.
- Don’t get liquid or moisture near your phone. FoneFix are unable to repair liquid damage phones.
- Regularly back up your data – During the repair process, any data stored on the handset will be lost. We therefore recommend that you regularly back up any content to a PC or memory card. Contacts can also be saved to the sim card.
- Physical damage such as cracked LCD is not covered by the manufacturers warranty and will be subject to a chargeable repair.
- Always take your mobile phone to an accredited repair centre to guarantee parts used on the repair are genuine manufacturer’s parts.
- Regular updating of your phones software by FoneFix will maximise your phones capabilities such as longer battery life and improved execution speeds.
- To extend your phones battery life switch off phone applications when not in use.
- If your mobile phone gets exchanged by the manufacturer and you have phone insurance. Remember to advise your insurance company of the change of imei handset number.
- According to Nokia only three per cent of the population recycles their mobile phones despite the fact that most have old devices lying around at home. A large chunk of people just don’t realise that you can put your old handsets to good use. If every one of the 1 billion+ Nokia users recycled just one unused phone at the end of its life-cycle, more than 80,000 tonnes of raw materials would be saved. FoneFix is a Nokia recycle point for the disposal of old mobile phones.
