Two minutes
Three things that change the outcome of a tablet repair โ especially after a drop or a spill. None of them require tools.
Power it off immediately if liquid got inside. Charging pushes current through corroded paths and can turn a recoverable tablet into board-level damage.
If the screen is lifting away from the frame on its own, the battery is almost certainly expanding. Don't ignore it โ swollen batteries are a safety concern, not a cosmetic one.
If the tablet still powers on and responds to touch, back up photos, messages and documents before you bring it in โ especially after drops or liquid exposure.
Common iPad symptom: touch only works in certain areas of the screen. That points to digitizer or connector damage โ not a software bug. A factory reset won't fix it.
What we fix
A cracked screen gets the most attention, but it is far from the only failure we see. A "charging problem" is often a failing battery. "Ghost touches" are often a bent frame pressing on the digitizer cable. We diagnose the whole failure path so the fix addresses the cause.
Cracked glass, LCD bleed, colour lines, black spots, dead zones, phantom touches and screens lifting from bent frames or adhesive failure. We match the exact digitizer and LCD revision for your model so touch calibration and display quality are right after repair.
Fast drain, random shutdowns, overheating during charge, boot loops and swollen-battery inspection. Tablet batteries degrade faster than phone batteries because of heat buildup during long sessions. We check health readings and fit the correct cell for your exact revision.
Loose or intermittent charging, accessories not detected, keyboard-dock connection failures and slow charging. Before swapping the port we test the full power path โ cable, port, battery and power-management IC โ so you are not paying for an unnecessary part.
Water, coffee, juice โ the liquid type matters, because different liquids corrode differently. We open the device, assess how far corrosion has spread, clean the affected areas with the appropriate solutions and give you an honest prognosis. Data safety comes first in liquid cases.
No sound, distorted audio, a microphone that won't pick up voice in calls or recordings, unresponsive power, volume and home buttons, and headphone-jack issues on models that still have one. We test each component individually to isolate the failure.
Blurry or black front and rear cameras, Wi-Fi dropping or refusing to connect, Bluetooth pairing failures and GPS inaccuracy. Camera modules are model-specific โ we source the correct revision so autofocus and stabilisation work properly after the repair.
Fastest path to a fixed tablet: book online at Start My Repair, then bring the tablet with its charger and any accessories โ Apple Pencil, keyboard, case โ so we can test everything together after the repair.
Data note: most screen, battery and port repairs do not require wiping your data. If any software step could affect stored data, we discuss safe options with you first.
Why us
Tablets are expensive, personal, and usually hold years of photos and documents that aren't backed up anywhere else. Here's what separates us from big-box counters and mail-in services.
We confirm the actual failure path before recommending any part swap. That matters most for charging issues, touch dead zones and liquid damage, where the obvious symptom often isn't the root cause. You don't pay for a screen replacement if the real problem is a bent frame pressing on the digitizer cable.
Tablet parts aren't interchangeable across generations the way many people assume โ an iPad Air 4 screen won't fit an Air 5 correctly. We match the exact part revision to your device's model number so touch response, display colour accuracy and adhesion are right.
Before you leave we test touch response across the entire screen, charging with your own cable, Wi-Fi connectivity, both cameras, speakers, microphone and accessory pairing โ Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard โ where applicable. You leave knowing it works.
You see the estimate before work begins. If the repair cost is close to replacement value, we say so. We would rather give you a straight recommendation than push an expensive repair that doesn't make financial sense.
Convenience across Florida: eight locations mean shorter drive times and easier drop-off, and most stores complete common tablet repairs the same day when parts are in stock. See what customers say on our Reviews page.
Coverage
Our technicians work on every major tablet platform. If you aren't sure what model you have, bring it in โ we identify the exact model number, generation and part revision before quoting, because small differences between generations change which parts actually fit.

Symptoms
Understanding what's actually wrong helps you make a better decision about repair. These are the issues we see most often at our Florida stores.
On many iPads and Samsung tablets the glass digitizer and the LCD underneath are separate layers. If only the top glass cracked and the LCD is fine, repair is usually less expensive. On newer iPads with laminated displays the glass and LCD are bonded together, so both are replaced as a single unit.
Almost always hardware: the digitizer itself is damaged, the ribbon-cable connector is partially dislodged (common after drops), or a bent frame is putting pressure on internal components. A factory reset or software update will not fix this.
Charging failures have three main causes โ a worn or debris-clogged port, a degraded battery that can't accept charge properly, or a damaged power-management circuit (common after liquid exposure or non-certified chargers). We test all three before recommending which part to replace.
Lithium-ion cells lose capacity over time โ a three-year-old iPad might only hold 70% of its original charge. Random shutdowns usually mean the battery can no longer deliver enough current under load. We check battery health data to confirm before replacing.
A completely dead tablet can mean a fully depleted battery, a failed charging circuit or, in the worst cases, board-level damage. We start with a power-path diagnostic โ checking whether the device draws any current at all โ before opening anything.
The biggest mistake after a spill is continuing to use the tablet or plugging it in to charge. Liquid plus electrical current equals accelerated corrosion. Power it off and bring it in โ the faster we can clean the internals, the better the recovery odds.

How it works
Exactly what happens when you bring a tablet into any of our eight Florida stores.
Schedule online through Start My Repair or walk into your nearest store. Booking ahead lets us prepare the right parts.
We identify your exact model number and part revision, confirm the symptoms you're seeing, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
We fit the right replacement for your specific revision and frame condition, handling internal cables and connectors carefully.
Touch accuracy, charging, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cameras, speakers, microphone and accessory pairing are tested before the tablet goes back to you.
When the issue isn't the obvious part: charging problems can stem from the port, the battery or the power-management circuit. Touch dead zones can come from the digitizer, a loose connector or frame pressure. That's why we confirm the actual failure first โ so you aren't paying to replace a part that isn't the problem.
Many customers bring tablets alongside phones and laptops. We also offer Phone Repair, Laptop Repair, Computer Repair, Game Console Repair and Apple-focused service under Apple Repair.
If a device is very old, has severe board-level damage, or the repair cost approaches replacement value, we explain your options honestly so you can make the smarter financial decision. If you decide to upgrade, you can trade in the old device through Sell Electronic Devices.
Decision guide
The honest answer depends on three things: how old the tablet is, how severe the damage is, and what the repair costs relative to a replacement. Here's the framework we use.
Repair usually makes sense
The tablet is under three or four years old, damage is limited to one component โ screen, battery or charging port โ and the repair costs less than 40โ50% of replacement. iPads hold value well, so a $89โ$149 screen repair almost always beats a $329โ$1,099 replacement.
It's a toss-up
The tablet has multiple issues โ cracked screen plus battery drain plus Wi-Fi trouble โ the frame is significantly bent, or the model is four to five years old and approaching end of software support. We quote the full repair and help you weigh the numbers.
Replacement is smarter
There's board-level liquid damage with extensive corrosion, the model is six or more years old and no longer receiving software updates, or the repair exceeds 60% of the cost of a comparable used or refurbished replacement.
We never push unnecessary repairs. If replacement is the smarter choice we'll say so โ and you can sell or trade in your old device with us.

Many common tablet screen repairs are completed the same day when parts are in stock. Uncommon models or complex damage โ like a bent frame that needs straightening before a new screen will seat properly โ may require ordering parts, which typically adds one to three business days.
Yes. Tablet charging issues can come from the port itself, a degraded battery or the power-management circuit on the logic board. We test the full charging path before recommending a specific part replacement, so you're not paying for something that won't solve the problem.
It depends on the exact model and part revision. iPad screens start around $89, Samsung Galaxy Tab screens start around $89, and Amazon Fire screens start around $59. The pricing tables above cover common models, and we confirm your final quote during intake at the store.
Turnaround depends on the issue and parts availability. Many common screen, battery and charging-port repairs are same-day when parts are in stock. More complex repairs involving liquid-damage evaluation or uncommon models take longer.
Most hardware repairs โ screen replacement, battery swap, charging-port fix โ do not require wiping data. If any software step could affect your stored data we discuss safe options with you before proceeding. We still recommend backing up before any repair as a precaution.
Sometimes. Bent frames cause repeat screen cracks, persistent touch dead zones and poor adhesion of new screens. We inspect the frame first and give you an honest assessment of whether a screen repair will hold, whether frame straightening is possible, or whether replacement is the better path.
Yes. We regularly service Samsung Galaxy Tab S-series and A-series tablets, plus Amazon Fire HD, Fire Max and Fire Kids Edition. Availability depends on parts for your specific model โ call your nearest store or book online to check. See our Samsung Tablet Repair and Amazon Fire Tablet Repair pages for detail.
Apple iPad (all generations including Pro, Air and mini), Samsung Galaxy Tab, Amazon Fire and Kindle Fire, Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Go, Lenovo Tab (model-dependent), and other Android tablets when parts are available. If you're not sure what model you have, bring it in and we'll identify it.
Phone Repair & More has eight Florida stores offering tablet repair: Zephyrhills, Land O' Lakes / Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Carrollwood, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Spring Hill and Davenport / Clermont. Visit our locations page for hours, directions and contact details for each store.
It depends on age, damage severity and repair cost relative to replacement. For iPads and Galaxy Tabs under three or four years old with a single component failure โ screen, battery or port โ repair almost always makes sense financially. For much older tablets with board-level damage we give you an honest recommendation and help you decide.
