If we examine the original question of why a screen repair costs so much...?
- Vodafone have quoted a repair bill of £65 which they will honour regardless of the actual condition of the phone.
- The assumption pre-inspection is that it is simply a "glass" breakage. A new digitizer will cost much more!
- There are transportation costs both ways, to and from the repairers. Which also has to be insured against the full cost of replacement if lost or damaged!
- The Phone will undergo a full inspection before and after repair.
- Only O.E.M. (original parts) will be used, not cheap replica's.
- All work is insured and guaranteed to Manufacturers build standards, by certified Technicians.
- The Warranty remains in full and unaffected.
There are probably many more reasons to justify the cost but I think all the main ones have been covered?
Even if you were to claim on your Household insurance for accidental damage, you would have to pay an excess charge of £50 or more.
Unfortunitely with accidental damage, the only person responsible is the owner. It might seem harsh but that is the cold truth...
You do have the option of shopping around for the cheapest quote. You can try Huawei directly and some of the high street repairers too.
Whichever route you take be sure to make sure that the Warranty will remain intact!
All the best with your repair! :smileyhappy:
