Questions and answers

REPAIRS How do I start a repair?
Choose your device and problem in the repair estimator. We’ll add the recommended part to your cart where suitable; you can change it there. Some faults need an assessment before we can quote. Contact us about data recovery or specialist work.

REPAIRS What devices does V0LT repair?
We work on phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, consoles and other electronics. Services include screens, batteries, charging faults and software problems, plus specialist motherboard repairs and data recovery. Ask us about your exact model.

REPAIRS Do you repair devices that will not turn on?
Yes, we can assess it. A phone or computer that won’t turn on can have several possible faults, so we need to check it before quoting the repair.

REPAIRS Can you repair liquid-damaged devices?
We can assess liquid damage, but the result depends on the damage and any earlier attempts to power it on. Stop charging or trying to turn it on, don’t put it in rice, and contact us about an assessment.

REPAIRS Do you perform motherboard and micro-soldering repairs?
Yes. We assess motherboard faults, damaged connectors, short circuits and repairs needing micro-soldering. We’ll explain the work and price for your approval before starting specialist repairs.

REPAIRS Can I supply my own repair part?
Customer-supplied parts may be considered case by case. The technician must first confirm compatibility and condition. Warranty coverage may be limited to the workmanship rather than the supplied part, and unsuitable or damaged parts may be refused.
Was this answer useful?
REPAIRS Will my device data be erased during repair?
Most hardware repairs don’t deliberately erase files, but we can’t guarantee data will be preserved. Back up what you can before the repair. Software, storage, motherboard and recovery work can carry extra risk to data.

REPAIRS Do you repair devices that another shop has already opened?
We can inspect it. Previous repair attempts may affect what can be repaired. We’ll explain any missing parts, damage or limits before you agree to further work.

PRICES & ESTIMATES How accurate is the online repair estimate?
The estimate uses your chosen model, problem and part. We’ll confirm the price after inspection and before work starts. Hidden damage or a different model can change what’s needed.

PRICES & ESTIMATES Why does a screen repair ask me to choose screen quality?
We select a recommended screen where one is available. Use Change screen in your cart to compare other compatible parts and their prices. You don’t have to compare them to continue.
Was this answer useful?
PRICES & ESTIMATES Why is there no exact online price for my repair?
We need to check some faults before we can price them. This often applies to devices with no power, liquid damage, motherboard faults or lost data.
Was this answer useful?
PRICES & ESTIMATES Does the estimate include parts and labour?
For eligible individual repairs, you pay the V0LT retail price for the part and standard installation is free. Any accessories, priority service or other extras are shown separately for approval. Specialist work may need a separate quote.
Was this answer useful?
PRICES & ESTIMATES How long is a saved estimate valid?
A saved estimate is a reference, not a fixed-price guarantee. Parts prices and availability can change, so we’ll confirm the current price when you book or bring the device in.

WARRANTY & RETURNS Can I return an accessory or product?
Return eligibility depends on the product, condition, reason for return and legal rights. Keep the receipt, packaging and included accessories. Change-of-mind returns should not be assumed until the applicable store policy is confirmed.

WARRANTY & RETURNS What if a product is faulty?
Stop using it if continued use may cause damage or risk. Contact the team with proof of purchase and fault details. The product may need inspection before the appropriate remedy is confirmed.

Unauthorised modification, physical damage or third-party repair can affect the ability to assess the original fault and may limit warranty support. Consumer rights for unrelated manufacturing faults are considered separately.

WARRANTY & RETURNS Where can I read the warranty information?
Review the Warranty page and the warranty details shown on the invoice. Product and repair coverage can differ, so the invoice remains important.
