How long does a phone motherboard repair take? What decides it

How long a motherboard (board) repair takes cannot be given as one figure; it depends on the fault type, part availability and testing. A simple IC replacement and a fault that has spread after liquid contact do not finish in the same time. You are told the time after the free diagnosis.

Cep Market Repair TeamIn Kadıköy since 2006
Key points
  • The time depends on the fault type, parts and testing.
  • No exact time can be given before diagnosis.
  • With liquid contact, cleaning and observation can add time.
  • Part availability affects the time.
  • The time and price are sent to you before approval.

01What decides the time?

FactorEffect on time
DiagnosisA board fault is found by measurement; outside causes come first
Fault typeA single IC swap differs from a spread fault
PartsIf the IC or component is not in stock, it is ordered
Liquid contactThe board needs cleaning and drying
TestingChecking functions after the repair takes time

02Why is no exact time given in advance?

With board faults, the problem seen at first can turn out to depend on another area during measurement. A time given without diagnosis would be misleading. At Cep Market, after diagnosis you are told where the fault is, whether the repair can be done, its risk, the price and the estimated time; nothing is done without your approval. Cost factors are in motherboard repair cost.

03What can you do while you wait?

  1. Check your backup. If you have a cloud backup, you can restore it to a new or spare phone.
  2. Take your SIM. You can use your line in another phone.
  3. Protect your accounts. Keep access to your SIM for two-step verification.

The general process for board faults is on our motherboard repair page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Is a motherboard repair finished the same day?

It depends on the fault. Simple faults can be quick; spread or liquid-related faults take longer. The time is given after diagnosis.

02

How long if I send it by courier?

Devices received by courier are generally repaired and sent back the same day; for board faults the time is confirmed after diagnosis.

03

What if the part is not available?

You are told when the part can be obtained; waiting or taking the device back is your decision.

04

Will a board repair delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
