Xiaomi phone repair: what to do before you bring it in

A few steps make a repair of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone smoother: back up your data, make sure you know your Xiaomi account password, check your model and note down the fault. Diagnosis is free, and nothing is done without your approval.

Cep Market Repair TeamIn Kadıköy since 2006
Key points
  • Back up your data before bringing the phone in.
  • Make sure you know your Xiaomi account password.
  • Find the model under Settings › About phone.
  • Note down when and how the fault started.
  • Diagnosis is free; nothing is done without your approval.

01Checklist before you come

PreparationWhy it matters
BackupData is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up before the repair
Xiaomi account passwordIf the software is reinstalled, the phone may ask for account verification at start-up
Lock codeIt may be needed to test touch and the cameras after the repair; tell us if you would rather not share it
Model detailsPart availability is checked in advance
Fault noteWhen it started, and whether there was a drop or liquid contact, makes diagnosis easier

02Finding the model

The model name is shown under Settings › About phone, along with the detailed specs. If the phone does not turn on, check the label on the box or the invoice. Redmi and POCO models are sold in several versions under the same name (e.g. Pro, Pro+, 5G), so give the full name. Menu names can vary with the MIUI and HyperOS version.

03Software or hardware?

  1. Stuck at start-up. If the phone stays on the Fastboot screen or at start-up, first see the steps in Xiaomi Fastboot mode fix.
  2. Battery drains quickly. Check the battery with the method in how to check Xiaomi battery health.
  3. Physical damage. With cracked glass, a lifting back cover or liquid contact, stop using the phone and bring it in for a check.

The shop address and directions are on our Xiaomi repair shop in Kadıköy page.

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.
