Across these shops the most common services are data recovery, motherboard / board-level repair, screen replacement and charging port repair, and 1 also take on water-damaged phones. Google Pixel, iPad, iPhone, Samsung and Xiaomi are the brands these shops name most. None of them is an official brand service centre, so check your manufacturer warranty first if your phone is still covered.

Getting there

The closest MRT stations are Aljunied (EWL) and Paya Lebar (EWL/CCL). Buildings with repair shops include Atrix (1), Eng Apartments (1) and Aljunied Mrt Station (Ew9) (1). 2 shops list a phone number and 3 have a website. Call ahead to check the part is in stock, as many shops order parts for less common models.

Tips before your repair

Data recovery: Stop using the phone to avoid overwriting data. Ask for a diagnosis first, whether the shop works on your phone on-site, and how recovered files are returned and deleted afterwards. Encryption on modern phones means recovery usually needs your passcode.

Motherboard / board-level repair: Board-level (micro-soldering) repair fixes faults such as no power, no signal or boot loops. It is skilled work, so ask whether the technician repairs on-site, how long diagnosis takes and whether there is a fee if the board cannot be fixed.

Screen replacement: Ask whether the replacement is an original (OEM) display, a refurbished original or an aftermarket LCD/OLED panel. Aftermarket panels can differ in brightness, colour and touch response, and on recent iPhones a non-genuine screen may trigger a "non-genuine part" notice in Settings. Check Face ID or the fingerprint sensor, True Tone and touch across the whole screen before you pay.

Google Pixel: Pixel parts are less widely stocked in Singapore than iPhone or Samsung parts, so call ahead to confirm the part is available for your exact model.

iPad: iPad screens are glued in place, and some older models have a separate glass digitiser, so ask whether the quote covers glass only or the full display assembly.

Before you go: checklist

• Back up your phone (iCloud, Google One or a computer) and note your passcode; some repairs need a reset or a test unlock.
• Bring your ID or proof of purchase if you are claiming a warranty, and any original box or receipt for a service centre visit.
• Ask for a written quote that names the part grade (original, refurbished original or compatible) and the warranty period.
• Test the phone in the shop: touch, cameras, speakers, microphone, charging, Wi-Fi, mobile data and biometrics.
• Keep the receipt. It is your proof for any warranty claim later.

Typical repair times

Typical turnaround times that Singapore repair shops commonly quote (general guidance, not a promise from any listed shop; parts availability changes this):

• Data recovery: 1 to 7 working days
• Motherboard / board-level repair: 2 to 10 working days
• Screen replacement: 30 minutes to 2 hours
• Battery replacement: 30 minutes to 1 hour
• Water damage repair: 1 to 5 working days

Genuine parts and warranty

The biggest price differences come from the part grade. Original (OEM) parts cost more than compatible ones, so compare like with like, and ask what the warranty covers and for how long. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you can complain to CASE if a shop misleads you.
