Breakdown reason
The tablet has a small weight, compact parameters, so it is usually carried with you. But the device is short-lived and can break down over time. This usually happens due to improper handling. A tablet is considered a fragile device. The screen is easily scratched if it is in a bag without a case. And cracks can form due to shock or temperature difference.
Is self-replacement possible?
Replacing the glass on the tablet will remove screen defects. But first, it’s important to set the level of damage. Since the screen consists of a glass part and a matrix, there may be damage to one of these parts. Practice shows that the first often breaks.

You can do this work yourself, but it can cause unexpected consequences, for the elimination of which additional expenses are necessary.

Guarantee

But usually defects from bumps, as well as cracks, chips are not eliminated for free. If such signs are not detected, then replacing the glass on the tablet will turn out without money. For example, warranty repairs are carried out in case of problems with the display or display failure.
It should be remembered that the repair period can be long, since spare parts are usually ordered from other countries. Tablet recovery under warranty takes 2-3 weeks.
Mechanical damage
Devices where there is damage are not repaired under warranty. Therefore, if the glass on the tablet is cracked, a specialist of the manufacturer will present a denial of service. Then the replacement is paid. Masters cannot immediately name the cost of work, it all depends on the model of the device and the need to order spare parts.
How long is the repair?
Glass replacement on the tablet in each company is carried out at different times. Work may be urgent, but then its price will be maximum. If the repair is carried out over a week, the cost is reduced.
The master performs diagnostics, after which he can name the deadlines for the work, as well as the cost and cause of the breakdown. The procedure is mandatory and paid.
Contact the workshop
Even if you need to replace the glass on the tablet, you should not give the device immediately after diagnosis. It is important to ask the wizard about the causes of the breakdown and the cost. If the repair lasts for a period of a week, the client has the right to control the process.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the contract or other document that confirms the delivery of the tablet. The price of the work should not increase after the master named the number. He must take on unforeseen expenses.

Budget tablets
Budget devices (price less than 10 thousand rubles) are divided into 3 types:
- From mobile operators.
- Surrogate Chinese devices.
- Official budget tablets.
Only with the latest type of gadgets can you repair. With the acquisition of the rest of the equipment, you need to remember that it is almost impossible to resell or repair it. Before buying, you need to make sure that the brand has a representative office in its city. Tablets from mobile operators are inexpensive - up to 5 thousand rubles. The cost of repairing the device will be higher.
Price
The cost of replacing glass on a tablet may vary. This is determined by the manufacturer and model of equipment. Usually it is 2-6 thousand rubles. On some devices, a matrix screen is sold together, which affects cost. It will increase to 7 thousand rubles.

- It will be difficult to pick up the same glass.
- Delivery takes about 3 months.
In this case, it will be easier to purchase a new device than to carry out repair work. Therefore, it is important to first decide which device to purchase. It will be more profitable to purchase a high-quality gadget so that it lasts a long time.
How to save glass?
To prevent screen damage, careful handling of the device is necessary. The tablet needs to be carried in a cover. There should be a protective film on the screen. Falls are harmful to the device, so they must be excluded. Such actions will save the device in excellent condition, as well as extend its service life.
After buying a tablet, you need to protect the screen with glass. This is an analogue of protective films. It is created from hardened material. The product will not allow the appearance of scratches with metal objects and damage from impacts.
The manufacturing technology of the protective material is as follows: when hardened, it is uniformly heated to a certain temperature level, and then cools. It turns out transparent glass, which is not noticeable on the display, so the color rendering does not change. And the sensitivity of the screen is the same. The protective glass will save the integrity of the display, and therefore there will be no need to carry out its repair.
