What to do if you need your electronics repaired

Written by Justin Smith | Aug 21, 2023 12:00:00 PM

Our electronic devices are some of the most important parts of our day-to-day lives. Whether you wake up every morning and immediately check your phone, need your laptop for work, or enjoy unwinding at the end of the day with your favorite movie, electronics are necessary for both work and play. However, electronics can also be fragile, making it just a matter of time before they break. That means you need to know what to do when it's time to get your electronics repaired.

Of course, product protection is a great first step when it comes to making sure your electronics are covered and able to get repaired for cheap. When you subscribe to Mulberry Unlimited, you'll get coverage for nearly all your electronics, online purchases, and more under the same product protection plan, so you don't have to sweat things like repair or replacement costs.

What should you do if you need your electronics repaired?

Here are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes time to get your electronic devices repaired.

Electronics repair store

Electronics repairs are some of the most popular repair services there are, and therefore also the easiest to attain. Popular electronics repair shops like uBreakiFix, iFixit, and more have made their name providing affordable electronics repair services for a number of different devices. To find one in your area, you can search "electronic repair near me" and a number of options should come up.

Although you should always check your warranty coverage before seeking third-party repair services, if your repair is simple and you need your device quickly, sometimes an electronics repair shop can be the best option. That said, if you need a complex repair done and your device is under warranty, sending it back to your warranty provider for repairs can also be more affordable than an electronic repair store.

DIY electronics repairs

Thanks to Right to Repair laws that have been enacted in recent years, repairing your own electronics has now become a viable option. Not only does it offer a cheaper alternative to traditional repair options, but it also is better for the environment by saving electronics and their parts instead of throwing them away. You can even purchase an electronic repair kit online that comes with everything you need to fix common issues like cracked screens.

Extended warranty coverage

Having an extended warranty for your electronics is always a great idea, and almost every manufacturer and retailer offers one. From Apple's AppleCare+ to Samsung's Samsung Care+ to Best Buy Geek Squad to Amazon product protection and more, there's no shortage of extended warranty options for your electronics.

Although manufacturer warranties are important as well, they're less needed for electronics because it's unlikely you'll encounter an issue due to a manufacturing defect, and electronics are generally pretty well-functioning for the first year, which is only as long as a manufacturer's warranty lasts.
