Every device we take in at our kiosk inside Merced Mall comes from a specific brand, and every brand has its own quirks — different screen assemblies, different battery designs, different quirks when it comes to charging ports and software. Rather than treating every phone or laptop the same way, our technicians work brand by brand, using the right parts and the right process for each one. Below is a rundown of the brands we repair most often, what we typically see come through the door for each, and where to go for a closer look at pricing and specific repairs.
Two phones with cracked screens can need completely different repairs depending on the manufacturer. An iPhone screen assembly is built differently than a Samsung Galaxy display, and a Google Pixel's camera module isn't interchangeable with a Motorola's. That's why we keep parts organized by brand and model, not just by "phone screen" or "laptop battery." Before any work starts, you get a free estimate specific to your exact device, so the price you're quoted reflects what your phone, tablet, or laptop actually needs — not a generic average.
Call usApple devices make up a large share of what comes through our kiosk — iPhones with cracked screens or failing batteries, iPads with unresponsive displays, and MacBooks needing a battery, keyboard, or SSD upgrade. Because Apple parts and software have their own ecosystem, we handle iPhone, iPad, and MacBook repairs as a dedicated category rather than treating them like any other Android device. Full details on iPhone, iPad, and MacBook repair are on the Apple Repair page.
Samsung Galaxy phones are the most common Android device we see, and the most frequent requests are screen replacement, battery swaps, and charging port repair. Samsung's curved-edge displays on higher-end Galaxy models require a bit more care during replacement than a flat screen, which is part of why brand-specific experience matters. See more on the Samsung Repair page.
Pixel owners usually come in for screen replacement, battery issues, or camera problems — Pixel phones are known for their camera quality, so a damaged camera module is something we treat as a priority repair. Details are on the Google Pixel Repair page.
Motorola devices are popular for their affordability, and the repairs we see most are cracked screens, battery replacements, and charging port fixes. We keep common Motorola parts in stock since these phones are widely used across our service area. More information is on the Motorola Repair page.
OnePlus phones bring in similar requests to other Android brands — screen and battery replacement mostly — but OnePlus's fast-charging hardware means charging port repairs need the right replacement parts to keep that fast-charge feature working correctly afterward. Full details are on the OnePlus Repair page.
Even though LG has stepped back from making new phones, plenty of existing LG devices are still in daily use across Merced County, and we continue to service them for screen, battery, and charging repairs. See the LG Repair page for more.
Surface devices blur the line between tablet and laptop, and the repairs reflect that — screen replacement, battery issues, and keyboard cover problems are the most common. Surface hardware is more specialized than a standard laptop, so having a technician familiar with its internal layout matters. Details are on the Microsoft Surface Repair page.
HP laptops are common in both home and work setups, and we regularly handle HP screen replacement, battery swaps, keyboard repair, and SSD or RAM upgrades. Older HP laptops are also frequent candidates for an SSD upgrade, which is often the fastest way to bring an aging machine back to usable speed. More on the HP Repair page.
Dell laptops, especially in the Inspiron, Latitude, and XPS lines, come in for the same core issues — screens, batteries, keyboards, and storage upgrades. Dell's business-focused Latitude models are common in our area from remote workers and small business owners. See the Dell Repair page for details.
Lenovo's ThinkPad and IdeaPad lines are well represented among the laptops we repair, with keyboard replacement being a particularly common request given how heavily ThinkPads get used in day-to-day work. Battery and screen repairs round out the rest. Details are on the Lenovo Repair page.
Acer laptops are a popular budget-friendly option, and we see a good number of them for screen replacement and RAM or SSD upgrades — often from students looking to extend the life of a laptop rather than replace it. More information is on the Acer Repair page.
Asus laptops, including their gaming-oriented ROG line, come in for screen and keyboard repairs along with storage and memory upgrades. Gaming laptops in particular benefit from an SSD or RAM upgrade when performance starts to lag behind newer titles. See the Asus Repair page for more.
This list covers the brands we repair most often, but it isn't the complete picture. If your device is from a brand not listed here, call us — we work on a broader range of phones, tablets, and laptops than any single page can cover, and we can usually tell you over the phone whether we're able to help.
No matter which brand you bring in, the repair categories stay consistent:
Screen replacement, battery replacement, charging port repair, back glass replacement, camera and speaker repair, water damage diagnostics, and data recovery.
Screen and keyboard replacement, battery swaps, SSD and RAM upgrades, and Windows or macOS installation.
Every repair starts with a free, honest estimate, and most phone and tablet jobs are finished in 30 to 60 minutes while you shop or run errands in the mall.

We stock parts for the brands and models we repair most often. For less common devices, we can usually source the part quickly — a phone call will tell you the expected wait, if any.
Sometimes. Common repairs on popular brands like Apple and Samsung are typically fastest since we have parts on hand. Less common brands or older models may take a bit longer if a part needs to be ordered.
It varies by part cost and device complexity rather than brand alone. A free estimate on your specific device will give you an accurate price rather than a general brand-based guess.
Often, yes. This page covers our most common brands, but we work on a wider range of devices. Call us with your specific brand and model, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
