The Cost of Not Being Insured
The average tablet costs around £300 new, and some cost up to £750. These sophisticated devices are delicate and can be very expensive to repair. It can also be difficult to find a suitably trained and experienced repair shop that can be trusted with your valuable tablet.
Some of the most common damage to tablet devices can result in complete breakdown and write-off.
Cracked Screens
A crack affecting just the glass of the tablet screen is a lucky one and will cost around £50 – £90 to repair without insurance. Unfortunately most cracked screens include damage to the LCD screen or digitizer too which can run into the £hundreds to fix.
Water Damage
Water and electronic components don’t mix. Any liquid touching the inside parts of your tablet can burn connections and circuit boards causing breakdown. Liquid can also stay inside the screen affecting the display. To repair liquid damage, tablets need to be fully disassembled to see how far the damage has spread. This takes a long time and usually an expensive hourly rate is charged plus the cost of any replacement parts.
