A70 Samsung repair prices

Prices include the part and fitting. Most repairs take up to 60 minutes and come with a 3-month warranty.

Battery

An A70 Samsung battery wears out with every charge cycle. The usual signs are a phone that dies at 30 or 40 per cent, shuts down in the cold, needs charging twice a day or feels warm and slow. A swollen battery that lifts the screen or back should be replaced straight away and not charged.

Battery swaps are done at the bench while you wait in most cases: open, disconnect, remove the old cell, fit the new one, close up and test charging and health.

A new battery lasts longest when it is kept between roughly 20 and 80 per cent most of the time and away from heat. If the device gets very warm while charging, take the case off.

The A70 Samsung battery costs £40, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Charging port

If your A70 Samsung only charges when the cable is held in place, says "accessory not supported", or won't charge at all, the charging port is the likely cause. Liquid damage and a lot of plugging in and out wear the contacts over time.

We inspect the port under magnification and clean it. If it is worn or corroded, we replace the charging port or the charging flex it sits on, then test charging, fast charging and data before you leave. On many models this also restores the bottom microphone, which shares the same part.

Pocket fluff is the most common reason a port stops working. If charging becomes fussy again, switch the device off and gently clear the port with a wooden toothpick, never metal, or ask us to clean it.

The A70 Samsung charging port costs £40, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Microphone

An A70 Samsung with a faulty microphone records muffled voice notes and video, and callers struggle to hear you.

We find which microphone is at fault, clean or replace it and test calls, voice notes and video recording.

Cases that cover the microphone holes can make you sound distant on calls, so check the cut-outs line up.

The A70 Samsung microphone costs £40, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Earpiece speaker

Weak or crackly call audio on an A70 Samsung usually comes from the earpiece speaker at the top of the screen.

We clean the earpiece mesh, test the speaker and replace it if needed, then make a test call with you.

Screen protectors that cover the earpiece slot can muffle calls, so choose one with a cut-out for the speaker.

The A70 Samsung earpiece speaker costs £40, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Loudspeaker

A crackling, quiet or silent loudspeaker on an A70 Samsung affects music, video, ringtones and speakerphone. Liquid, dust in the speaker mesh or a knock can all cause it.

The loudspeaker is tested, cleaned and replaced where needed, and we play audio through it at full volume to check for rattles.

Keep the speaker grilles clear: a soft dry brush removes most dust and fluff. If the device gets wet, switch it off and let it dry fully before playing audio.

The A70 Samsung loudspeaker costs £40, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Screen replacement

A cracked A70 Samsung screen is more than a cosmetic problem. Glass splinters spread from the impact point, dead patches or green lines appear, touch stops responding in one corner, or the display goes black while the phone still rings. Any of these usually means the display assembly needs replacing rather than a screen protector.

The repair is done on our bench in the shop: the phone is opened, the old screen is lifted off, the frame is cleaned, and the new display is fitted and tested across the whole surface. We also check the battery and charging while it is open, so you know the rest of the phone is healthy.

To protect the new display, a tempered glass screen protector and a case with a raised edge are worth the small cost. Most cracks start at a corner, so a bumper that covers the corners does most of the work.

The A70 Samsung screen replacement costs £110, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Other repairs

Not every fault fits a list. Liquid damage, an A70 Samsung that won't turn on, board faults, cameras, buttons and anything else can be checked in the shop.

Bring it in or send a photo on WhatsApp and we will give you a price before doing any work.

Whatever the fault, switch the device off if it has been wet and don't try to charge it until we have checked it. That gives liquid-damaged boards the best chance.

The price depends on the fault, so we quote it after a quick check. Most of these repairs take up to 60 minutes, and come with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Common problems we fix on the A70 Samsung

Cracked screens and worn batteries are the most common repairs, followed by charging ports that stop working reliably. We also see speakers clogged with dust, microphones that callers can't hear and cameras that won't focus after a drop. If a fault isn't listed, ask: most problems on the A70 Samsung can be checked the same day.

Before you bring your A70 Samsung in

• Back up your photos and messages if the A70 Samsung still turns on.
• Bring your passcode so we can test the repair with you; we never browse your data.
• Remove the case and screen protector if they are easy to take off.
• Bring the charger if you think the fault might be the cable.

Signs your phone needs a repair

• Cracks, lines or black patches on the screen, or touch that stops working in places.
• Battery that runs out by the afternoon, drops in jumps or shuts down with charge left.
• Charging that only works at an angle or with one particular cable.
• Callers who can't hear you, or sound that crackles or has gone quiet.
• A camera that won't focus, shakes or shows a black screen.
• Buttons that stick, need a hard press or do nothing.

If you notice any of these, it is usually cheaper to fix them early. A cracked screen lets dust and moisture in, and a tired battery puts strain on the rest of the phone. These are the faults we see most often on the A70 Samsung.

What affects the price of a repair

The prices on this page are for the part and fitting. The main things that change a price are the model, the part needed and whether there is more than one fault. A cracked screen on a phone that has also been dropped in water, for example, may need more than one part. Every A70 Samsung repair price on this page includes the part and fitting.

We always check the phone first and tell you the price before we start. If we find something else while it is open, we ask before doing any extra work, so the price you agree is the price you pay.

How long repairs take

Most repairs are done while you wait, usually within an hour, so you can stay in the shop or pop out and come back. Some parts for older or less common models need ordering, which is why we ask you to book online or message us on WhatsApp before you visit, so we can make sure the part is ready. Most A70 Samsung repairs are finished the same day.

If a repair is going to take longer, for example a board repair or a part on order, we tell you when you drop it off and let you know as soon as it is ready.

Our warranty

Every repair comes with a warranty on the part we fit and our work. If the repair develops a fault within the warranty period, bring it back with your receipt and we will check it and put it right. Keep your receipt or booking confirmation, as it shows the date of the repair. That applies to every A70 Samsung repair we carry out.

The warranty covers the part and the work we did. If the phone is dropped or gets wet again after the repair, that is new damage, and we will quote for it in the same way as before.

Repair or replace?

A repair is almost always cheaper than a new phone, and it keeps your data, settings and apps exactly as they were. As a rough guide, if the phone does everything you need and the repair costs less than a third of a replacement, repairing it is the better value.

For most owners, repairing the A70 Samsung costs far less than replacing it, and you keep everything exactly as it was.

It can be worth thinking twice if the phone has several faults at once, no longer gets software updates, or has been badly damaged by liquid. In those cases we will tell you honestly what we find and what the repair would cost, and you decide. If you do decide to replace it, we also buy used phones, so your old device may still be worth something.

Collection and postal repairs

Can't get to Leagrave Road? We collect broken devices from around Luton and bring them back once they are fixed. If you live further away, our postal repair service lets you send the phone to us and have it returned after the repair.

Contact us first on WhatsApp or by phone on 01582 511611, tell us the model and the fault, and we will confirm the price and how to send it. Pack it well, switch it off and include your name, phone number and a short note of the problem. We return your A70 Samsung once it has been repaired and tested.

Your data and privacy

Repairs at Mega Mobiles are done in the shop, and we only use your passcode to test the repair with you. We never reset a phone without asking, and we never look through photos, messages or apps.

It is still sensible to back up before any repair if the phone turns on, just as you would before an update. If it won't turn on, bring it in anyway: most of the time the data is untouched by the fault. Your A70 Samsung data stays exactly where it is.

Looking after it after the repair

Use a case with raised edges and a screen protector, keep the phone out of hot cars and direct sun, and charge it with a good-quality cable. If anything about the repair doesn't feel right afterwards, bring it back and we will check it within the warranty. A well-protected A70 Samsung keeps working well for years.
