The most common mistakes in DIY phone repairs

Many people nowadays try to repair their smartphones themselves. On platforms like YouTube, there are numerous tutorials for display, battery, or charging port repairs.

However, without experience or the right tools, greater damage can quickly occur. At CLICK INTERNET in Vienna, we regularly see devices that have been additionally damaged by improper repair attempts.

⚠️ Mistake 1: Using the wrong tools

Smartphones consist of sensitive components and tiny screws. With unsuitable tools, displays, cables, or mainboards can quickly be damaged.

Metal tools, in particular, often cause scratches or short circuits.

🔋 Mistake 2: Damaging the battery

Phone batteries are sensitive and can be damaged if removed incorrectly.

A bent or punctured battery can:

• Overheat
• Emit smoke
• Cause fire
• Damage the mainboard

Therefore, a battery replacement should always be performed carefully and professionally.

📱 Mistake 3: Buying cheap spare parts

Many cheap spare parts from the internet offer poor quality.

Common problems:

• Poor colors on the display
• Touch issues
• Batteries that fail quickly
• Error messages on the iPhone

For professional repairs, high-quality and tested spare parts are used.

💧 Mistake 4: Turning on a phone after water damage

A common mistake after water damage: Immediately turning the device back on or charging it.

This can cause short circuits and often makes the damage worse.

After water damage, the device should be professionally cleaned as quickly as possible.

🔌 Mistake 5: Damaging cables or connectors

Inside a smartphone are very sensitive flex cables and connectors.

When opening the device, these are often accidentally damaged or incorrectly connected.

This can lead to problems with:

• Display
• Camera
• Face ID
• Speaker
• Microphone

can lead to.
