Rc2702 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Have a Samsung s7 which was water damaged a week after getting it last year. Does charge but screen completely unresponsive. Quoted £180 to fix in UK by a phone repair shop. Took it to my local guy in KK and he reckins Samsung thailand may repair it. Any ideas of cost of this and if they would even repair a UK Samsung device? Shop in UK reckons it needs a new screen but maybe it is the internal board that is damaged? Any similar experiences most welcome. Using my A5 which is now 3 years old and still my favourite. Have tried to find a xaomi to play with but 6 months and two provences later It still eludes me.

Halfaboy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If you are in Pattaya you could go to the Samsung Service Center. You will upfront be quoted a price as per standard price list. The center is located on Pattaya Nua not too far from the busstation (same side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patanawet Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Had a similar problem with my J7 a few months ago in the big flood of 2017. Samsung service centre in Silom quoted me 6K baht for a new screen and mother board. Bought a Huawei GR5 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking it will be more as the s7 has a curved screen or something. This was reason for high quote in uk anyway. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnonK Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 In Bangkok's China Town, Klong Thom Area, there a lot of Repair shops which do very good jobs at a low cost. Mainly, you could just wait for the repair be done within an hour or so. Don't go to the MBK, the prices there mainly double as at Klong Thom.

mtls2005 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm guessing the OP is in Khon Kaen? Service Center of Samsung Khon Kaen In town, Muang Khon Kaen, 2.21 km address 177 / 7-10 Mittraphap Road, 40000 Opening Hours "Mon-Fri 8am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 5pm Sunday Holiday" http://www.samsung.com/th/support/service-center/ Have tried to find a xaomi to play with but 6 months and two provences later It still eludes me. Xiaomi now has quite a few of their own shops, but in Bangkok: Seacon Square Mega Bang Na Imperial World Samrong Pantip Plaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it to samsung today who quoted just under 5k baht. Bit unsure of how it will pan out they seemed hesitant to repair the phone but maybe thry will sort it. Will find out in 2 days.

Rc2702 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Took s7 to samsung repair centre khon kaen. 4800 baht. Works like new. New screen I think was repair. Very pleased with everything. Was quoted £180 in London so a massive saving and sorted within 48 hours. The best part was my Mrs trying to say I should just buy a new phone. Her face when I showed her was worth the cost all on its own. Thanks to those that contributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimamey Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just seen this and it's similar to my problem. I've got a Samsung S7 Edge which was bought in the UK. It was dropped and the glass back (not the screen) was broken. My wife phoned the Samsung repair centre in Roi Et, which we've used before for her old phone but there seems to be a problem as it wasn't bought in Thailand. Not sure of the exact problem but it seems they check the imei number before they repair. I'm flying back to the UK on the 3rd of March so I'll probably end up getting it done then but it's more difficult because I need my phone more there than here. A longer term issue is that I gave my wife my old UK bought S6 so if that had problem so might I. Has anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. I'm on the south eastern side of Mahasarakham so Roi Et is about half the distance. I'll try there again but if not then I'll go to Khon Kaen.

That Samsung repair, first thing they said was "not have part cannot do" no Solution offered they thought that was end of discussion. Pressed them to order part fix phone 100% and no rush required. So it was not 100% smooth and because of that I was not totally convinced they would solve it. They also voiced concern that back of phone might not look like new. It was fine. Good luck.

Having said that it might help in that regard as well I'm short of time now so I'll either get done in the UK or wait until I come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignUp Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Dropped S8 the other day and screen broke a little on the left side. Was using it like that until today and now some yellow color of whole bottom part of screen is showing (touch still work). Where is best to go to replace screen?
