How To Handle iPad Repairs

January 9, 2014

Samsung, Panasonic and Motorola are all making inroads into the industrial Tablet market, but Apple still leads the way in terms of market share. Other manufacturers offer great alternatives for ruggedized solutions and other niche solutions, but it’s an Apple iPad that you’re most likely to see in the store, school room, shop floor or even the police car!

 

So, how do you handle your iPad or Tablet repairs when they break! Most warranties (including Apple Care) do not cover accidental damage, and that’s the most likely cause of failure. Most Tablets seem to be very stable, but of course they are sensitive to being dropped or other kinds of physical damage. Broken screens or plastics will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

 

A Depot Repair company can be a good option for iPad and Tablet repairs. A third party depot can offer attractive pricing and quality repairs when compared to the manufacturer, and should be able to handle volume repairs. Look for a company with a track record in electronic repairs and check what warranty is offered. Here at Mercom we warranty all repairs for six months, and the warranty covers the complete unit and not just the original fault.
