Cost and Repair Options for a Broken OnePlus 5 Screen
When it comes to repairing a broken OnePlus 5 screen, the cost can vary depending on the repair service and location. As of my last update in August 2023, the typical range for a repair service is from 100 to 200 Indian Rupees (INR). However, authorized service centers might charge a premium over third-party repair shops. It’s always a good idea to check with local repair services for the most accurate and current pricing.
Choosing the Right Repair Service
Techyuga is highly recommended for repairing your OnePlus 5 screen. They offer excellent repair services for mobile phones and laptops across India and have a positive reputation for iPhone display repair. While I cannot provide exact pricing, their rates are competitive and the quality of work is impressive. Reach out to Techyuga for a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Local Repair Experience
I had my OnePlus 5 screen broken, and the showroom suggested changing the whole display regardless of whether the display was broken. I consulted local mobile shops in Delhi and was told that only the top glass could be changed, but there was a risk that it might not function properly. I decided to take that risk, reasoning that if it didn't work, I would get a full repair done at the OnePlus showroom.
Surprisingly, the local shop managed to fix it, and it worked just fine with no issues whatsoever. I paid a total of 1300 INR for the repair. It was a cost-effective solution. However, in that case, the local, cheap, and unoriginal touchscreen became non-functional in 12 days, necessitating a visit to a OnePlus service center for an original screen. Unfortunately, the warranty was invalid since the phone was opened in an unauthorized store.
Lesson learned: Always opt for an original screen in the first place.
Opting for an Official OnePlus Repair Service
For the most reliable and official repair, a visit to an official OnePlus service center is essential. Here, the repair work is done with an original screen. I got my phone fixed, and the work was completed within an hour. It cost around 7500 INR. To ensure smooth service, carry a copy of your invoice or write down your phone’s IMEI number. The repair time can vary depending on the busy level of the technicians.
OnePlus Exclusive Store Prices
The price for a replacement original OnePlus 5 screen, inclusive of GST and labour charges, can range from 6870 INR. You can visit the OnePlus site to check prices of other genuine spares. Walk-in services at official OnePlus stores are convenient, and the replacement process typically takes around 20 minutes. If insurance is available, you may get the service more quickly. Official store service is generally smooth, and you can also opt for the pick-up facility provided by OnePlus. If your pick-up is scheduled for the early morning 11–2 slot, you should receive your phone back by the evening or the following day. Official OnePlus stores are open all 7 days from 11 am to 8 pm.
Conclusion
Depending on your location and the service provider, the cost of repairing or replacing the screen on your OnePlus 5 can vary. Whether you go with a local repair shop or an official service center, make sure to check the price and your warranty status. The choice should be based on your specific needs and the ease of access.
