Phones and tablets nowadays come with huge batteries like 5,000mAh or more that will last you throughout the day with ease, but a device with a dead or dying battery won’t even get you halfway through your day. Is there any meaning to having a mobile device at that point?
A mobile device in today’s day and age is more than just making and receiving phone calls, it’s using the navigation to guide you from place to place, checking on social media for business or pleasure, doing a quick Google search to find the answer you’re looking for, and a whole lot more. And when a device can’t hold its charge for long enough it becomes pointless.
Have your mobile device’s battery replaced with a brand-new battery that will get you through the day with ease.
Dropped your Phone? Sat on your Tablet? Apart from computers, East Rand Computers performs Smartphone and Tablet repairs and services to return your electronics to their working state.
The phones and tablets of nowadays are, without a doubt, built more for their sleek looks and ultra-thinness, which, unfortunately, makes them easily breakable if not babied and cared for constantly when you're out and about and on the move. One wrong move and it spells disaster for your precious (and expensive!) device.

Here's what ERC has to offer for Smartphone and Tablet Repairs, among other Services
It's impossible to list Every. Single. Service ERC has to offer. So, instead, here are some of the main services to offer your smartphones and tablets. Need more? Just ask!
Dead Battery Replacements
Cracked & Broken Screens
Unfortunately, our mobile devices are super fragile and cracked screens happen all too easily, even from the lightest of falls or drops. Or maybe you forgot your tablet on the couch and accidentally ended up sitting on it and cracking the screen.
Phone and tablet screen replacements will restore your device to its fully functioning state. From a screen that has a small crack in it that’s an annoyance, but not a complete deal breaker, to a screen that’s completely shattered and non-responsive, ERC offers a quality phone screen replacement service.
Mangled USB Charging Ports
By far the most abused component in portable electronics is the USB charging port that sustains constant plugging and unplugging. Whether it be micro-USB or the new USB-C standard, a charging port takes the full brunt of it all on a daily basis.
From charging your device to connecting it to your computer to transfer files, a damaged charging port is the most common repair when it comes to phone and tablet repairs. And once your phone or tablet’s charging port is broken and the battery runs out, what purpose does your device serve then?

Broken Speakers
Whether it be the main loudspeaker or the earpiece speaker, it’s a huge inconvenience when using a mobile device as phone calls and notifications may go unnoticed.
From a muffled speaker where you can’t hear what a person is saying on the other end, or a loudspeaker that’s muted or completely dead means you won’t hear it ring either way. Any and all smartphone or tablet speaker repairs will involve replacing the speaker unit as a whole.

Cracked Back Glass
Remember how we mentioned above that a smartphone’s screen is super fragile and prone to cracks and damage even from the lightest of bumps? It’s no different for the back battery cover glass panel.
Worse yet, when it’s shattered into a million pieces, you constantly end up with tiny shards of glass in the palm of your hand every time you handle your device.
From a safety point of view, remember that the glass back cover also inevitably protects the battery of your smart device from being poked or prodded at, and when it’s cracked and missing pieces, your device loses a layer of protection and said glass shards may even end up puncturing the battery making things a whole lot worse, including a fire!

Shattered Camera Lens
Once your phone’s camera lens becomes cracked or even has a piece missing out of the glass, not only do photos now look terrible but it allows dirt and debris to enter the camera’s lens which may permanently end up scratching and damaging the camera lens itself.
The fact that smartphones now come with at least three cameras attached to the back means you now need to be three times more careful not to damage any of the cameras!

General Device Hardware
Smartphones and tablets can have anything go wrong with their number of internal hardware components, such as vibration motors, camera modules, interconnecting ribbon cables, and the (now rare) 3.5mm headphone jack to mention a few.
Who better to call when such components need replacing? ERC has got you covered.

Board-Level Repairs
Smartphone and tablet board-level repairs are the more tricky repairs needed for when a device has suffered liquid damage, won’t turn on, acts erratically, has no display after having the display replaced and so forth.
As the name implies, board-level repairs delve deeper into the main board itself and all the components that make up the board.
Should you have an unfortunate encounter with your device that’s suffered such fates, give East Rand Computers a shot at fixing your device and hopefully bring it back to life!

OS & Software Hiccups
Though not uncommon, when you go to update the software or the operating system of your smartphone or tablet and something goes wrong during the update process, it may result in your device not being able to boot up normally or may cause a constant bootloop that you cannot exit.
So now you fear that your device has become one expensive paperweight? Think again! ERC can fix such errors for you and your device, returning it to the way it was just before you were ready to throw it out...

Almost any, as long as it's a well-known brand like Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Sony, etc., especially when sourcing replacement components. ERC can repair any cell phone or tablet, whether it's Android or Apple devices.
No, there's no reason to make any software changes or resets unless the specific repair at hand calls for doing so (like a phone or tablet that boot loops or stays on a frozen screen, etc.). In such cases, you will be notified first on what you would like to do.
OEM or third-party. It depends on what is available and who stocks the required item. Also, East Rand Computers will only use high-quality third-party replacement parts.
No. Although ERC uses strong adhesives and glues when reassembling devices, we would never claim that your device is guaranteed to have its IPxx rating back like before. Therefore, do not let your device get wet or submerged in liquids of any sort after it's undergone repairs.
Again, mobile phone and tablet repairs can take minutes or several hours to even a few days, depending on the fault and wait times for replacement parts to arrive.
Depends: liquid damage is unpredictable. Liquid, whether it's water or some sort of drink, damages more than one component, not just one specific isolated part. Therefore, it's like a chain effect and damages one component after the next as they may short each other out. With that said, ERC will work on your devices and conclude.
More than likely, yes. In that case, you should be taking it to the device manufacturer in the first place to have it repaired whilst it's still under their warranty. East Rand Computers is your alternative go-to mobile repair service.
Yes, more than likely. This is more so true if your device needs to be factory reset or its OS needs to be reflashed. In these cases, it's suggested you make a backup of your device if possible so as not to lose anything.
