Samsung’s self-repair program gives consumers access to genuine replacement parts, and it’s now being expanded to include five more Galaxy gadgets.
It was almost four decades ago when the Beastie Boys exclaimed, «You have to fight, for your right, to paaaaarrrty!» Fast forward 37 years and consumers are instead fighting for their right to repair their own electronics without proprietary roadblocks and arbitrary restrictions imposed by manufacturers. The good news is there is movement on the DIY repair front, and to that end, Samsung today announced that it’s self-repair device program is expanding to include five additional «popular models.»
Samsung first announced its self-repair program in March of last year before it opened in earnest several months later. At the time, the company partnered with iFixIt to offer replacement parts and guides for consumers to repair Galaxy S20 and S21 series smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+ . It was a start, though obviously not all-inclusive.
Once again, Samsung is joining forces with iFixIt to provide users with genuine replacement parts and guides.
