In the past we were used to the fact that, if our television broke down, we had to send it to technical support, the official one or a third party. That meant two things: having to wait a long period of time and paying a large repair bill. But in recent years, thanks to manufacturers like Samsung, the situation is very different . Its Self-Repair service, which has changed the way we repair screens, is about to be expanded and improved to support a greater number of televisions.

Quick and easy repair

For Samsung, a company that seeks sustainability and providing users with all the support possible, offering this service is essential. Users who have any type of problem with their television that is more complicated than updating their Smart TV , just have to go to the program’s specific website and check to see if their model is on the list of supported screens. Although televisions have not been the main element that Samsung has covered in Spain, with mobile phones or tablets having more presence, the increase in support that will arrive in 2024 seems to improve the situation.

Taking this into account, what Samsung also offers in order to facilitate the repair work are different video tutorials in which it details step by step what needs to be done in each case. But, as we indicated, the important thing is what the company has announced in the last few hours about the plans it has for the coming months of this year 2024.

Samsung expands service

The information comes from the United States and, as usual, it is common that in that market they are always a little ahead of ours in terms of supported products. However, Samsung’s general intentions with the Self-Repair service seem to be to increase coverage more globally. So, to start, they have added more files and repair guides that can be accessed, and specifically comment that support for televisions such as The Frame TV models will be introduced.

When it comes to making repairs, there are different options. Samsung mentions that support for self-repair includes changing elements such as the WiFi connection, different parts related to the image, power and turning on the television or sound . Of course, each component has its own repair process and system, normally requiring receiving replacement parts that, however, the user will be responsible for providing on their own. To do this, Samsung says that in most cases, the only thing we will need will be a standard Phillips-type screwdriver. Of course, in all cases it is recommended to be very careful and remove screws or change parts with special delicacy, especially if we are not very handy.

One of the new things that Samsung has announced regarding the Self-Repair program is the signing of agreements with more partners who will be in charge of providing the necessary parts and repair kits. It has been mentioned that they will increase their relationship with Encompass Supply Chain Solutions, with whom they work in the United States, and that they will also rely more on iFixit. These alliances provide the Korean company with the foundation they need so that Self-Repair can become something more real and provide a greater number of users with the opportunity to make repairs on their own quickly.

If we talk about televisions, some of the models that are already supported include many of the Smart TVs launched in 2023, as well as a significant number of monitors. In this year 2024, self-repairs will increase to also include foldable mobile phones. For users, this is great news and a demonstration of how times are changing.
