Common repair symptoms

Know the warning signs.
We’ll handle the diagnosis.

Tell us what changed, what the device is doing, and when it started. You do not need to diagnose the failure yourself—we confirm the repair path before billable work begins.

Professional diagnostics

Start with the symptom, not a guess.

Screen damage, charging problems, heat, battery issues, and no-power faults can overlap. We document what is happening, inspect the device, and explain the practical next step.

Phones & tablets

Cracked glass, display damage, or touch problems

Black spots, colored lines, flickering, dead touch areas, sharp glass, or spreading cracks are all good reasons to have the device inspected.

What Happens Next

We identify which display components are affected and confirm the available repair options before work begins.

Battery & power

Fast drain, shutdowns, unusual heat, or swelling

Battery wear and power faults can create similar symptoms, so we verify the cause before recommending replacement.

Safety First

If a battery appears swollen or the device becomes unusually hot, stop using and charging it and have it evaluated promptly.

Laptops & computers

Overheating, loud fans, crashes, or slow performance

Cooling, storage, hardware, and software problems can feel very similar from the outside.

What We Evaluate

We look at the symptoms and overall system health, then explain whether cleaning, repair, upgrade, or software service makes sense.

Game consoles

Console repairs across every major platform

We evaluate PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, handheld, and other console families for HDMI, power, storage, cooling, and controller-related problems.

Service Availability

Support depends on the model, failure, parts availability, and practical repairability. Send us the exact console model and symptoms and we will confirm the next step.

Blacksburg & campus life

When your device is also your class, work, and social life.

Tell us about class deadlines, travel dates, remote-work needs, or other timing constraints so we can give you realistic options before the repair begins.

Back up when possibleIf the device still works, save important files before service whenever you can.
Bring related accessoriesFor charging or power problems, the charger or cable can help us reproduce the issue.
Liquid exposurePower the device down and avoid repeatedly testing or charging it before inspection.

Still unsure? Ask us in chat. You should not have to complete a repair intake just to get a simple answer.

How Long Will My Repair Take?+

Many common repairs can be completed the same day. Timing depends on diagnosis, device model, parts availability, and your approval. We confirm the expected turnaround before work begins.

Will I Know the Price Before You Start?+

Yes. After diagnosis, you receive a clear estimate. Work begins only after you approve it.

What Should I Do Before Bringing in My Device?+

Back up important data when possible and bring any accessories related to the problem. Do not submit passwords or passcodes through this website.

Do Repairs Include a Warranty?+

Eligible repairs include a six-month workmanship warranty. Coverage depends on the service and parts used, and your final service record identifies the terms for your repair.

Can You Recover My Data?+

We can evaluate many accessible drives and devices and attempt recovery when appropriate. Data recovery is highly dependent on the device and damage, so no amount or outcome can be guaranteed.

Do Repeat Customers Receive a Discount?+

Frequent-repair savings may be available on eligible services. Ask the shop to apply the current offer to your work order.

What Kinds of Devices Do You Repair?+

We service many phones, tablets, computers, and game consoles. Submit your model and issue and we will confirm service availability.

Can I Mail My Device to GotCracked?+

Yes, after we approve your mail-in request. Do not ship before confirmation. Securely pack the device, include the request number, and send it to GotCracked, 700 North Main St, Ste D, Blacksburg, VA 24060. Return shipping and insurance are documented on the estimate or work order.

My Screen Is Cracked But Still Works. Should I Have It Checked?+

Yes if the crack is spreading, glass is sharp, touch is unreliable, or the display develops lines, spots, or flickering. We can confirm which part of the display assembly is affected.

What Should I Do If My Device Will Not Charge?+

Bring the device and, when practical, the charger or cable you normally use. Charging trouble can come from more than one component, so we confirm the cause before recommending repair.

What Should I Do If the Battery Looks Swollen?+

Stop using and charging the device and have it evaluated promptly. Do not press the enclosure closed or puncture the battery.

What Should I Do After Liquid Exposure?+

Power the device down and avoid repeatedly turning it on or charging it. Bring it in for evaluation so we can assess the extent of the damage.

Do I Need an Appointment?+

Not always. Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments are useful when you want to reserve a time window. For mail-in service, submit a request and wait for approval before shipping your device.
