![]() Computer memory chips are the best known example of this, while the price of graphics cards has skyrocketed in recent times due to bitcoin miners buying them en masse. Tammy does also add that there’s a third factor in determining the price that’s less significant tho, which is the good ol’ economic theory of supply and demand. She can sometimes pay different prices for the same shipment of parts after just two weeks. In fact, many electronic parts have volatile prices that jump and dip every few weeks. LCD screens are generally cheaper, but cost is determined by whether it’s just a small crack on the outer glass layer (RM150+), or if the touch sensors are affected too (RM400+). Some of the spare screens Tammy has in her shop feat. China phones are generally cheaper – a Huawei P20 Pro screen would be about RM1,000, while it’s less ‘pro’ brother the P20 would set you back RM300. Whoah… with those kinds of prices, it’s surprising to know that even screens are covered in the Maxis Zerolution360 plan. An old Note 2 screen (our Head of Biz asked) will set you back RM500. Screen fixes for the iPhone X meanwhile would cost you at least RM1,500, with other reports of charges up to RM1,800. Replacing the screen of a Galaxy S9 for example would set you back at least RM1,500 in today’s market price. Tammy puts Samsung at the top of the price list (AMOLED is nice to see nice to hold once broken jialat). Locally made also got, but that one really cannot pakai. but won’t get the same like original Gorilla Glass la. “Actually, the China ori stuff is not bad one. Well, according to Tammy, it usually varies according to two main factors: the first is whether your screen replacement is ‘original’ (not straight from the phone company la, but using same spare parts as official service centers) or ‘China original’ approved parts (basically a high quality replica that’s not official). It’s quite timely too, cos as you might agree, a lot of the worry with broken phones is that there are a lot of uncertainties with repairs. Will the parts be original? How long will you not have a phone to use? And of course… how much will it cost? To answer these questions, we spoke to a Tammy (not real name), a phone repair shop owner in PJ, who’s been repairing phones for the last 8 years. ![]() OMG COOL RIGHT!?
