Samsung has expanded its self-repair program to a handful of European countries

 

Samsung has expanded its self-repair program to a handful of European countries, following its launch in the U.S. last year.  The program equips users with tools and parts to repair supported devices, such as Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 smartphones, and Galaxy Book Pro regular and Galaxy Book Pro 360 laptops.  The program will be available in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K. In those countries, ASWO and 2Service will handle sales and distribution of the repair kits. Galaxy device owners will be able to replace various components, such as screens, back panels, and charging connectors. Laptop parts available for repair include case fronts, displays, batteries, and more, though these are limited to Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the U.K. The cost of repair kits varies, with tools available for under €30 ($32.70) and individual parts priced accordingly. Newer models like the Galaxy S23 series are not yet included but could be added in the future. In Europe, the self-repair program is not supported by iFixit as it is in the U.S.
