I droppend my phone, the screen is severely damaged, Can I get a replacement someware and install it myself?

Edit:

  • I expanded the title to handle the repair service in general, as it was found out here that the official repair shop (Optima Service) does not offer service outside Finland . IMO we need both an official solutions for the customers outside Finland, and some workaround for them while waiting for that.

Customers outside Finland, latest official info:

Finnish customers, repair service:

2nd edit, August 11: @Jolla, how about a Roadmap tag as suggested and voted high already? This is an important issue conserning a lot of customers and has a direct affect on Jolla's marketing value abroad.

With 10,000 phones around and more being sold every day, it's about time that spares begin to be available to users, since getting assistance directly from Jolla is not as easy as taking the phone to a care point.

Yes. If spare parts were available, then also independent repair shops could get them and repair Jollas (for faults outside of warranty, like dropping the phone).

I would upvote you by 100x if I could.

Customers outside Finland, latest official info: Oh, now that's almost funny. Link is to a page that is 'under construction', and so currently has no info at all ...

My screen too is cracked, but not from dropping and a single crack in the very top area. Emailed Jolla care but no response yet. EUR210 Plus postage is too expensive for me to consider. That is more than half the value of the phone.

I just broke my screen too, and since it's not under warranty I would have to pay for shipping myself too which means the cost for repair are almost the same as buying a new device (actually more expensive if we consider the snapdeal price).

Please start making replacement parts available so that we can service our devices locally, right now I am seriously considering asking friends in India/HK to get me a new device....

yeah , and this sucks me... Repair cost higher than a brand new phone in india. But hard to get from there + tax will come, BUT new second batterie , device, backcover and more for less than a official screen repair in Finland.... something goes wrong here

The Optima screen replacement price has been updated during the summer and costs now days 120EUR including VAT.

Naturally the transportation costs are still on top of that price, if you you are not living in Finland.

ok thanks for the information, sounds better! ;)

cvp ( 2014-10-06 15:09:30 +0200 )edit

The repair estimate is 120 EUR for the screen, shipping estimates (fedex) are 90-120 USD each direction, all in all way too expensive, and just like some people above pointed out my phone fell from less then 40 cm flat on its' face, very frustrating.

For now I'm looking into the snapdeal option.

Having a perfectly fine Jolla 1 that does not charge anymore, I asked for a repair. € 86,- plus € 30,- shipping to get the USB connector repaired OOW.

I brought the phone to my local maker space, and am now looking to source the USB PCA. It should be easier to repair an "Open Source" phone...
