Repairs of smartphones carried out in other than authorized points are much cheaper than in services “anointed” by the manufacturer of the device. Nevertheless, repairs using poor-quality replacements or the wrong tools often result in damage to the phone or deterioration of its usability. For this reason, Apple applies a rather aggressive policy that effectively prevents the removal of hardware and software defects by technicians employed at unauthorized points. Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung may apply a similar policy. This is the result of the material of Hugh Jeffreys, who shared with the observers interesting conclusions regarding the repair of the Galaxy A model 51. These can cause a lot of controversy.

It seems that Samsung is hindering the unauthorized repair of the Galaxy A model 51. Blocking the operation of one of the key functions of a smartphone is closely related to the replacement of components. Get to know the details.

When YouTuber Hugh Jeffreys became aware of potential blockades of unauthorized repair of Samsung smartphones, he decided to see how close the news would be to reality. In order to investigate the matter, the said gentleman purchased two Samsung Galaxy A smartphones 51 and proceeded to replace the components between them. As it turned out, the first problems emerged after the end of the trial. Concretely, the fingerprint reader stopped working after the screen replacement, which could mean that it is “paired” with a specific device.

The case becomes even more interesting when we find out that the moment when Samsung Galaxy A smartphones 51 hit the market, such situations did not take place. One of the security fixes (the September package) was probably to blame for everything. Perhaps it was in the aforementioned update that the manufacturer placed the appropriate blockade. The case is currently under development and it is not certain how many devices and smartphone models the manufacturer applies to. Perhaps the principal stakeholder will issue a statement over time explaining the reasons for the possible action.
