OUR STORE LOCATION
Getting from Redfern to our Randwick store
Our shop sits on Belmore Road, Randwick’s main shopping strip, roughly 5–6 km by road from Redfern. Here are the easiest ways over.
By train and light rail: Train one stop from Redfern to Central, then take the L2 light rail from Central Chalmers Street to the last stop, Randwick. Belmore Road is a short walk from there. From the Surry Hills stop, the L2 ride takes about 16 minutes.
By bus or car: Buses run from Cleveland Street towards Randwick; check the Trip Planner for the current route. By car, allow extra time at peak hour and check parking signs on Belmore Road.
When a closer shop might suit you better: For a screen protector or a quick look, a Redfern or CBD shop may be easier. For a Galaxy display, battery or foldable fault, call first so we can check we have your part.

PROBLEMS
Common Samsung Galaxy problems and how to solve them
Samsung repair in Redfern terms means this: you get your Galaxy diagnosed and fixed at our Randwick bench, after a free quote, with the safe checks below done first so you don’t pay for something a restart could solve.
coloured vertical line is almost always a fault in the AMOLED display, often after a drop or pressure, sometimes showing up after a One UI update. If it’s still there in safe mode, it’s hardware and no setting will fix it.
Back up now with Smart Switch while you can still read the screen. The fix is a display replacement.
Bring it in when: the line stays after a restart and safe mode.
Yes. On curved models like the S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra, the glass and AMOLED panel are bonded, so the repair is a full display replacement. Don’t leave a cracked edge for long; it lets in dust and can cause ghost touches. We test the edges and S Pen before handover.
Bring it in when: the edge is cracked or the side of the screen reacts on its own.
We repair both. Common faults are lines along the crease, a lifting inner protector and a stiff or loose hinge. Stop folding it fully if the crease is cracked, and don’t peel the inner protector yourself. These jobs usually aren’t while-you-wait, so we’ll quote a price and timeframe after seeing the phone.
Bring it in when: the inner screen shows lines or spots, or the hinge won’t hold.
Check Settings > Battery for power-hungry apps first. Shutdowns at 20–30%, heat with light use or half-day battery life usually mean a worn battery. If the phone bulges or the back lifts, stop using and charging it: a swollen battery is a fire risk. Battery swaps are often done the same day.
Bring it in when: it shuts down mid-charge or shows any swelling.
Try another USB-C cable and adapter, and turn on Fast charging. Pocket lint often blocks the port; clean it gently with a wooden toothpick, never metal, with the phone off. A “moisture detected” warning means let it dry first. If the cable only works at an angle, the port needs replacing.
Bring it in when: charging cuts out with a known-good cable.
How to tell, including boot loops Restart, update One UI, then try safe mode: if the problem goes away, an app is the cause. The Samsung Members app’s Phone diagnostics can test the hardware. For a boot loop, charge for 30 minutes, then hold side key and volume down for 10 seconds. Back up before any repair.
Bring it in when: the fault stays in safe mode or the phone won’t start.
No. IP68 means water resistant in fresh water, not waterproof; salt water, pools and worn seals let water in. Turn it off, don’t charge it, and skip the rice and hairdryer. Corrosion builds over time, so get it checked even if it seems fine.
Bring it in when: it went into salt or pool water, or shows “moisture detected”.
Cracked screen? A plain cracked Galaxy screen with no lines or edge damage is a standard display replacement. You’ll find screen repair details for every model on our main Samsung repair page.

PROCESS
How a Samsung repair works
- Call or walk in. Ring 0470 505 835 with your Galaxy model so we can check parts, or just come in. No appointment needed.
- Diagnosis and a free quote. A technician checks the fault and tells you the cost and timeframe before any work starts. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay for the attempt.
- Repair and test. We fit the part, then test the screen, touch, charging, cameras and calls before handing it back.
- Collect with a 3-month warranty. The warranty covers the parts we replaced and our work. Keep your receipt; we’ll ask for it (or a bank statement) if you need to claim.
Before you bring it in: back up with Smart Switch or your Samsung or Google account, and bring your charger if the fault is battery or charging related.
