Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the most common questions about phone, console, computer and tablet repair at JWS Electronics Repair.
What devices does JWS repair?
JWS repairs iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, Android devices, iPads, tablets, laptops, desktops, gaming PCs, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and controllers. Board-level micro-soldering is also available for devices that need component-level repair.
How long do most repairs take?
Phone screen and battery repairs are often completed in 30–60 minutes when parts are in stock. Console HDMI repairs typically take 1–3 business days. Computer and laptop repairs usually take 1–2 business days. Motherboard and micro-soldering work may take 2–5 business days depending on complexity.
Do you offer same-day repair?
Many common phone repairs — screens, batteries, charging ports — can be completed the same day if parts are available. Console, computer and board-level repairs generally require more time for proper diagnostics and testing.
How much does a repair cost?
Repair pricing depends on the device, model and issue. Use the instant quote tool on the website for a fast estimate, or call JWS for model-specific pricing. Every repair includes a clear quote before work begins.
Do you use quality parts?
Yes. JWS explains part options — including the difference between OEM-quality and aftermarket parts — before starting any repair. The focus is on dependable outcomes rather than racing to the lowest price. Warranty coverage is included on replaced parts.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes. Repairs performed by JWS include warranty coverage on replaced parts. If an issue arises after a covered repair, bring the device back and JWS will evaluate it.
Do you fix PS5 and Xbox HDMI ports?
Yes. HDMI port repair is one of the most common services at JWS. PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One HDMI repairs are available for both walk-in and mail-in customers.
Can I mail in my device for repair?
Yes. JWS accepts mail-in repairs for phones, tablets, game consoles, controllers and motherboards. Submit the online mail-in form, ship the device securely and JWS will contact you with a diagnosis and quote. Free return shipping is included when you approve the repair.
What areas does JWS serve?
JWS is located at 1167 Deer Park Ave. in North Babylon, NY and serves surrounding communities including Deer Park, West Babylon, Babylon, Lindenhurst, Bay Shore, Brentwood, Copiague, Amityville, Commack, Islip, Farmingdale, Massapequa, Suffolk County and Nassau County. Mail-in repair extends service nationwide.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended to reduce wait times, but walk-ins are welcome during business hours. You can book an appointment online through the booking page.
What are the shop hours?
JWS is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The shop is closed on Sundays.
Can you repair a phone that will not turn on?
Potentially, yes. No-power issues can be caused by battery failure, charging circuit problems or board-level damage. JWS runs diagnostics to identify the root cause before recommending a path. Micro-soldering is available for board-level failures.
Do you repair water-damaged phones?
Yes. JWS performs ultrasonic board cleaning and component-level inspection for liquid damage. The sooner a water-damaged device is brought in, the better the chance of recovery. Waiting allows corrosion to spread and reduces repair success rates.
Can you fix controller stick drift?
Yes. JWS replaces analog stick modules on PS5 DualSense, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch Pro and Joy-Con controllers. The replacement addresses the root cause of drift rather than temporary calibration fixes.
Do you repair MacBooks?
Yes. JWS handles MacBook screen repairs, battery replacement, charging issues, keyboard problems and board-level liquid damage recovery. Diagnostics and an honest quote are provided before any work begins.
What if the repair is not worth it?
JWS is upfront about repair economics. If the cost of repair approaches or exceeds the replacement value of the device, you will hear that before any work begins. There is no charge for the initial diagnostic assessment.
Do you sell phone cases or screen protectors?
Screen protectors are available and recommended after screen repairs. Ask about protection options when picking up your device.
How do I get a repair quote?
Use the instant quote tool on the website for a fast estimate, call the shop directly, or book an appointment for an in-person diagnostic. All three options are free with no obligation.
Where can I get my phone screen repaired near me on Long Island?

Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. JWS serves Deer Park, West Babylon, Babylon, Lindenhurst, Bay Shore, Brentwood, Commack, Islip and surrounding Long Island communities.
How much does it cost to fix a cracked phone screen?
Phone screen repair costs vary by model. Older iPhone models may start around $50–$80, while newer models like the iPhone 15 or 16 Pro Max can range higher. Samsung Galaxy repairs depend on whether the device has an OLED or LCD display. Use the instant quote tool on the JWS website for model-specific pricing with no obligation.
How much does PS5 HDMI port repair cost?
PS5 HDMI port repair at JWS typically costs less than buying a replacement console. The exact price depends on whether only the port connector needs replacement or if the retimer IC or other board components are also affected. JWS provides a diagnosis and clear quote before any work begins. Mail-in repair is available for customers outside the Long Island area.
Can a PS5 with no signal be fixed?
In most cases, yes. A PS5 with no video signal is usually caused by a damaged HDMI port, a faulty HDMI retimer IC, or a blown filter. JWS performs board-level diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause and has the micro-soldering equipment to repair it. This is one of the most common repairs at JWS.
Is it worth repairing a cracked phone screen or should I buy a new phone?
For most phones less than 3–4 years old, repair is significantly cheaper than replacement. A screen repair can cost a fraction of what a new phone costs and keeps all your data intact. JWS will tell you upfront if the repair cost approaches replacement value so you can make an informed decision.
What is micro-soldering and do you offer it?
Micro-soldering is a precision repair technique that involves soldering tiny components on a device motherboard under a microscope. It is used for HDMI port replacement on consoles, charging IC repair on phones, and fixing board-level damage from liquid exposure. JWS offers micro-soldering for phones, tablets, laptops and gaming consoles.
Do you fix computers and laptops in North Babylon?
Yes. JWS repairs desktops, laptops and gaming PCs at the North Babylon location. Services include screen replacement, battery replacement, virus and malware removal, hardware upgrades (RAM, SSD), charging port repair and board-level diagnostics. Walk-ins are welcome.

Pack the device securely in a box with padding — no loose accessories. Once received, JWS runs diagnostics and contacts you with a quote. Return shipping is free when you approve the repair.
Can you fix a Nintendo Switch that won't charge?
Yes. Common Switch charging issues include a damaged USB-C port, a faulty charging IC on the board, or a depleted battery. JWS can diagnose and repair all three at the component level. Both walk-in and mail-in service are available.
