If you use a
smartphone and it breaks somewhere, the cost of fixing it is prohibitive. Now, in the case of Samsung products, even in our country, consumers will be able to buy repair tools and parts directly and fix them.

The details will be given by reporter Jeongyeon.

This is a guide video released by
Samsung Electronics on how to self-repair smartphones.

Until now, if a smartphone or laptop broke down, you had to visit a service center, but in the future, you can go to the Samsung Electronics Service website, order self-repair tools and replacement parts, and then repair it yourself.

Self-repair products include the Galaxy smartphone S series, as well as laptops and 32-inch TV models, which include liquid crystals, back covers, and charging ports for smartphones, touchpads, fingerprint recognition power buttons, liquid crystals, and batteries for laptops.

In the case of smartphone LCDs, self-repair can save 2,5 won in labor costs.

Once you've replaced the parts yourself, you'll need to use the app to make sure the repairs are in order.

Since the U.S. government outlawed the practice of restricting manufacturers' right to repair in 2021, both Apple and Samsung have already implemented self-repair schemes in the U.S.

At the end of last year, our National Assembly also enacted the "Promotion of the Transition to a Circular Economy Society" Act, which guarantees consumers' right to repair themselves.

[Seo Young-tae, Director of the Ministry of Environment (January): The core of the circular economy is actually to ensure that products can be used for a long time. We will prepare a detailed plan this year so that it can be implemented in 1.]

This year, the Ministry of Environment plans to set up a product range to guarantee the right to repair, and to determine the types of parts that each company is obliged to secure and the retention period.

As a result, other electronics companies other than Samsung are expected to follow suit in the future.
