Phone Repair in Alexandria, MN — Walk-In, No Appointment
Computer Specialists Unlimited has been the local go-to for phone repair since we expanded into mobile devices in 2019. Customers come from Alexandria, Nelson, Garfield, Carlos, Holmes City, Osakis, Sauk Centre, Glenwood, and surrounding Douglas County communities. Bring your device by 610 Broadway St — no appointment, no service fee just to look at it for hardware repairs. We diagnose for free and quote up front. Power and data recovery cases that need deeper investigation carry a diagnostic fee ($45 minimum) which applies toward the repair.
What We Repair
Cracked & Damaged Screens
Glass replacement, LCD swaps, OLED displays. Most common iPhone and Galaxy models — same-day service when parts are in stock (and we keep popular models stocked). For less common devices we usually have parts in 1–3 days.
Battery Replacement
Phone dies by 2 PM? Wont hold a charge overnight? Swelling out of the case? Modern phone batteries wear out after 2–3 years. We replace them with quality cells and the device feels new again. Walking out with the same phone but a full days battery life is one of the most satisfying repairs we do.
Charging Port
If you have to wiggle the cable to get it to charge, the port is failing. Lint, corrosion, and bent pins from the inevitable yank-out are the usual culprits. We clean or replace the port and the connection is solid again.
Water Damage — Data Recovery Only
Dropped it in the lake? Toilet? Coffee? Do not turn it on. Bring it to us as fast as possible. The longer water sits inside, the more corrosion damages the components. We will attempt to recover your data — photos, contacts, messages — and we have a strong success rate when devices come in quickly.
Important: Water-damaged devices are unpredictable. We do not warranty water damage repairs and we do not guarantee the device will be functional after our work. Components can fail weeks or months later from corrosion that started before you brought it in. If your priority is recovering data, we are likely your best option. If your priority is a working phone, replacement is usually the right call.
Cameras, Speakers, Buttons, Microphones
Front camera blurry? Earpiece wont play call audio? Power button stuck? These individual components are replaceable on most devices and the repair is typically same-day.
Software Issues
Boot loops, factory reset assistance, data transfer to a new phone, account recovery — software side too. We can also help with iCloud lockouts, but you will need proof of ownership.
Devices We Service
iPhone: 5 through the latest model. iPad: all generations including iPad Pro, Air, Mini.
Samsung Galaxy: S, Note, A series, Galaxy Tab. Google Pixel, OnePlus, and most other Android brands.
If your device isn’t common, call us at 320-763-9020 — we likely can still order parts.

Why Local Repair Beats Mail-In
Mail-in services charge less up front, but you wait a week, ship the device twice (each direction risks more damage), and if there’s a problem you’re emailing customer service in another country. We’re a 5-minute drive away. You can pick up the same day, talk face-to-face with the technician who did the work, and bring it back if anything is wrong. The trade-off is worth it for a device you depend on every day.
Common Questions
How much does phone screen repair cost?
Pricing varies by model. Common iPhone screens run $80–$250 depending on the generation. Higher-end OLED replacements (Pro Max, Ultra models) cost more. We quote up front before any work begins — call 320-763-9020 with your model for a price.
Will repair void my phones manufacturer warranty?
If your device is still under Apple or Samsung warranty, take it to them first — third-party repair voids that warranty. If you’re out of warranty, our repair is just as good as theirs and significantly cheaper. We use OEM-grade parts and back our work for 30 days. Warranty does not cover physical damage, water damage, or other accidents that occur after our repair — if you drop the phone again, the new screen is not covered.
Can you fix a phone with water damage that wont turn on?
For water damage we focus on data recovery rather than guaranteed repair. Bring it in fast and do not turn it on. We will attempt to recover your photos, contacts, and messages, and in many cases the phone is functional afterward — but water damage repairs come without warranty because corrosion is unpredictable. If the device is fully working after our work, treat it as a bonus.
