A cracked screen, a battery that hardly charges anymore, or a display that simply won’t turn on. It’s very frustrating when your iPad breaks and you can no longer read, browse, game, or work on it. Luckily, you can come to MediaMarkt for iPad repairs – even if you didn’t buy your device from us. We’re always here to help.
At every MediaMarkt store in the Netherlands, Smartbar repair specialists are ready to fix your broken iPad. These well-trained technicians take great care with each repair. MediaMarkt has a total of 55 stores across the Netherlands. Here are just a few of the locations where you can have your iPad repaired:
Is your iPad broken and do you want MediaMarkt to repair it? Make sure to back up your device if possible. There is always a risk of data loss during the repair. Another important tip: turn off location services on your iPad before handing it in.
Our Smartbar technicians repair iPads and other devices every day, so they usually solve your issue within a few hours. The most common iPad repairs involve:
Accidents happen. Before you know it, your iPad falls off the sofa and the screen cracks. Or perhaps it was pressed against something sharp in your bag, leaving scratches on the display. Fortunately, our repair experts can usually replace the glass within a few hours and, if you’d like (for an extra charge), add a screen protector at the same time. The cost of replacing your screen depends on your iPad model. It also matters whether you’re insured or still covered by warranty.
Under normal use, your iPad lasts about 10 to 12 hours on a single battery charge. If your tablet runs out much faster, your battery may need replacing. You might also notice your iPad charging more slowly. On iPads running iOS 10.2.1 or later, you can check whether your battery requires servicing. Go to Settings -> Battery. If you see the message ‘Your iDevice battery may need servicing’, it’s time for a replacement. MediaMarkt Smartbar technicians can take care of this within a few hours.
Sometimes your iPad refuses to switch on, either because the battery won’t charge or due to software issues. First try a different charger, and if that doesn’t help, try resetting your iPad (check your manual or look online for instructions for your specific model). If your iPad still won’t respond, the problem is likely software related. While you may be able to attempt some fixes yourself, MediaMarkt repair experts can usually diagnose and solve the issue quickly.
At every MediaMarkt, Smartbar specialists are ready to help. Bring your iPad to a nearby store and our technicians will get started as soon as possible. In many cases, your iPad can be repaired within two hours. Sometimes more time is needed, for example if a replacement screen must be ordered. Repairs are free if you are still under warranty and the damage wasn’t your fault. If your iPad is insured, many repairs will also cost you nothing.
Sometimes we unfortunately cannot repair your iPad – for example in cases of water damage, or when the display is completely bent. Even if repairs are possible, it’s often cheaper to buy a new iPad. Looking for a new tablet that’s also suitable for work or study? Choose the iPad Pro or iPad Air. If you want a family-friendly tablet, go for the iPad. For those on the move, the iPad Mini is a compact choice. We’ll be happy to help you find the right model.
