Whatever is wrong with your Dell Streak, there's a good chance that UK-based Dell Streak Repairs can fix it for you.
They'll repair a broken screen, replace a faulty digitizer or camera, fix Streaks with liquid damage, resolve audio and charging problems, and fix headphone jacks, proximity sensors, and GSM/WiFi issues. They'll also replace a dead battery (I would hope that you could do this yourself!), patch up a busted mainboard, and even install Android updates. I'm not sure whether this last service includes rooting and installing custom ROMs, but it costs £25, which is outrageous if it's just an official OTA update. The company also seems willing to fix other problems not mentioned above—you can contact them for a quote—and offers a 12-month warranty on repairs. Turnaround time is quick too.
So although some of the prices are high (especially for international customers), they seem like a good place to turn to when your warranty doesn't cover whatever just happened to your Streak.
[Dell Streak Repairs] Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
Get youself an Outter Box!
Hopefully this is start of the repair centres opening. Hey Jenn are you headed to MWC?
No, I’m spending that week at home. Valentine’s Day in Barcelona sure sounds nice, though!
Nice to know about this.
Does anyone know of a company that offers breakage insurance for the Streak? I’ve got an unlocked one on T-Mobile, and I can’t get insurance through the carrier since it isn’t a phone they offer.
Just FYI, I talked to Dell, and you can buy an extended protection plan for $89/year that covers pretty much any damage. Nice thing about that is there’s no deductable, so it’s really cheaper than the insurance you can get through your carrier.
Only catch is you have to buy it with the phone or within 30 days after. Oh, and you have to deal with the numbskulls at Dell.
agreed, like the Dell streak, not so much the Dell chimps
Did anyone buy the EPP at the US launch? Dell says it was available, but I don’t believe them. The are not very good with the truth.
amen to that. I got the commuter case along with order.
