Repairing older TCL phones
TCL phones from these years are LCD phones with plastic bodies and no water rating, which sets the pattern: screens and liquid damage are the jobs, and both are inexpensive. The 10 Pro and 20 Pro 5G have curved AMOLED screens that cost more and crack at the edges. The TCL Flip and Flip 2 have small inner and outer screens and a hinge that we service.
Models covered
TCL 10L, 10 Pro, 10 5G, 20 Pro 5G, 20S, 20 XE, 30 XE, 30 Z, 30 V, Stylus 5G and the TCL Flip and Flip 2. If yours is not named here, bring it in anyway; if it has a circuit board, we work on it.
Screen replacement
Screens for the common older TCL models are in stock at both stores and cost less than current-model screens. We replace the full assembly so touch and brightness match the original, and we transfer any sensors the phone needs.
Battery replacement
On any phone more than two years old the battery is the most common repair. Fast drain, shutdowns in the cold, or a screen lifting at one edge from a swelling cell all mean a new battery. We fit the cell, reseal the phone and check charging before you leave.
Charging port, cameras and water damage
A port that only charges at an angle is usually lint and cleaning is free; a dead port is replaced the same day. Cameras, speakers, microphones and buttons are modular and replaced when the part is in stock. After a spill or a swim, do not charge it: bring it in and we clean the board, dry it and test every function before replacing only what failed.
Turnaround
Most older TCL repairs are done while you wait, in 30 to 60 minutes. Parts we have to order land within 3 to 5 business days.

Questions
Older TCL repair FAQ
Do you fix the TCL Flip?
Yes. Screens, batteries and hinges for the TCL Flip and Flip 2 are stocked.
Is a TCL phone worth fixing?
For a screen or battery, yes; the parts are among the cheapest we buy. For heavy water damage we tell you honestly if it is not.
What fails most?
Screens, then water damage, then charging ports.
How much does an older TCL repair cost?
Less than a current model in almost every case, because parts for older phones are cheaper. We quote after a free diagnostic and before any work starts, with a one-year warranty and our low-price guarantee.
How long does an older TCL repair take?
Screens and batteries for most of these models are in stock at both stores, so most repairs are done while you wait, usually in 30 to 60 minutes. Anything we have to order lands within 3 to 5 business days.
Will I lose my data?
No. Screens, batteries, ports, cameras and back panels do not touch your data. We only reset a phone if you ask us to, or if a board-level repair requires it, and we tell you first.
