iPad & Tablet Repair in Glendale, CA
Typical price · From $75
iPad and tablet repair at Technoland in Glendale covers cracked screens, failing batteries, charging ports, and touchscreens that have stopped responding — on both iPads and Android tablets. The $75 diagnostic identifies the actual fault first, since a tablet that won't charge could be the port, the cable, or the battery itself, and those are different repairs at different costs. We're an independent shop, not Apple Authorized, which means honest pricing without the Apple markup — but it also means we'll tell you plainly when a repair is better handled elsewhere.
- Diagnosis first: a $75 bench diagnostic identifies the actual fault before any work is quoted, and it applies toward your repair.
- From $75 is a starting estimate, not a quote — the firm price comes after the diagnostic, and nothing proceeds until you approve it.
- Typical turnaround is 1-3 business days, depending on parts availability and how severe the fault turns out to be.
- Backed by a 30-day labor warranty, with parts warranty depending on the parts source. Steve has done this work for 38 years.

All pricing figures listed are starting estimates. A firm quote is provided after our $75 diagnostic inspection, which applies directly toward your total repair cost.
Final cost depends on the condition of your device and the severity of the failure, which we can only assess in person. Nothing proceeds until you approve the quote. Save 3% when you pay with cash or check.
Honest scope
What we don't do
We're not Apple Authorized. If your iPad is under AppleCare or has a known recall, Apple will service it directly, and we'll tell you that rather than take the job. For MacBooks specifically, see Mac repair.
A device with Activation Lock (iPad) or a Google account lock (Android) still turned on can't be fully tested or serviced until that's removed by the owner — that's how the manufacturer's security works, not something we can bypass, and we won't try. Exact parts pricing depends on your specific model and whether the part is stocked or needs to be sourced.
Why Technoland
Where we're different
- 01
One diagnostic tells you which fault you actually have — port, cable, or battery — before you pay for the wrong repair.
- 02
We work on iPads and Android tablets, not just one ecosystem.
- 03
Independent pricing, no Apple markup, and no upsells.
- 04
Every price here is an estimate. You get a firm quote after the diagnostic, and we don't start until you approve it.
Steve told me my old laptop wasn't worth fixing, instead of charging me to find out. That's the only kind of repair shop I trust.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Yes. Screen replacement starts at $75 in labor plus the cost of the part, which varies significantly by iPad model and whether the digitizer and display are one assembly or two. The diagnostic confirms the touchscreen and display underneath are otherwise healthy before we quote the repair.
Could be either, or the cable. A port that's loose or has debris in it looks identical from the outside to a failing battery. The $75 diagnostic tests all three before anything gets replaced, so you're not paying for a battery when the real problem was a $10 cable.
Both. Screens, batteries, and charging ports on Samsung, Amazon, and other Android tablets, same as iPads. Parts availability varies more by model on the Android side, which the diagnostic will tell you.
No, we're an independent shop. That means lower cost than Apple and no push toward a new device, but it also means AppleCare or recall repairs need to go to Apple directly — we'll tell you when that's the better option.
No. A device with Activation Lock or a Google account lock still active can't be serviced until the owner removes it — that's a security feature built into the device, not something we can or will bypass.
The diagnostic is same-day. Most screen and battery replacements run one to two days depending on whether the part is in stock or needs to be ordered for your specific model.
