Fast and Reliable Screen and Battery Repairs
Cracked screens and battery issues are among the most common smartphone problems faced by Iowa residents. A single drop can damage your display, and repeated charging cycles can weaken your battery over time. The Phone Plug specializes in fast, reliable, and long-lasting screen and battery repairs designed to restore both appearance and functionality.
Our screen repairs include full-display replacements, addressing damage such as shattered glass, unresponsive touch sensors, dead pixels, flickering screens, and display discoloration. We use high-quality replacement screens that match the brightness, clarity, and sensitivity of your original display to ensure a seamless user experience.
Battery repairs are equally important. If your phone drains quickly, charges slowly, or powers off unexpectedly, our technicians provide accurate battery diagnostics to determine whether replacement is needed. We install high-capacity, long-life batteries designed to handle modern usage patterns, ensuring your device stays powered throughout the day.
With many repairs completed within 30–60 minutes, The Phone Plug allows Iowa customers to return to daily tasks without long delays. Our careful installation process and post-repair testing guarantee durability and top-tier performance after every service.
