    Fixing IPad in Shenzhen

    Has anyone travel to Louwu and get their tablet fixed? If so can anyone point a shop that is reliable? Thanks

    Lowu isn't a good place, go to Futian, Huaqiang area. There are a few phone dedicated malls.

    Google for: Tongtiandi Telecommunication Market / 通天地通讯市场

    That is a component level place with a few repair shops. It's in Shennan Middle Rd, same Huaqiang MTR station.

    iPad repair can take a while because taking off the glued display is quite tricky.

    Can you really save that much? Enough to overcome the extra costs and hassle of travelling to Shenzhen?

    Luohu/Lowu to Huaqiang Lu is 5 stops. And SEG has very little phone stuff. First 2 floors are electronic components, and upper floors are PC stuff. I rarely go there now. Walk 100m up on HuaqiangBei and there is a phone mall on the right that is OK, but not as good as Tongtiandi .

    Is it cheaper? If you have a visa, yes.

    I wouldn't trust my electronics in Shenzhen. There's the risk that components are changed out, if a problem occurs they probably wouldn't fix it. Less protections and they don't want to lose any money. I would do it in HK - cost is cheap too in HK. Going to Shenzhen will add time and at least Hk$70 MTR costs. Doubt it is that much cheaper in Shenzhen.

    Yes Apple products are made in China/Shenzhen but at a factory likely controlled by westerners at Apple and with QC controls. No way to judge quality or service at a random shop in Shenzhen until after we get home and it's broken again.

    In HK easier to take back to fix if any problems. I regularly return or exchange broken items in HK without issues.
