Can you repair Liquid Damage?

Baby we’re the best! We have an 80% success rate repairing handsets diagnosed with liquid ingress (water damage). Of the 20% remaining we can usually salvage data from at least 50% of those in cases where we cannot save the actual handset itself.

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept cash, Eftpos and all major credit cards. We offer pre-approved business customers monthly accounts for their mobile phone fleet.

Do you charge for a quote?

At Fone King the quote fee is $59. This is deducted from the total of the repair cost if the quote is approved.

Do you offer customers a warranty with your repairs?

If we didn’t we wouldn’t be the brand we claim to be. Fone King offers a standard warranty of six (6) months covering parts and labour. Liquid damage repairs receive a three (3) month parts and labour warranty. Warranty does not cover further liquid damage, physical damage or attempted modifications. If Fone King warranty stickers are tampered with or removed, warranty is voided.

What exactly does the warranty cover?

The warranty only covers the part(s) replaced and related labour. Warranty is voided by subsequent liquid or physical damage of any kind.

Do you use original parts?

Through tactical partnerships and relationships with suppliers globally, we are proud to say that a solid 95% of our parts used are 100% OEM. In cases where OEM parts are genuinely unavailable, high-grade aftermarket parts are sourced and the same six (6) month warranty applies.
