Back to school season in Clermont, FL brings a familiar checklist: supplies, new shoes, updated school schedules — and for many families, a long-overdue look at the cracked screens and failing batteries that accumulated over summer break. Whether it is your teenager’s iPhone, a younger child’s tablet, or a laptop for school projects, RAD Gadget Repair has the on-site service Clermont families need before the school year hits full speed. Here is your complete repair guide for 2026.
Most Common Student Phone and Tablet Repairs
Kids and teenagers are hard on devices — it is just the nature of an active life. Based on what we see most often in Clermont and Winter Garden, here are the repairs that come up most frequently heading into the school year:
- Cracked screens: The most common issue by far. Summer drops, pool accidents, and car tumbles all add up. A cracked screen that is livable in July can become a real problem when your student is trying to take notes or communicate from school.
- Battery replacement: If a phone cannot make it through a school day without needing a charge, it needs a new battery. This is especially common in phones that are one to three years old.
- Charging port issues: Loose or intermittently working charging ports are a common result of students dropping their phones while plugged in or using budget charging cables.
- Tablet screen repair: iPads and Android tablets take a beating, especially when carried in backpacks or used for entertainment during travel. Screen cracks are the most common repair.
- Laptop issues: Keyboard damage, screen cracks, and charging port failures are frequent for students using laptops for schoolwork.
Cost-Saving Tips for Parents
Repairing is almost always cheaper than replacing, but there are a few specific ways to keep costs down as a parent in Clermont:
- Repair before the school year, not during: Booking in late July or early August means more scheduling flexibility. Once school starts, everyone rushes in at once.
- Combine repairs in one visit: If your child’s phone needs a new screen AND a new battery, having both done in one on-site visit saves on repeat service calls and is often discounted.
- Add protection after the repair: Once the screen is replaced, a quality tempered glass protector ($15 to $30) can prevent the next crack. We can advise on the best option for your child’s specific model.
- Check your carrier insurance: Some carrier insurance plans cover cracked screens with a deductible lower than the out-of-pocket repair cost. It is worth checking your plan first.
Screen Protector Recommendations to Prevent Future Damage
Not all screen protectors are equal. Plastic film protectors scratch easily and do not prevent cracks. For student devices, we recommend:
- Tempered glass protectors at 9H hardness — these absorb impact and genuinely reduce crack risk
- Full-coverage cases with raised edges around the screen and camera — the edges protect the screen when the phone lands face-down
- MIL-STD-810G certified cases — this drop-test rating means the case has been tested for real-world drops from 4 feet or more
