Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Repair Vienna

The original display costs EUR 129, the certified aftermarket display EUR 109. The A42 5G has a side fingerprint sensor in the power button – both display variants are fully compatible, no recalibration needed.

Side – the sensor sits in the power key. That is an advantage over the A40 and A41 with their in-display sensor: a screen swap requires no fingerprint calibration, which makes the repair simpler and cheaper.

Yes, with a booked drop-off appointment in the 22nd district, alternatively pickup service or send-in. Your Galaxy A42 5G is collected via the pickup service in Vienna or you send it in insured by post.

No – the A42 5G has no official IP rating and is not protected against water ingress. In the event of liquid damage switch it off immediately and commission a diagnosis (25 EUR – waived on repair).

The Snapdragon 750G and the 5G support keep the A42 5G fit for everyday use even in 2025. A battery swap for EUR 69 or a screen repair from EUR 109 can extend the device considerably. With a residual value of around EUR 100–140, an aftermarket display is economically justifiable.

The Snapdragon 750G (5nm) is unusual for the A series and offered solid performance with efficient 5G support in 2020. It is easy to repair and all our diagnostic tools fully cover this platform.

A screen or battery swap usually takes 1–2 days after arrival. For water damage or logic-board problems 3–5 working days. Confirmation of receipt and cost estimate by email before the repair starts.

The diagnosis (25 EUR – waived on repair) checks: display, battery capacity, charging function, cameras, microphone, speaker, fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 5G mobile network. A written report is included.

With a screen or battery swap no data loss is expected. With severe water damage a loss cannot be ruled out. A backup before sending in is advisable.

The A33 5G (2022) uses the Exynos 1280 instead of the Snapdragon 750G, has IP67 water protection (A42 5G: no IP rating) and a smaller 6.4-inch display (A42: 6.6 inch). The A33 5G is the more modern and more robust model. Spare parts are not compatible.

Yes, a 6-month warranty on all repairs and spare parts. It covers material and workmanship defects. Damage from another drop or moisture is excluded.

The new battery for the A42 5G costs EUR 69. The large 5000 mAh cell lasts a long time, but after a few years the wear shows in a quickly dropping percentage reading and shutdowns in the cold. After the swap we check capacity and charging performance before the device goes back.

The original panel for EUR 129 delivers exactly the factory quality, the certified aftermarket panel from EUR 109 is also an AMOLED panel with clean colour rendering. The fingerprint sensor works with both. For a device from 2020 we usually advise the aftermarket panel because the price-performance ratio fits better.

Yes, from the Innere Stadt to Liesing. You book a time slot online, the courier collects the A42 5G from you and brings it back after the repair. What the pickup costs in your zone is shown directly during booking.
