Apple releases its self-repair diagnostics tool in Europe
Late last year, Apple gave users in the US access to a very important self-repair tool. It’s called the Self Service Repair Diagnostics software. Now, this software is expanding to 32 European countries and will soon be coming to Canada. This software helps you diagnose and troubleshoot faulty or broken components on one product while running it on a second Apple device. It guides you through the process with on-screen prompts. When it’s done, you’ll know if something is actually broken. And what parts you need to order to repair the device.
The fact that the Apple Self-Repair Diagnostics tool is now available is one thing. But of course, it doesn’t mean that you have the skills to replace the broken parts with new ones. But at least you can get an overview of what is actually broken and needs to be repaired. The tool is also of great value to unlicensed repair shops, if you might prefer to use them over a licensed Apple repair center.
Apple allows private individuals and third parties to repair iPhones with original parts. The Americans also offer a service that helps them check whether the parts are actually genuine. The Self Service Repair Diagnostics tool can examine not only iPhones, but also MacBooks and Studio Displays. It is now available in 33 countries and 24 languages.
The self-service repair program offers access to original parts and tools as well as manuals for 42 Apple products. This recently includes the new MacBook Air 13″ M3 and Air 15″ M3. These are the same parts, tools and manuals used by employees in Apple Stores and by authorized Apple service providers. For more information, see the official website.
