Kommersant reports that for the repair of smartphones, laptops and other equipment in Russia, due to a shortage of components, service centers are beginning to use components of new and stored devices.
A number of manufacturers have announced that the cessation of production of their devices and spare parts in Russia. Among them: Apple, Samsung, Dell, Asus and others.
A significant proportion of service centers were announced that the gadgets had expired due to a shortage of spare parts. The situation is further complicated by the beginning of the sale in Russia of equipment imported through parallel imports. Service and maintenance costs, which were previously borne by manufacturers, have now been transferred to distributors.
Electronics is registered in one of the EAEU countries – for example, in Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, and also, for example, in Serbia or Montenegro. Buyers provided warranty service in the countries.
The situation is complicated by the fact that in Kazakhstan, first of all, such a volume of components for repairs that is required now was not supplied, and most of them went through Russia.
