Advice for a local repair store in Paderborn

[borgelkranz]

Good evening,

does any of the nice people here has advice for a local repair shop in Paderborn, Germany?

Background:

I dropped my phone and the display broke. So I ordered a new display in the Fairphone shop. When trying to change the display I realized that one of the screws does not get loose. So I cannot change the display. The screw does not grip and simply turns freely. Obviously it is not connected to the display at all.

Now I could send my phone to France for repair. But then I have to pay another approximately 130€ for shipping and repair. That leaves me with a spare display I already bought. Unsatisfying.

I reached out to Fairphone support and they advised me to ask for recommendations here.

Hope you can help!

Best

Bert

A friendly person in a repair shop in a supermarket could help me out and removed the screw. Thanks for the advice.
