Official Service vs. Unofficial Workshops: Where is Cheaper?
The first question that arises from the owner of the Redmi Note 9 Pro with a broken screen: where to carry the phone – to the official Xiaomi service or to a private workshop? The price difference can reach 30-50%, but there are nuances.
Xiaomi authorized service centers (such as Mi Service or partner workshops) will offer you an original display module with a warranty of up to 6 months, but the price is higher because of:
- 📦 Original parts – Xiaomi only supplies screens to its partners
- 🔐 Warranty obligations – the service is responsible for the quality of repairs
- 💼 Brand markups – working in an official center is always more expensive
In informal workshops, the prices are lower, but the risks are higher, and they often use similar (non-original) screens made in China or Korea.
⚠️ Attention: In 20% of cases, after replacing the non-original screen, users complain of poor color reproduction, uneven lighting or problems with the touchscreen after 3-6 months.
For clarity, compare prices in different types of services (data is current in June 2026):
| Type of service | Screen price (ruble) | Cost of work (ruble) | Final price (ruble) | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official Xiaomi service | 6 500 – 8 000 | 1 500 – 2 500 | 8 000 – 10 500 | 6 months |
| Informal workshop (original) | 5 000 – 7 000 | 1 000 – 2 000 | 6 000 – 9 000 | 3–6 months |
| Informal workshop (analogue) | 2 500 – 4 000 | 1 000 – 1 500 | 3 500 – 5 500 | 1-3 months |
| Self-sustaining replacement | 3 000 – 4 500 | — | 3 000 – 4 500 | No. |

The replacement process takes 1.5-3 hours and includes the following steps:
- Turn off the phone and remove it. SIM-map.
- Heat the edges of the screen with a hairdryer (temperature ~60°C) to soften the glue.
- Carefully tuck the screen with a plastic mediator, starting at the bottom edge.
- Disconnect the display and sensor plumes (they are attached to the motherboard).
- Install a new screen, connect the plumes and check the performance.
- Apply a new glue and press the screen for fixation.

What if the screen doesn’t work after replacement?
Typical schemes of deception in services: how not to overpay?
Unfortunately, the smartphone repair market is full of unscrupulous workshops that profit from customer ignorance, and here are the most common screen swap schemes for the Redmi Note 9 Pro:
- 💸 "The "urgent" markup -- you're told that you need to get the repair done urgently, and they charge 20 to 30 percent more. In fact, it takes 1-2 hours to change the screen, and the urgency doesn't justify the premium.
- 🔄 Spare part swaps -- you get a budget version, but they charge you for the original. Check the screen for color reproduction and sensitivity immediately after the repair.
- 🔧 "Extra work" -- the master says you need to replace the battery, or clean the board, even though it was originally just a screen.
- 📄 No warranty - some workshops only guarantee work, not parts.
How do you defend yourself?
- 📋 Require a check and a contract - it must indicate the screen model, the cost of the spare part and work separately, as well as the warranty period.
- 🔍 Check the screen before paying – turn on the phone, check for colors, brightness, touchscreen and no broken pixels.
- 📱 Film the process on video - this disciplines the masters and will help prove the replacement of spare parts.
💡
If the wizard refuses to show a new screen before installation or does not give a guarantee, this is an excuse to look for another service.
What if the screen is not working properly after the replacement?
Even after professional repairs, problems can arise, and here are the most common ones and ways to solve them:
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| The screen is off. | Unconnected plume, damaged board | Return to the service for reconnecting plumes or diagnosing the board |
| Poor color reproduction (yellowish or bluish tint) | Unoriginal screen with different color temperature | Set colors in Settings → Screen → Color Mode or Replace the Screen |
| Touchscreen works with delay or does not respond to touch | Poor attachment of the sensor plume, defect of the module | Reconnect the plume or replace the sensor module |
| There are broken pixels or stripes | Screen marriage or damage during installation | Require a replacement under warranty (if any) |
| The screen spontaneously flashes or goes out | Bad plume contact or payment problem | Diagnostics in the service (may require soldering) |
If the problems appeared immediately after the repair, you have the right to return the phone to the service under warranty. If the master refuses to correct the defects, write a claim demanding a refund or replacement of the screen.
If a malfunction occurs after a few days or weeks, it is more difficult to prove the fault of the service, so always check the screen immediately after the repair and film the process.
