General Questions

What devices can Inceptial Systems repair?

At Inceptial Systems, we repair a wide range of gadgets, namely smartphones, iPads, tablets, laptops, MacBooks and iPhones.

What does the repair estimate (price) include?

The repair price estimate includes replacement parts, the diagnosis fee and the labor fee.

Do you offer any type of warranty on your repairs?

Yes, all repairs carry a 90-day parts and labor warranty. This means if you have any issues related to the repair within 90 days, we will take care of it free of charge!

I found another repair shop charging less, why should I choose Inceptial Systems?

While there's always someone who can fix your device for cheap, beware of prices that seem too good to be true. A cheap repair from the other guys often involves subpar replacement parts, further damaged devices, and more repairs needed in the long run.

At Inceptial Systems, we believe in using top-quality parts and upholding the highest standards to ensure we get every repair right. Our repairs are trustworthy — we use professional-grade replacement parts, provide lifetime warranties, and are always there to help with any future issues.

What are the methods of payment available?

We accept cash and M-PESA.

Are you open every day including weekends?

Yes, we are open Monday to Friday, 9am – 7:30pm, and Saturdays, 9am – 7pm. We are closed on Sundays.

Can I bring you the parts I want installed and just pay for the installation?

Yes, you can. The cost is based on the labor at hand.

Do you give estimates over the phone?

Yes, but it is not recommended. Most customers find it hard to describe the real problem, so please visit our repair store, where we give a quotation, a charge estimate and a full diagnosis.

What happens if you can't fix it?

If we can't fix it, you pay for the diagnosis only.

Do you provide any extra benefits when you fix my device?

Glad you asked! We provide a 90-day warranty on all the spare parts we use to fix your device(s). We also offer pickup and delivery when you choose to repair your device(s) with us.

Company Policies

Give me the worst case scenario – what happens if you break my device?

We'll take care of you, pure and simple. If any of our technicians break something during the repair, we'll take complete responsibility and fix the problem or buy you a replacement device.

How are my private details treated? Will my details be passed on to anybody else?

We respect customers' privacy, and as such your details will never be passed on to any third party.

Mail-in Repairs / Courier Services (Areas Outside Nairobi)

If I need my item repaired as quickly as possible, how can I be sure your mail-in service is fast enough?

Typically, most sent-in repairs are completed within 24 hours. If you need your item sent back faster, let our staff know and we can return it to you by priority shipping at an extra cost.

What is the drop-off / mail-in address?

Our repair center is at Bihi Towers, 12th Floor Suite, Moi Avenue, Nairobi — the same as our delivery address.

Smartphone / iPhone Repair

What should I do if I drop my phone in water?

Remove your phone from the water. If possible, remove the battery and leave it to dry. Next, bring your device to Inceptial Systems for diagnosis and repair.

Do you need my pass code?

Yes, we do. If there is a pass code on the phone, it hinders our ability to test all the functions of the device. Please provide your pass code with the device when you send it in for repair.

If you do not wish to provide your pass code, certain device functions — including but not limited to the camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — cannot be tested and cannot be guaranteed.

What brands do you repair?

We are well experienced to handle all phone brands — any make, any model, any issue. Relax, we can fix it!

Can Inceptial Systems back up data on my device?

Yes! Our technicians can back up data before repairing your device. We also provide data transfer and data recovery services.

How long will my phone take to repair?

If you visit our walk-in center, most repairs are completed within 1–2 hours. More complex repairs take a maximum of 24–48 hours, subject to parts availability.

Do I need to send my SIM card or memory card with my phone?

No. You don't have to send your SIM card or memory card.

Will I lose any data from my mobile phone?

We endeavor to keep all information intact, unless it is necessary to remove it as part of the repair. This usually applies to software problems or liquid damage. If your data is particularly important, please let us know when you send in your mobile phone.

My phone doesn't charge. How can I tell if it's the battery or the charge port?

If your phone does not charge at all, check to see if the port is loose or dirty. If it is loose or dirty, you will most likely need a charging port replacement. If an aux cord can be firmly plugged in, you are most likely experiencing a battery issue.

What is the success rate of water damage repair?

Typically, we have a water damage repair success rate of 75%, though nothing is guaranteed to work and there is no warranty included.

What kind of parts do you use for repairs?

We only use 100% genuine parts where possible. If original parts are not available, we will source the next best thing: OEM parts from the same factories that produce the originals.
