The Fix in Walmart Lakewood

Looking for phone repair inside Walmart in Lakewood, CA 90712?

The Fix is a dedicated phone repair store conveniently located inside the Walmart Supercenter at 2770 E Carson St, Lakewood, CA 90712. Bring in a phone with a cracked screen, a battery that quits by lunchtime or a port that will not take a cable, and our technicians will look at it while you are shopping. Many phone and tablet repairs are same-day, often taking less than 30 minutes.

We work on more than phones. Tablets, laptops and game consoles come through our door too, and we keep cases, screen protectors and cables on the shelf for when the repair is done.

Why do Lakewood and Long Beach residents choose The Fix inside this Walmart?

They choose us for range. One repair store that handles an iPhone, a Galaxy, a Pixel, an iPad, a MacBook and an Xbox means one place to remember. Households with a mix of brands do not need a different shop for each device.

Age of the device does not matter either. Our technicians work on a brand new iPhone 17 Pro and on a Galaxy that has been handed down twice, and they know the quirks of both.

The last reason is how we talk about the work. The technician explains the fault in normal language, shows you what is damaged and answers questions before anything is opened up.

What phone repairs does The Fix in Lakewood handle?

We handle the repairs that stop a phone from doing its job: screens, batteries, ports, cameras, speakers and liquid damage. Here is how each one usually shows up.

A cracked screen is the obvious one. On an iPhone 17 Pro, a corner drop can leave a spiderweb of shattered glass while the picture underneath still works. Other times the glass looks fine but the panel shows lines, flickers or goes black. Both are screen repairs, and we tell you which part of the screen assembly has failed before anything else happens.

Touch problems are their own category. Unresponsive touch means taps stop registering, often along one edge. Ghost touch is the opposite: the phone opens apps, scrolls or types without you. On a Galaxy S23 or an iPhone 14, both can come from a damaged panel, a loose connector or moisture under the glass.

Battery wear creeps up slowly. An iPhone 13 that once lasted all day starts showing a battery draining fast by early afternoon. A Galaxy A54 might hit a sudden shutdown at 30 percent on a cold morning. A swollen battery is different. If the screen is bulging or the back panel is separating, stop charging the phone and bring it in, because a battery in that state is pushing on everything around it.

Charging port repair covers phones that charge only at one angle, disconnect when you move the cable, or ignore the charger completely. On a Google Pixel 8, lint packed into the USB-C port can cause all three. Sometimes a careful cleaning is enough. Sometimes the port itself is worn and needs replacing. We check which one it is.

The back of the phone matters too. A Galaxy S25 Ultra with cracked back glass is more than a cosmetic issue, since gaps let dust and moisture in. A chipped camera lens cover causes blurry photos, odd flares and focus that hunts. Both are repairs we carry out here.

Sound problems round it out. A muffled speaker on a Pixel 9 can mean a blocked grille or a failing speaker module. Callers who cannot hear you may point to a microphone fault instead. Water damage is the one that needs the most care: a phone that will not power on after a spill gets opened, dried, cleaned of corrosion and tested board area by board area before we tell you what can be saved.

What other devices can we repair at The Fix in Lakewood?

Besides phones, we repair tablets, laptops and game consoles at this store.

Tablets get much of the same work as phones. An iPad (10th generation) that stops charging, an iPad Pro whose battery no longer makes it through a school day, a Samsung Galaxy Tab with a dead port: these are all bench repairs we handle here.

For computers, we work on MacBook and Windows laptops. Laptop jobs include a MacBook Pro battery that has worn down, a keyboard with keys that stick or repeat, a trackpad that stops clicking, and a laptop that runs hot and slow. Windows laptops from brands like HP, Dell and Lenovo get the same attention.

Game consoles are the third group. We repair PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch systems. A PlayStation that runs loud and shuts itself off, an Xbox with a disc drive that will not read, a Switch with Joy-Con drift or a cracked screen: bring the console in and we will tell you what is going on inside it.

What parts and accessories are available at The Fix in Lakewood?

Repairs here use high-quality replacement parts, and the shelf carries the accessories that keep a repaired phone in good shape.

For many repairs, especially screens, there is more than one grade of part. A new screen may come in different panel types that vary in brightness, color and cost. We lay out the options and let you pick. Batteries, ports, speakers and camera parts are matched to the exact model, because a part made for a close model rarely fits right.

On the accessory side, we stock cases, tempered glass screen protectors, charging cables and wall adapters for current iPhone, Samsung and Pixel models. A screen protector fitted right after a new screen is installed is a simple way to keep that screen intact. A case with raised edges around the camera bump protects the lens cover too.

How does a repair work at The Fix inside Walmart in Lakewood?

A repair at our Lakewood store follows four stages, and you are kept informed at each one.

• Stage 1: Diagnosis. A technician checks the device, confirms the fault and looks for anything else that is damaged.
• Stage 2: Options and cost. We explain the repair, any part choices, and the price before work starts. Nothing moves forward until you say yes.
• Stage 3: Repair. The technician replaces or repairs the faulty part.
• Stage 4: Testing and pickup. We test the functions related to the repair, such as touch, cameras, charging and sound, and hand the device back.

If you want to keep your phone protected afterward, this is also the moment to add a case or a screen protector.

Where exactly is The Fix in Lakewood, CA 90712?

The Fix is inside the Walmart Supercenter at 2770 E Carson St, Lakewood, CA 90712. The Walmart sits at Carson Street and Paramount Boulevard, part of the shopping centers on the four corners of that intersection, close to the Long Beach city line.

Long Beach Airport is about a mile to the southeast, with the Douglas Park business district along its northern edge. Heading east on Carson Street, Long Beach City College's Liberal Arts Campus is about 1.3 miles away.

From the freeway, take I-405 Exit 27 for Lakewood Boulevard, head north past the airport to Carson Street, turn left and drive west to Paramount Boulevard.

How does Long Beach area weather affect your phone?

Mild coastal weather is easy on people, but it still takes a toll on phones in a few specific ways.

Heat is the first. On late summer and early fall days, a phone left on a car seat in a sunny parking lot can get far hotter than the air outside. Lithium batteries age faster in that heat, which is one route to swelling and short battery life over time.

Sand and salt are the second. Beach days along the Long Beach shoreline and at nearby Seal Beach send phones home with fine sand in the speaker grilles and debris in the port. A port packed with grit can stop charging altogether. Salt water does more harm than fresh water, because the salt stays behind and corrodes contacts after the phone dries.

What can you expect when you bring a device to The Fix in Lakewood?

You can expect a friendly, professional team that explains the problem clearly and gets the device back to you quickly.

A phone that has been dropped hard, crushed in a bag or even run over can often be brought back to a clean, working state. If you bring two devices at once, such as one phone needing a battery and another needing a screen and a water damage check, we can work through both in the same visit.

The team is thorough without being slow. They walk you through what they found, answer questions in plain terms and point out accessories only when they help the device you are repairing.

What questions do people ask about The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

How long does it take to repair an iPhone 14 charging port at The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

Repair time for an iPhone 14 charging port depends on whether the port needs a deep cleaning or a full replacement, and on whether the part is in stock. Many port repairs on phones are same-day, often taking less than 30 minutes. On the iPhone 14 the Lightning port sits on a flex cable with the microphones, so we test calls and audio recording as part of the job.

How much does it cost to repair a Google Pixel 9 screen at The Fix on Carson Street in Lakewood?

Pixel 9 screen repair cost comes down to which screen part you choose and whether the frame is bent. Pixel screens are bonded tightly to the frame, so a phone with a twisted corner may need more work than one with flat damage. A frame check is part of the diagnosis.

How much does it cost to repair iPhone back glass at The Fix near Long Beach Airport?

iPhone back glass repair is priced by model, since the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 and older generations use different glass and frame designs. Damage that has spread to the camera lens covers or the frame adds to the job. If the glass is only cracked, the repair is simpler than when the frame underneath has also taken the hit.

How long does it take to repair water damage at The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

Water damage repair time depends on how far the liquid reached and which parts it corroded. A phone with corrosion on one connector moves faster than one with damage spread across several parts. Turn the phone off right away and do not charge it, since power running through a wet board causes more harm.

How much does it cost to repair a MacBook Air screen at The Fix near Long Beach City College?

Three things set the price of a MacBook Air screen repair: the model year, the chip generation and whether the damage reaches the hinge or lid. M1, M2 and M3 MacBook Air models use different display assemblies. We confirm the exact model number from the bottom case during diagnosis so the quote matches your machine.

How much does it cost to repair an iPad Air screen at The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

For an iPad Air screen, the price follows the generation, because some models have the glass and display fused together while older ones separate them. A fused screen means the whole unit is replaced. We check which iPad Air you have and explain what that means for the repair.

How much does it cost to repair an Xbox Series X that will not power on at The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

An Xbox Series X that will not power on is priced by the part that failed: the power supply, the power button board, or a fault on the main board. Each has a very different repair path. Diagnosis tells us which one it is, and we give you the price for that specific repair.

How long does it take to repair a Nintendo Switch that will not charge at The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

Time to repair a Switch that will not charge depends on the cause. A damaged USB-C port and a failed charging chip are separate problems, and the second takes more bench time. We test the console with a known good charger and dock first to rule out the simple causes.

Is the diagnosis free at The Fix inside Walmart on Carson Street?

Yes, the diagnosis at our Carson Street store is free. You learn what is wrong and what the repair involves without paying anything for the check itself. If you decide not to go ahead, you are free to take the device home without a repair.

Do I need an appointment at The Fix on Carson Street near Douglas Park?

No appointment is needed at our store near Douglas Park. Walk in whenever it suits you and a technician will start on the device. If you want to check part availability for a less common model first, you can ask our team when you arrive.

What happens to my photos and data during a repair at The Fix in Lakewood?

Screen, battery and port repairs replace parts that do not hold your photos or data, so those files are not part of the work. A passcode helps us test touch, cameras and Face ID after the work. If you prefer not to share it, tell us and we will test what we can with you there.

Can I bring a phone and a tablet together to The Fix in Walmart Lakewood?

Yes, you can bring a phone and a tablet together and we will diagnose both. Each device gets its own quote, so you can approve one repair now and decide on the other later. Drop them off together and pick them up together when both are ready.
