@BigB111  The device that has been sent into repair is going to be exchange for a different device.  It’s probably beyond economical repair or can not be repaired so you’ll get back a different device that’s the same model of the same specs. 

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how long it would typically take for a replacement device. Also do they have to tell me if the replacement device is a refurbished one.

Hi there @BigB111

 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

 

The repair centre should be in touch to go through everything with you. 

 

If you would like an update please give us a call on 150, and the team will get this looked into for you.

No they don't have to tell you as they would have in the T&Cs already.

 

It will be a refurbished device unless you purchased very recently.

Hi my A52 has just suddenly become unresponsive on the touch screen and I can't unlock the phone or get into it.  Can you please let me know what the process is for sending it into repair.
