It is almost always an IT support job, not a repair. We check the tablet's software version, how much storage is left and whether the app store account is signed in properly. Older tablets sometimes stop getting updates, and banks then drop support. If that is the case we say so honestly and talk through options. Whatever we do, the price is agreed with you first.
