The Acer Laptop. It carries whatever that machine shipped with, confirmed from its own label. Acer laptops are identified by the SNID and model on the underside label. Bring the machine or send us a photo of that label and we can confirm the part before you commit to anything.

Data-safe repairs
What this fixes
What a data recovery actually fixes.
- It will not turn on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It went in water and there is a year of photos on itUrgent. Corrosion is the enemy of recovery and every day counts.
- It was dropped and the screen is blackIf the storage is intact the data usually is too, even when the phone is beyond repair.
- It is stuck restartingOften software, and often the best case for recovery.
- The device will not power on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It was dropped and has not started sinceSay so. Physical damage changes the route entirely.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the storage?
Recovery and repair are not the same job, and doing them in the wrong order can cost you both.
IfIt got wet
Bring it in now and do not charge it. Every day of corrosion reduces what can be recovered.
IfThe storage chip itself is damaged
Be prepared for the answer to be no. We will say so plainly rather than charging you to find out slowly.
IfIt still powers on at all
Start there. A device that boots, even badly, is far more likely to give its data up than one that does not.
IfIt has been repeatedly powered on since it failed
Tell us how many times. Repeated attempts on failing storage reduce the odds and we would rather know.
IfThe account password is not known
Say so before we start. There are limits to what anybody can do with a device nobody can sign into, and it is better to know that up front.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
We source against the part number the laptop itself carries. That is the only way to be sure of a fit, and it is why we sometimes need the machine in front of us before quoting. Every part carries the 360-day warranty.
Some manufacturers still supply parts for these and some do not. You get told which situation yours is in rather than a vague reassurance.
What the Free diagnostic includes
- An assessment of what is recoverable before you commit
- Recovery attempted to a drive or a device you provide
- A clear answer when something cannot be recovered
- Nothing charged for data we cannot get back
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
You approve the price
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
The repair is carried out
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
What happens to what is on it?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

Asked all the time
Acer Laptop screen questions.
We quote it after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.
Assessed first, then quoted. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
No, and anybody who says otherwise is guessing. If the storage itself is damaged the answer can be no. We assess first, tell you honestly what the odds are, and you decide before spending anything.
Not for the data. If we cannot get it back you do not pay for the recovery.
No further than proving the recovery worked. Your data is copied, checked that it opens, and handed over. We do not browse it and we do not keep a copy.
No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is tell you the realistic odds before you commit, and stop rather than make things worse.
Nothing. No fix, no fee applies here as it does everywhere else in the shop.

Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.
Your data stays yours
Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.
No fix, no fee
