Galaxy A54, from 2023, with a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is 50MP main, 12MP ultra wide and 5MP macro on the back, and it is rated IP67. Three lenses standing separately out of a glass back, with a plastic frame. The A55 that replaced it has a metal frame. SM-A546B is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a charging port repair.
- Will not charge at allNothing when you plug in. Sometimes the port, sometimes the cable, occasionally the battery or the board, which is why we look first.
- Charges but will not connect to a computer or CarPlayPower and data run on different pins, so a port can pass one and fail the other.
- It charges from a plug but the computer will not see itData pins rather than power pins. Same port, and it tells us which side of it has failed.
- It got hot around the port while chargingStop using that cable. A hot port is worth looking at before it takes the board with it.
- It charges wirelessly but not with a cableConfirms the port rather than the battery, which narrows the job considerably.
- It stopped charging after a soakingDo not plug it in. Charging through a corroded port is what turns a repairable phone into a board job.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the charging port?
This is the repair most often quoted when it is not needed, so it is worth going through properly.
IfIt stopped charging suddenly with no drop
Try another cable and another plug first. Cables fail far more often than ports and it costs nothing to rule out.
IfIt charges from the wall but not from a computer
Power and data are different pins. That narrows it to the port rather than the battery or the board, which is useful to know before we open anything.
IfIt got wet and then stopped charging
This is a liquid damage assessment first. Corrosion spreads, and fitting a new port onto a corroding board wastes the part.
IfTwo different cables both fail
Now it is the phone. One cable failing is a cable; two is a port.
IfIt charges fine but slowly
Try another plug first. Slow charging is very often the charger rather than the phone.
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?
Where Samsung supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
We will not describe a part as genuine, original or Samsung certified unless that is what is going into your phone. If the honest answer is premium aftermarket, that is what we say at the counter.
- USB-C on every current Galaxy. The port is on its own daughterboard on most models, which makes it a cleaner replacement than a port soldered to the mainboard.
What the €50 includes
- The port inspected and cleaned before anything is replaced
- A replacement charging assembly where cleaning is not enough
- Charging and data transfer both tested
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
Nothing extra gets done and charged for without you saying yes to it. Where the diagnostic turns up a second fault, the work stops there and you hear the price before it goes any further.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
A charging port is a flex assembly rather than a tuned component, so the tier matters less here than almost anywhere else.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification and, on a port, genuinely hard to fault. Fast charging negotiates the same, data works the same, and it costs less.
€50The €50 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
This is one of the repairs where we will tell you to take the cheaper tier and put the difference towards a case. The part is not where a port repair goes wrong; the fitting is.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.
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
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Data over the cable
Because power and data run on separate pins and a port can pass one and fail the other.
Plug retention
The cable should click and hold with no angle needed. If it does not, the job is not finished.
Microphone and speaker
Both sit on or beside the charging assembly on most phones and both get disturbed during the repair.
Fast charge negotiation
Checked with a charger that supports it, because a port can charge slowly and look fine.
Is anything on the device at risk?
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.
What about the water resistance?
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.

€50, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. 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 this is the repair most often replaced when it did not need to be. A very large share of phones that will not charge have compacted pocket lint holding the plug a fraction short of the pins. We clean and test first, and where that fixes it, that is what you pay for.
Carefully, with the phone off and something non-metallic like a wooden toothpick. Do not use a pin, a paperclip or compressed air. The pins bend and once they are bent the clean becomes a replacement.
Carefully, with the phone off and a wooden toothpick. Never a pin or a paperclip, and never compressed air into the port. Bent pins turn a free clean into a paid replacement.
Usually same day. On many devices the port is a plug-in flex and it is quick; on others it is soldered to the board and that is bench work rather than counter work.
Almost always lint and sideways force. Charging with the phone in a pocket, or lying on a bed with the cable under tension, pushes against a connector that was designed to take the plug straight in and nothing else.

Fixed my 12 pro charging port in a few minutes. Great price and great service
I went city centre for repair my phone they said 65 euros to replace my charging port, one of my friend recommended Imend shop, I came here for repair, same thing they did for 40 euros and very quick service, trust guys recommended
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
Highly recommend! Great service
Excellent service and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My sons Nintendo controller broke and they went above and beyond to fix it. Would definitely go back.
