The Galaxy A56 5G arrived in 2025, with a 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP67. A raised camera island on the back rather than three separate lenses, which is what separates the A56 from the A55 at a glance. SM-A566B is the model sold here.

What this fixes

What a data recovery actually fixes.

  • 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.
  • 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 boots to a logo and no furtherSometimes the storage and sometimes software. The two have very different odds.
  • It was dropped and has not started sinceSay so. Physical damage changes the route entirely.
  • It went in waterTime matters here more than anywhere. The sooner it is opened and cleaned the more survives.
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.

IfThe phone is repairable
Repair it first. A working phone gives up its data far more easily and cheaply than a dead one.
IfYou have a cloud backup
Check what is already backed up before paying for anything. Sometimes the answer is that it is all there already, and we would rather tell you that.
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.
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?

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.

Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    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

    You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.

    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.

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Describe the symptom rather than the repair, it is more useful to us.

    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 get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.

    The repair is carried out

    Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.

    Bench testing

    The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.

    Back in your hands

    Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.

    Is anything on the device at risk?

    This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.

    We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.

    Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.

    What about the water resistance?

    Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.

    An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.

    Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.

    If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.

    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

    Galaxy A56 5G 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.

    Usually, yes, and where the phone is repairable that is what we recommend. A working phone hands over its data easily. Recovery from a dead one is specialist work and it costs more.

    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.

    Yes. We look at what we need to confirm the recovery worked and nothing else, and the device and its copy go back to you.

    iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.

    Why bring it here

    An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

    We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

    Diagnosed, not guessed

    Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.

    Parts that last

    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

    If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.

    Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.

    Mr MAURICE CaldwellTrustpilot

    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!
