What this fixes

What a front camera repair actually fixes.

  • The selfie camera is blackThe rear camera works and the front does not. The module or its connection.
  • Blurry or hazy selfiesOften condensation or dust behind the lens rather than a broken camera.
  • Face unlock has stopped as wellOn phones where the unlock hardware sits beside the front camera, one impact takes both. Say so, because it changes the part.
  • The selfie is soft but the rear cameras are sharpConfirms the front module rather than anything shared.
  • A dark ring or vignette around every selfieThe lens cover or the module seating. Both are in the display assembly on most phones.
  • It works in one app and not anotherSoftware before hardware. Check permissions before booking anything.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the front camera?

The front camera shares its assembly with Face ID and the proximity sensor, so what else is failing tells us a lot.

IfThe camera is black but Face ID still works
That points at the camera module alone, which is the simpler and cheaper of the two jobs.
IfIt is hazy rather than black
Look for moisture behind the lens. If the phone has been wet this is a liquid damage assessment first.
IfIt stopped right after a screen repair somewhere else
Very likely a connector, because the front camera rides in the display assembly. Worth opening and checking rather than replacing.
IfFace unlock stopped at the same time
Say so at the counter. On several phones that is a different and more involved part than the camera alone.
IfIt went soft with no drop and no repair
Sometimes the adhesive holding the lens has failed. It is still a module job and it is not expensive.

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.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the €40 includes

    • The replacement front camera assembly fitted
    • Proximity and ambient light sensors checked
    • Face ID tested where it is part of the assembly
    • 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.

    Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.

    Choose the part

    Two tiers, named before you agree.

    The front camera rides in the display assembly on most phones, so the tier conversation usually happens alongside the screen one.

    iMEND Premium

    Original or manufacturer-grade part

    The manufacturer's own module, and the safest option where face unlock hardware sits beside it.

    €85

    Value Edition

    Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

    Made to the original specification. On a front camera the difference is small and the saving is real.

    €40

    The €40 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.

    Tell us if face unlock stopped at the same time. On several phones that is a different and more involved part than the camera on its own, and it changes what we order.

    The parts we use, in full

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    Free diagnostic

    Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.

    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

    Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.

    Bench testing

    Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.

    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.

    Face or fingerprint unlock

    Where it shares the assembly, tested before the phone goes back.

    Face unlock where the device has it

    Registered fresh and tested, since the hardware sits alongside the camera.

    The earpiece and the sensors beside it

    All of them ride in the same assembly and all of them get disturbed.

    Portrait and depth effects

    Where the phone has them, since they depend on more than the one lens.

    Is anything on the device at risk?

    We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.

    The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.

    Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.

    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 S22 screen questions.

    €40, 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.

    The front camera and Face ID flex have to be transferred to the new display during a screen replacement. Done in a hurry it gets damaged, and that is one of the most common reasons a phone arrives here with a dead selfie camera.

    Sometimes, and not always. The dot projector is paired to your phone at the factory, so if that specific component has failed it often cannot be replaced with a working one. We will tell you straight rather than charging you to find out.

    Yes, when the job is done properly. On most phones the unlock hardware sits in the same assembly and has to be handled with the camera. That handling is what goes wrong in a rushed repair.

    Usually yes. The camera is its own module inside the assembly and it can be swapped on its own.

    A front camera module is one of the cheaper parts in a phone, so on most models yes. We will say where it is not.

    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!
