What this fixes
The faults a dead device diagnostic puts right.
- Nothing at all on the screenNo logo, no backlight, no response to the charger.
- It vibrates or chimes but stays darkThe phone is running. That is a very different and usually cheaper problem than a dead one.
- It shows the logo and restarts, over and overA boot loop. Software, storage or board, and they are not the same repair.
- It got hot and then diedWorth mentioning. Heat before failure narrows down where to look considerably.
- It works only with the charger connectedThe battery is finished, and that is the cheapest of the possible causes.
- It stopped after an updateMore likely software than hardware, and usually the most recoverable outcome.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely a power fault?
A dead phone is the one case where guessing is expensive, because every possible cause has a different price.
IfIt vibrates, chimes or connects to CarPlay but the screen is black
The phone is alive and you cannot see it. That is a display, a connector or a backlight fault, and it is a far better outcome than a dead board.
IfIt works only while plugged into power
That is the battery, and it is the cheapest thing this can be.
IfIt went dead after getting wet
This is a liquid damage assessment, not a dead device diagnostic. Do not charge it in the meantime.
IfIt was dropped just before
That changes where we look first, so say it at the counter.
IfYour data is the priority
Tell us before we start. Some routes preserve everything and some do not, and knowing your priority decides which one we try first.
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?
Genuine Samsung service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
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.
What the Free diagnostic includes
- A full diagnostic on the bench, free
- A written answer on what has failed and what it costs
- No further work until you have approved the price
- No fee at all if we cannot fix it
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.
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.
Free diagnostic
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
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
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
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
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.
Power draw on the bench
Before the phone is switched on, because a short does more damage the moment it gets power.
Battery and charging circuit
The two most common causes and the two cheapest to put right.
Board inspection
Under magnification, where the answer is when everything else has been ruled out.
Current draw at rest
A board that draws nothing and a board that draws too much are two different faults.
Will my data be safe?
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.
Will it still survive a splash?
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.

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.
Usually not, which is the good news. Batteries and charging faults account for most of them, and both are ordinary repairs. The board is what we check when the cheaper answers have been ruled out.
Often, and tell us that is the priority before we start. Recovering data and repairing a phone are sometimes done in a different order, and choosing wrong can cost you both.
Usually not, which is the good news. Chargers, batteries and software account for most of them.
Often yes, and say that is the priority before we start rather than after.
Usually same day. Where a fault only appears under load we sometimes have to leave it running, and we say so at the counter rather than leaving you wondering.

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