Galaxy S24 FE, from 2024, with a 6.7 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the Exynos 2400e chip. 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 IP68. A big flat screen with three vertical cameras and thicker bezels than the S24. The FE is the value model in the range and its parts are its own. Ireland gets the SM-S721B.
This is the repair most often quoted when it is not needed, so it is worth going through properly.
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.
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Samsung service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
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.
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.
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.
A charging port is a flex assembly rather than a tuned component, so the tier matters less here than almost anywhere else.

€120Premium 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.
€85The €85 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.
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.
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 hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
The cable should click and hold with no angle needed. If it does not, the job is not finished.
Both sit on or beside the charging assembly on most phones and both get disturbed during the repair.
Both, because a port can carry power and have lost its data pins.
A cable that will not stay in is not a repair we call finished.
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.
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
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.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€85, 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.
Most of it is pocket lint. Emptying the port every few months with a toothpick keeps it from packing down, and a case with a covered port helps if you carry the phone loose.
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.
It will charge at the speed the phone was designed for, which is faster than a worn port manages. It will not make the phone charge faster than it did when it was new.

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.
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!
