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 or fingerprint unlock has stopped working tooImportant to mention. The the biometric sensor components share the assembly, and that changes the job.
  • A dark ring or vignette around every selfieThe lens cover or the module seating. Both are in the display assembly on most phones.
  • Video calls show a black frameThe module has failed rather than degraded. It does not come back.
  • 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.
IfBoth the camera and Face ID have stopped
The whole assembly or its connector. Worth a diagnostic first, because Face ID components are paired to the phone and not every fault is fixable by swapping a part.
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.
IfOnly certain apps see it
That is permissions, not hardware, and it costs nothing to check 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?

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.

    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.

    A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.

    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.

    €120

    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

    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

    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

    We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.

    Back in your hands

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

    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.

    Photo and video

    Both, because a module can pass one and fail the other.

    Proximity

    Confirmed on a real call with the phone at your ear, which is the only way to know.

    Stills and video

    Both, because a module can pass one and fail the other.

    Portrait and depth effects

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

    What happens to what is on it?

    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?

    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.

    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 S24 Ultra 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.

    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.

    On most phones it is mounted in the display assembly rather than the body, so it comes out with the screen. That is also why it sometimes stops working after a screen repair done badly.

    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!
