The Galaxy S25 Ultra came out in 2025, with a 6.9 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display. It is rated IP68. Four rear cameras in separate rings, a titanium frame with squared-off corners, and the S Pen in a slot at the bottom. Ireland gets the SM-S938B.

What this fixes

Why people book a dead device diagnostic.

  • Nothing at all on the screenNo logo, no backlight, no response to the charger.
  • It shows the logo and restarts, over and overA boot loop. Software, storage or board, and they are not the same repair.
  • It only works while plugged inAlmost always the battery, and one of the easier outcomes.
  • It got hot and then diedWorth mentioning. Heat before failure narrows down where to look considerably.
  • It vibrates but nothing appearsThe device is running. That points at the display or its connector rather than the power side.
  • It gets warm on the charger and never startsSomething is drawing current. Worth a diagnostic before anything else is tried.
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 a drop
Something is disconnected or cracked inside. Usually recoverable, and worth telling us it was dropped.
IfIt went in water first
Liquid damage takes priority. Do not charge it and do not keep trying to power it on.
IfThe battery is years old
Check that before anything else. A cell that cannot hold voltage under load produces exactly this.

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.

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

    • 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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    Power draw on the bench

    Before the phone is switched on, because a short does more damage the moment it gets power.

    Display and its connector

    A phone that is running but dark is a completely different repair from a dead one.

    Board inspection

    Under magnification, where the answer is when everything else has been ruled out.

    Boot to a recovery state

    Which separates a software problem from a hardware one before anything is replaced.

    What happens to what is on it?

    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.

    Will it still survive a splash?

    Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.

    Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.

    Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.

    If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.

    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 S25 Ultra 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. The diagnostic is free and there is no fee if we cannot fix it. You get told what has failed and what it costs before anything happens.

    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.

    Batteries fail suddenly more often than people expect, particularly in cold weather and particularly once they are a few years old. It is worth checking before assuming the worst.

    No. It is free, you are told what has failed and what it costs, and there is no fee if we cannot fix it.

    Usually not, which is the good news. Chargers, batteries and software account for most of them.

    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!
