What this fixes
Why people book a data recovery.
- It will not turn on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It went in water and there is a year of photos on itUrgent. Corrosion is the enemy of recovery and every day counts.
- It was dropped and the screen is blackIf the storage is intact the data usually is too, even when the phone is beyond repair.
- It is stuck restartingOften software, and often the best case for recovery.
- The device will not power on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It was dropped and has not started sinceSay so. Physical damage changes the route entirely.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the storage?
Recovery and repair are not the same job, and doing them in the wrong order can cost you both.
IfThe phone is repairable
Repair it first. A working phone gives up its data far more easily and cheaply than a dead one.
IfIt got wet
Bring it in now and do not charge it. Every day of corrosion reduces what can be recovered.
IfThe storage chip itself is damaged
Be prepared for the answer to be no. We will say so plainly rather than charging you to find out slowly.
IfIt still powers on at all
Start there. A device that boots, even badly, is far more likely to give its data up than one that does not.
IfIt has been repeatedly powered on since it failed
Tell us how many times. Repeated attempts on failing storage reduce the odds and we would rather know.
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.
The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
What the €35 includes
- An assessment of what is recoverable before you commit
- Recovery attempted to a drive or a device you provide
- A clear answer when something cannot be recovered
- Nothing charged for data we cannot get back
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.
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
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
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
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.
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.
Will it still survive a splash?
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 Z Fold 5 screen questions.
€35, 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.
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, and anybody who says otherwise is guessing. If the storage itself is damaged the answer can be no. We assess first, tell you honestly what the odds are, and you decide before spending anything.
No further than proving the recovery worked. Your data is copied, checked that it opens, and handed over. We do not browse it and we do not keep a copy.
No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is tell you the realistic odds before you commit, and stop rather than make things worse.
Nothing. No fix, no fee applies here as it does everywhere else in the shop.
Turn on the automatic backup your device already has and check once that it is actually running. That is the whole task and it takes two minutes.

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!
I had a great experience with the guys, they helped me get started with my new phone, they didn't push me to go for the most expensive items, they respected what I was looking for.
Excellent service and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My sons Nintendo controller broke and they went above and beyond to fix it. Would definitely go back.
Excellent customer service regular customer Will highly recommend this Imend mobile phone shop Drumcondra branch.
This shop is fantastic! Even supplied a loan phone for free while they repaired mine. Very reasonable price and fast too. Also sell new, used and refurb phones with all the gear. Life savers!!
