The Galaxy Z Fold 6 arrived in 2024, with a 7.6 inch inner, 6.3 inch cover Dynamic AMOLED 2X, both screens display and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader in the side button. There is 50MP main, 12MP ultra wide and 10MP telephoto on the back and an armour aluminium frame, and it is rated IP48. Squared-off edges and a wider cover screen than the Fold 5, which makes the outer display usable as a normal phone. The one sold in Ireland is SM-F956B.

What this fixes
The faults a dead device diagnostic puts right.
- 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 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.
- It works only with the charger connectedThe battery is finished, and that is the cheapest of the possible causes.
- It died and will not respond to any button combinationCould be the battery, the port or the board. Guessing here is what costs people money.
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 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.
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
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
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
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
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
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
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.
Power draw on the bench
Before the phone is switched on, because a short does more damage the moment it gets power.
Board inspection
Under magnification, where the answer is when everything else has been ruled out.
Charge behaviour on a known good supply
Because a failed charger and a failed device look identical from the outside.
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?
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.
What about the water resistance?
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.

Galaxy Z Fold 6 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.
No. If it has looped or failed repeatedly, leave it off. Repeated attempts on a device that is failing under load do not help and occasionally make things worse.

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 pleasure to deal with this is my 3rd time purchasing a phone from them.
