The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) came out in 2024, with a 13 inch Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED with ProMotion display and the M4 chip. Charging is over USB-C with Thunderbolt and it unlocks with Face ID. There is an aluminium frame. The thinnest iPad Apple has made, with the front camera on the long edge rather than the short one, and the first iPad screen to use OLED. The one sold in Ireland is A2925.

What this fixes
The faults a dead device diagnostic puts right.
- It vibrates or chimes but stays darkThe phone is running. That is a very different and usually cheaper problem than a dead one.
- 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 works only with the charger connectedThe battery is finished, and that is the cheapest of the possible causes.
- It stopped after an updateMore likely software than hardware, and usually the most recoverable outcome.
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 went dead after a drop
Something is disconnected or cracked inside. Usually recoverable, and worth telling us it was dropped.
IfIt loops on the Apple logo
That can be software rather than hardware, and software is recoverable without replacing anything. Tell us if there is data on it you need before we try anything.
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?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Apple 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 Apple certified unless that is what is going into your tablet. 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
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.
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
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
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
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.
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.
Current draw at rest
A board that draws nothing and a board that draws too much are two different faults.
Boot to a recovery state
Which separates a software problem from a hardware one before anything is replaced.
Will my data be safe?
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.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
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.

iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) 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.
Usually not, which is the good news. Batteries and charging faults account for most of them, and both are ordinary repairs. The board is what we check when the cheaper answers have been ruled out.
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.
Usually not, which is the good news. Chargers, batteries and software account for most of them.
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.
Often yes, and say that is the priority before we start rather than after.
