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
What a speaker & microphone repair actually fixes.
- Callers cannot hear youThe microphone rather than the speaker. There are several in the phone and it is worth knowing which.
- You cannot hear callers on the earpieceThe earpiece speaker, which sits in the display assembly on most models.
- Sound only works on speakerphoneNarrows it to the earpiece rather than the loudspeaker.
- It got quiet after a soakingWater in the mesh. Sometimes it dries out, often the driver has already gone.
- Sound only works on speakerphoneThat points at the earpiece rather than anything upstream, and it saves a diagnostic.
- It went quiet gradually over monthsVery often compacted lint rather than a failed speaker. A careful clean is sometimes the whole repair.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the speaker?
Half the phones that arrive here with no sound have nothing wrong with the speaker.
IfIt is quiet rather than silent
Look at the speaker grille in a good light. Compacted lint and dust muffle a loudspeaker very effectively and a careful clean is often the whole repair.
IfIt has been silent since a screen repair somewhere else
The earpiece sits in the display assembly and is easy to disturb. Bring it in.
IfIt is quiet rather than silent
Look at the grille in a good light. Compacted lint muffles a loudspeaker very effectively long before it silences it.
IfIt has been silent since a screen repair elsewhere
The earpiece sits in the display assembly and is easy to disturb. Bring it in rather than assuming the part failed.
IfIt stopped after the phone got wet
Assess the liquid damage first. A new speaker in a corroding phone is money wasted.
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?
Where Apple supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
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
- The speaker or microphone replaced, or cleaned where that is enough
- Every audio path tested, not only the one that failed
- A real call made before the phone goes back
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
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.
Speakers and microphones are small parts and the tier gap on them is the smallest on this list.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On a speaker this is hard to fault and it is what most of these repairs use.
Priced at the counterThe price for this repair is confirmed after a free diagnostic. 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.
Before any of this, let us look at the grille. Compacted pocket lint muffles a loudspeaker very effectively, and where a clean fixes it that is what you pay for and no part goes in at all.
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
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
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
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
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
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.
A real phone call
Both directions. It is the only test that proves the earpiece and the call microphone together.
Every microphone
Call, voice memo and video are different microphones and a phone can fail one and pass the rest.
Proximity
Checked at the same time, since it sits beside the earpiece and gets disturbed with it.
Every microphone
Call, video and the noise-cancelling one, because they are used for different things.
Is anything on the device at risk?
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?
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.

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.
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.
There is more than one microphone in the phone and they are used for different things. That symptom usually points at the call microphone specifically, which is a smaller job than it sounds.
Sometimes, because on most models the earpiece is part of the display assembly. Tell us what the sound is doing when you book and we will check both together rather than doing one and finding the other.
Very often, yes. The grille packs with pocket lint and it muffles sound long before it silences it. Where a clean fixes it, that is what you pay for.
There is more than one microphone in the phone and they are used for different things. That symptom usually points at the call microphone specifically, which makes it a smaller job.
Gently, with a soft dry brush and the phone switched off. Never a pin and never compressed air into the grille.
