Two cameras stacked vertically on the back, an aluminium frame, and a Camera Control button on the right edge below the side button. The one sold in Ireland is A3287.

What this fixes

The faults a screen repair puts right.

  • Flickering, or brightness that will not holdOften the panel, occasionally the backlight circuit on the board. The two are not the same repair or the same price.
  • Glass lifting away from the frameOften a swelling battery pushing the display out. This one is genuinely urgent, and the fix may be a battery rather than a screen.
  • A bright or dark patch that stays putPressure damage to the panel. It does not spread the way a crack does and it does not fade, and it is a display replacement rather than anything on the board.
  • Burn-in, where a faint keyboard or clock is always visibleAn OLED wearing unevenly after years of showing the same thing in the same place. It is not repairable in software and it is not a fault the phone will grow out of.
  • The screen is bright at the top and dim along one edgeUneven backlighting on an LCD, or an OLED starting to fail. Either way it is the panel.
  • A crack you can feel with a fingernail but barely seeWorth a protector at minimum. It is the point the glass will fail from when the phone next takes a knock.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the screen?

A screen replacement is the right answer more often than not, and it is still worth ten minutes of checking. These are the patterns that change the job.

IfThe screen is black and the phone is completely dead
Do not book a screen. Nothing here tells us the display is at fault yet. This starts as a diagnostic, and it can be a battery, a charging fault or the board.
IfThe display is fine but the glass is lifting at one edge
Check the battery before the screen. A swelling battery lifts the display from underneath, and replacing the screen without replacing the battery just breaks the new one.
IfLines or discolouration appeared with no drop and no impact
Worth a diagnostic. Spontaneous display faults are sometimes the panel and sometimes the board, and the difference matters to what you pay.
IfThe picture is perfect and only the outer glass is chipped at a corner
On most phones the glass and the panel are one part, so a chip is still a screen replacement. Ask us anyway; on a handful of models the two are separate layers and the repair is cheaper.
IfThe display flickers only at the very lowest brightness
On many OLED panels that is how the screen dims rather than a fault. If it stops above about ten percent brightness there is probably nothing to repair.

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.

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.

  • The panel is OLED, so a cracked iPhone 16 screen often keeps working and looking normal until the damage reaches the display layer. That is why a phone with a shattered front can still show a perfect picture, and why waiting rarely helps.
  • The display assembly carries the Face ID flood illuminator and dot projector on a flex that has to be moved across to the new panel. If that transfer is done carelessly, Face ID stops working and cannot be restored by fitting another screen.
  • Apple pairs the display to the logic board, so a replacement panel can show a 'Genuine Apple part' notice in Settings even when the phone is working perfectly. We tell you before we start whether your repair will trigger it.
  • True Tone depends on data held with the original panel. We move it across where the tooling allows, and we say so plainly if it cannot be kept.

OLED, soft OLED and LCD: why one screen costs twice another

What the €120 includes

  • The complete display assembly, glass and panel as one unit
  • Biometric and sensor components transferred from your original screen
  • Fitting, calibration and a full function test
  • 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship

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.

Choose the part

Two tiers, named before you agree.

A screen is the one repair where the tier changes what you look at every day, so it is worth thirty seconds.

iMEND Premium

Original or manufacturer-grade part

The panel the phone left the factory with. True Tone and the brightness curve are exactly as they were, and there is no parts notice in settings. It costs the most and on a newer phone it is often the right answer.

€165

Value Edition

Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

A panel made to the original specification by somebody other than the manufacturer, tested for colour, brightness and touch before it goes in. On a phone that is three years old and going in a case, this is frequently what we would fit to our own.

€120

The €120 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. 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.

The tell is not day one, it is month six: how the panel dims at the low end, whether touch keeps up with fast typing, and how the coating wears. We will say which tier we would put in your phone if it were ours.

The parts we use, in full

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. Either way, describe the symptom rather than the repair. It is more useful to us.

Free diagnostic

We confirm the fault is the display and not something behind it. This costs nothing and it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong repair.

You approve the price

You get the exact figure before anything is opened. Nothing else is done without asking you first.

The assembly is replaced

The old display comes off, the biometric and sensor parts transfer across, the new assembly goes on and gets calibrated.

Bench testing

Touch, brightness, face or fingerprint unlock, front camera, earpiece and proximity, checked before we call you.

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.

Brightness and colour

Checked at low and high brightness, because a bad panel often looks fine at full brightness and mottled at low.

Face unlock or fingerprint

Whichever your device uses. On most phones the sensor lives in or under the display and moves across with it.

Multi-touch

Several fingers at once, because a panel can pass a single-finger test and fail the moment you type.

Rotation and the ambient light sensor

Both sit behind the display and both are disturbed by the job.

Will my data be safe?

A screen replacement 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 phone 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 phone up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a phone that has already been dropped is a phone whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.

Is it still water resistant afterwards?

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

A manufacturer's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device 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

iPhone 16 screen questions.

€120, 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.

15 to 45 minutes for most phones. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

Bring it in for the free diagnostic rather than booking a screen. A black display on a phone that still rings is usually the screen or its connector. A black display on a phone that is completely dead is a different problem, and we would rather find that out before you pay for a panel.

No. Walk in to 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra during opening hours. Booking online just means we know you are coming and can have the part out and ready.

We stop and tell you. You get the cause, the price and the option to say no. No additional paid work happens without your approval, and if we cannot fix the phone at all you pay nothing.

That depends on the grade you choose and we tell you which one is going in before you agree. A genuine service part where one exists for your model, otherwise a premium aftermarket panel. The 360-day warranty is the same either way, and we will not describe a part as original when it is not.

Several manufacturers pair the panel to the board, so a replacement can show a notice in settings even when the repair is sound and everything works. It is a parts message, not a fault, and we tell you if your model does it before we start.

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.

Customer reviews

The screen stopped working on my iPhone 13 mini - it had recently been repaired elsewhere. I got a warm welcome in the shop, and a phone to borrow while mine was in for diagnostics and repair. An issue with the battery was also detected and I am very happy with the new screen and battery and appreciated the excellent service and communication.
