What this fixes
What a diagnostic actually fixes.
- Several things wrong at onceOften one cause with several symptoms, which is exactly what a diagnostic is for.
- It got worse after a repair somewhere elseWorth looking at properly rather than repeating the same repair.
- You do not know what is wrongPerfectly normal. Describing what it does is more useful to us than naming a repair.
- It works, then it does not, with no patternAn intermittent fault is the hardest thing to price without looking, which is exactly what this is for.
- Somebody else has already tried to fix itWorth starting from scratch. A device opened in a hurry often has more wrong with it than it arrived with.
- You want to know whether it is worth repairing at allA fair question and a common one. We will tell you when the answer is no.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely a hardware fault?
A diagnostic is not a repair, it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong one.
IfIt went in water at any point
Book the liquid damage assessment instead. It is a different process and looks for different things.
IfYou already know exactly what is wrong
Then book the repair rather than the diagnostic. There is no reason to pay for a step you do not need, and the repair price already includes the checking.
IfIt is under manufacturer warranty
Go to them first and we will tell you so. A defect inside warranty should not cost you anything anywhere.
IfIt has been in water
That is a liquid damage assessment rather than a standard diagnostic, and it is a different piece of work.
IfYou want a written quote for insurance
Say so at the counter and we will do it that way from the start.
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 Apple 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 Apple certified unless that is what is going into your laptop. If the honest answer is premium aftermarket, that is what we say at the counter.
What the €30 includes
- A full inspection on the bench, free
- A written answer on what has failed
- A price before any work happens
- No fee if we cannot fix it
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.
Diagnostics from €25. A clean-up check is free.
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.
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
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
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, charge and battery health
The three things that explain most faults before anything is opened.
Display, touch and every sensor
End to end, because a fault in one often points at something else entirely.
Cameras, speakers and microphones
All of them, so nothing turns up as a surprise a week later.
Ports and buttons
Including the ones you did not mention, since damage rarely lands in only one place.
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.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
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 from €25, 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.

MacBook Pro 13-inch (Intel) screen questions.
€30, 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.
Usually while you wait. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
A clean-up check is free. Any other diagnostic on the MacBook Pro 13-inch (Intel) is from €25, and you are told the cost before it starts. No additional paid work happens without your approval.
No. The diagnostic is from €25, you get told what has failed and what it costs, and there is no fee if we cannot fix it.
Usually while you wait for the straightforward ones. An intermittent fault sometimes has to be left running for a few hours to catch it, and we will tell you at the counter if that is likely.
Then you pay nothing and take the phone away knowing what is wrong with it. That is a legitimate outcome and it happens often.
No. It is free, it is honest, and there is no fee if we cannot fix the device.
Usually the same day. Where a fault only shows itself under load we sometimes need to leave the device running, and we tell you that at the counter.
Only with your say-so. You get the cause, the price and the option to say no before any paid work starts.
Then that is what we tell you, and you pay nothing. We would rather lose a repair than sell one that does not make sense.
We test the device against the symptoms you describe, open it if we need to, and identify the actual fault rather than the obvious one. You get told what is wrong, what it costs and how long it takes, and you decide from there.
Yes, and there is no obligation to go ahead. If you decide not to repair it, you take it away and pay nothing.
No. The diagnostic is from €25 whether you go ahead with the repair or not, and that is true for the quick check at the counter and the longer one on the bench.
Walk in. We are at 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Closed Sunday. You can also book online and we will confirm a slot, or ask us to collect the device anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday.
Bring it in and we do it again at no cost, for 360 days from the repair, on the part and the workmanship both. That does not cover new accidental damage, which we will always be straight with you about.
