The MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) arrived in 2021, with a 14.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR, mini-LED display and the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. The ports are MagSafe 3, three Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SD card and headphone and it unlocks with Touch ID in the power button. There is an aluminium frame. The redesign that brought back MagSafe, HDMI and the SD card slot, dropped the Touch Bar and put a notch in the screen. A2442 is the model sold here.

What this fixes

Why people book a diagnostic.

  • It comes and goesThe hardest kind to quote blind, and the one most likely to get the wrong part fitted.
  • It got worse after a repair somewhere elseWorth looking at properly rather than repeating the same repair.
  • More than one thing is wrong at onceTwo faults together are usually one cause, and finding it is cheaper than fixing both.
  • 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.

IfOne clear symptom and an obvious cause
You probably do not need this. A cracked screen or a tired battery is priced on its own page and can be booked directly.
IfIt is a work phone and downtime matters
Tell us when you book. We look at those first and tell you early if it is going to take longer than a day.
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.
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.

Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your laptop is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    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.

    If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Asked all the time

    MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) 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 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) 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.

    Most of the time, yes, if we have the part on the shelf. That covers common iPhone and Galaxy screens and batteries. Ring ahead on 085 200 1155 with your model if you are coming across the city and want to be sure.

    That depends on what the device is worth and what the repair costs, and we will tell you honestly when the sums do not work. Turning away a job we could have charged for is the reason people come back.

    Yes, anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday. Tell us where you are and we arrange a time. Outside Dublin we are not set up for collection, so the device would need to come to the shop.

    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. Diagnostics from €25, no handling charge.
