MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2 Pro/Max), from 2023, with a 14.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR, mini-LED display and the M2 Pro or M2 Max chip. It carries 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. Nothing on the outside tells it from the M1 Pro 14-inch. About This Mac, or the number under the case, is the only way. Ireland gets the A2779.

Data-safe repairs
What this fixes
Why people book a data recovery.
- It will not turn on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It went in water and there is a year of photos on itUrgent. Corrosion is the enemy of recovery and every day counts.
- It was dropped and the screen is blackIf the storage is intact the data usually is too, even when the phone is beyond repair.
- It boots to a logo and no furtherSometimes the storage and sometimes software. The two have very different odds.
- It was dropped and has not started sinceSay so. Physical damage changes the route entirely.
- It went in waterTime matters here more than anywhere. The sooner it is opened and cleaned the more survives.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the storage?
Recovery and repair are not the same job, and doing them in the wrong order can cost you both.
IfThe phone is repairable
Repair it first. A working phone gives up its data far more easily and cheaply than a dead one.
IfIt got wet
Bring it in now and do not charge it. Every day of corrosion reduces what can be recovered.
IfIt still powers on at all
Start there. A device that boots, even badly, is far more likely to give its data up than one that does not.
IfThe screen is broken but the device works
Often the simplest case of all. A working device with a dead display can usually be read once it can be seen.
IfThe account password is not known
Say so before we start. There are limits to what anybody can do with a device nobody can sign into, and it is better to know that up front.
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.
The words genuine and Apple certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
What the €90 includes
- An assessment of what is recoverable before you commit
- Recovery attempted to a drive or a device you provide
- A clear answer when something cannot be recovered
- Nothing charged for data we cannot get back
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the laptop is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
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
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
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
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.
Will my data be safe?
This 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 device 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 device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
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.

€90, 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.
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.
A clean-up check is free. Any other diagnostic on the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2 Pro/Max) is from €25, and you are told the cost before it starts. No additional paid work happens without your approval.
No, and anybody who says otherwise is guessing. If the storage itself is damaged the answer can be no. We assess first, tell you honestly what the odds are, and you decide before spending anything.
Not for the data. If we cannot get it back you do not pay for the recovery.
No further than proving the recovery worked. Your data is copied, checked that it opens, and handed over. We do not browse it and we do not keep a copy.
Usually, yes, and where the phone is repairable that is what we recommend. A working phone hands over its data easily. Recovery from a dead one is specialist work and it costs more.
No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is tell you the realistic odds before you commit, and stop rather than make things worse.
Nothing. No fix, no fee applies here as it does everywhere else in the shop.
Yes. We look at what we need to confirm the recovery worked and nothing else, and the device and its copy go back to you.
Turn on the automatic backup your device already has and check once that it is actually running. That is the whole task and it takes two minutes.
Usually yes. Recovery is a separate job from repairing the device, and we can often read the storage even when the device itself is beyond economic repair. Bring it in as it is and do not try to power it on repeatedly, because each attempt on a damaged board can make things worse.
It depends entirely on what happened to it. Failed screens, dead batteries and broken ports do not touch your data at all. Liquid damage and board faults are case by case, and we tell you what we think after looking rather than before.
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.
Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given back.

I had a great experience with the guys, they helped me get started with my new phone, they didn't push me to go for the most expensive items, they respected what I was looking for.
