MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro/Max), from 2023, with a 16.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR, mini-LED display and the M2 Pro or M2 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. Indistinguishable from the M1 Pro 16-inch from outside; the model number is how the two are told apart. Ireland gets the A2780.

What this fixes

The faults an overheating & cleaning puts right.

  • Fans loud constantly
  • Shuts down under load
  • Hot to touch
  • Performance throttling

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 €80 includes

    • Full internal clean
    • Thermal paste renewed where applicable
    • Temperature tested under load

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.

    Back in your hands

    Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

    What happens to what is on it?

    Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.

    Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.

    Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.

    What about the water resistance?

    Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.

    An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.

    Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.

    If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.

    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 16-inch (M2 Pro/Max) screen questions.

    €80, 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 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.

    A clean-up check is free. Any other diagnostic on the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro/Max) is from €25, and you are told the cost before it starts. No additional paid work happens without your approval.

    On a laptop or console that is almost always dust packed into the heatsink, plus thermal paste that has dried out after a few years. Both are serviceable. Left alone the heat shortens the life of everything around it.

    That points at the battery or something drawing current it should not. Worth a diagnostic rather than waiting, particularly if it is also losing charge quickly.

    For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

    Both. A lot of MacBook faults that are quoted as a full logic board elsewhere are a single component, and we repair at that level under a microscope. It is usually a fraction of the cost of a board swap.

    360 days on parts and workmanship. If the same fault comes back and it was not caused by new damage, we repair it again at no cost. Accidental damage, liquid damage after the repair and cracked glass are not covered.

    Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

    Usually. A phone that shows nothing is often a phone whose screen is dead rather than a phone that is dead, and the two look identical from the outside. Finding out which is free.

    For common faults on common models, yes, and the price is on the page you are reading. For anything with no clear symptom, liquid damage especially, nobody can price it honestly without opening it, so we do that for free first.

    Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts.

    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.

    4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 FX52, a few minutes from Drumcondra train station and on several bus routes into the city. There is parking on the road outside.

    Yes, with collection across Dublin, an invoice rather than a counter payment, and a single contact rather than a queue. There is a page for that with the details.

    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

    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.
