Asked all the time
Common questions.
We quote the Nintendo Switch after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If a part needs ordering we tell you at the counter, before you commit.
Often yes, and the sums are better than people expect. Parts for the Nintendo Switch are widely supplied and cost less than they did when it was the current model, so the repair is cheaper now than it would have been then. We quote it against what the device is worth and say plainly if it does not add up.
Yes. Stick drift is a worn potentiometer in the thumbstick module, and the fix is replacing the module rather than the whole controller. It is a common repair and much cheaper than a new controller.
Sometimes, briefly. Contact cleaner can settle a drifting stick for a few weeks, but once the track inside is worn it comes back. We will tell you honestly which one yours is.
Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts.
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.
No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.
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.
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.
You pay nothing. No fix, no fee covers the diagnostic and the handling, so the only time you pay is when the device comes back working. If a repair turns out to cost more than the device is worth, we tell you that instead of doing it.
That is a cooling problem and it is one of the most common jobs we see. Dust in the heatsink and dried thermal paste. A full strip, clean and repaste is a same-day job and it makes an audible difference.
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.
The order of things
Diagnose first, quote second.
Describe the symptom
You do not need to know what the part is called. What it does, when it started and whether it was dropped or got wet tells us most of it.
Plain terms are fineThe device gets tested
Every one is checked before a price is given, so nobody pays for a component that was working the whole time. Nothing is opened without your say-so.
Nothing to payFixed, checked, handed back
Buttons, cameras, sensors, speakers and a real call, tested before it leaves. Then 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
Tested end to end
The difference
The bench is in the building.
Nothing here is posted to a depot in another country and nothing is done by somebody you cannot talk to. That is why we can look at a device again the next morning if it needs it.
Repairs others refuse
Board-level work, older models and devices written off elsewhere. Refused is not the same as unrepairable.
A tier you choose
Genuine, service or premium aftermarket, named and priced before you agree to anything.
Nothing read, nothing kept
A repair is a hardware job. There is deliberately no field in our system for a device passcode.
Told when to walk away
When a repair costs more than the device is worth, we say so. It loses us the job and keeps the customer.
