Common questions.

We quote the Nintendo Switch Lite 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 Lite 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. The diagnostic is free 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.

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.

How it works

Three steps, no guesswork.

Tell us what is wrong

Book online in about two minutes, or walk in to Drumcondra without an appointment. Either way you get a price before anything is opened.

Takes two minutes

Free diagnostic first

We find the actual fault rather than swapping the easiest part. If the real problem is cheaper than you feared, that is what you pay.

No charge to look

Repaired and tested

Fitted, bench-tested end to end, and back in your hands with a 360-day warranty on parts and workmanship.

360-day warranty
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.

Excellent experience with the team in imend. My husband 50th birthday present was a phone charger and holder for your car and it wouldn't stay attached to his Audi dash. The guys in imend put two devices together to get it working. Very happy Hubbie and wife- lovely guys to work with and they even threw in a birthday charging gift.
