The Pixel 6 arrived in 2021, with a 6.4 inch OLED display and the Google Tensor chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader under the display. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. A flat screen, a two-tone glass back and the camera bar with two lenses. Its under-display fingerprint reader is the slowest of the range and that is not a fault.
Half the phones that arrive here with no sound have nothing wrong with the speaker.
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.
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Google 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 Google 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.
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
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.
Speakers and microphones are small parts and the tier gap on them is the smallest on this list.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own driver. Worth specifying on a phone you intend to keep a long time.
Priced at the counterPremium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On a speaker this is hard to fault and it is what most of these repairs use.
Priced at the counterThe €85 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
Before any of this, let us look at the grille. Compacted pocket lint muffles a loudspeaker very effectively, and where a clean fixes it that is what you pay for and no part goes in at all.
Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Both directions. It is the only test that proves the earpiece and the call microphone together.
They are different parts and a fault in one says nothing about the other.
Call, video and the noise-cancelling one, because they are used for different things.
Quiet and loud, because a damaged driver often passes at low volume and rattles at high.
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.
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.
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 free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€85, 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.
Very often, yes. The loudspeaker grille packs with pocket lint and it muffles sound long before it silences it. We clean and test before quoting a replacement, and where the clean fixes it that is what you pay for.
Sometimes, because on most models the earpiece is part of the display assembly. Tell us what the sound is doing when you book and we will check both together rather than doing one and finding the other.
Gently, with a soft dry brush and the phone switched off. Never a pin and never compressed air into the grille.
Sometimes, because on most phones the earpiece is part of the display assembly. Tell us what the sound is doing when you book so we check both.
A speaker or microphone is one of the cheaper parts in a phone, so usually yes.

Great service, same day pixel 6a fix
