The PlayStation 4 Pro arrived in 2016, with the AMD Jaguar eight core with a Polaris GPU chip. Round the back it has HDMI 2.0, three USB, optical audio and Ethernet. Three layers rather than two, and a matt top. The Pro is noticeably thicker than a standard PS4 and it is the one that most often needs a fan clean. Ireland gets the CUH-7xxx.

What this fixes

The faults a dead device diagnostic puts right.

  • Nothing at all on the screenNo logo, no backlight, no response to the charger.
  • It vibrates or chimes but stays darkThe phone is running. That is a very different and usually cheaper problem than a dead one.
  • It got hot and then diedWorth mentioning. Heat before failure narrows down where to look considerably.
  • It gets warm on the charger and never startsSomething is drawing current. Worth a diagnostic before anything else is tried.
  • It died and will not respond to any button combinationCould be the battery, the port or the board. Guessing here is what costs people money.
  • It stopped after an updateMore likely software than hardware, and usually the most recoverable outcome.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely a power fault?

A dead phone is the one case where guessing is expensive, because every possible cause has a different price.

IfIt vibrates, chimes or connects to CarPlay but the screen is black
The phone is alive and you cannot see it. That is a display, a connector or a backlight fault, and it is a far better outcome than a dead board.
IfIt works only while plugged into power
That is the battery, and it is the cheapest thing this can be.
IfIt went dead after a drop
Something is disconnected or cracked inside. Usually recoverable, and worth telling us it was dropped.
IfIt loops on the Apple logo
That can be software rather than hardware, and software is recoverable without replacing anything. Tell us if there is data on it you need before we try anything.
IfIt was dropped just before
That changes where we look first, so say it at the counter.

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?

Premium aftermarket parts chosen against the console's own part number rather than its model name. You are told what is going in before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty covers the part and the work.

If the manufacturer still sells the part, that option goes on the table with its price beside the aftermarket one. We do not call something original when it is not.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the Free diagnostic includes

    • A full diagnostic on the bench, free
    • A written answer on what has failed and what it costs
    • No further work until you have approved the price
    • No fee at all if we cannot fix it

    You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the console is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.

    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.

    Free diagnostic

    We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

    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

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

    Before it goes back

    What we test every time.

    A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

    Battery and charging circuit

    The two most common causes and the two cheapest to put right.

    Board inspection

    Under magnification, where the answer is when everything else has been ruled out.

    Current draw at rest

    A board that draws nothing and a board that draws too much are two different faults.

    Boot to a recovery state

    Which separates a software problem from a hardware one before anything is replaced.

    Will my data be safe?

    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.

    Is it still water resistant afterwards?

    After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.

    The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.

    We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.

    If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.

    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 free, 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

    PlayStation 4 Pro screen questions.

    We quote it 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.

    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.

    No. The diagnostic is free and there is no fee if we cannot fix it. You get told what has failed and what it costs before anything happens.

    Usually not, which is the good news. Batteries and charging faults account for most of them, and both are ordinary repairs. The board is what we check when the cheaper answers have been ruled out.

    Often, and tell us that is the priority before we start. Recovering data and repairing a phone are sometimes done in a different order, and choosing wrong can cost you both.

    No. It is free, you are told what has failed and what it costs, and there is no fee if we cannot fix it.

    Often yes, and say that is the priority before we start rather than after.

    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

    An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

    We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

    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. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.
