Common questions.

We quote the PlayStation 5 Slim 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.

The PlayStation 5 Slim came out in 2023, which puts it in the range where a single repair usually buys years rather than months. A screen or a battery costs a fraction of a replacement handset, and you keep everything already set up on it.

Dust in the heatsink and dried thermal paste, in almost every case. We strip it, clean the cooling path, repaste and reassemble. It is a same-day job and the drop in fan noise is immediate.

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

Yes, including VAT, the part, the fitting and the testing. If we find something else once we are inside, we ring you before doing anything, and you can say no and pay nothing.

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.

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.

That depends on what the device is worth and what the repair costs, and we will tell you honestly when the sums do not work. Turning away a job we could have charged for is the reason people come back.

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.

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

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

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.

What actually happens

From the counter to the bench.

You hand it over

No form to fill in and no appointment to keep. Tell us what it is doing, or what it stopped doing, and we take it from there.

Walk-ins welcome

We find out why

The fault gets diagnosed before anything is quoted, because the obvious part is not always the broken one. That check costs nothing either way.

Free to look

You get a firm number

One price, agreed before work starts. If we find something else inside, we ring you first rather than adding it to the bill.
