The PlayStation 5 Slim came out in 2023, with the custom AMD Zen 2 eight core with RDNA 2 graphics chip. Round the back it has HDMI 2.1, two USB-C at the front, two USB-A at the back and Ethernet. Smaller than the launch console, with a seam across the side panels and a disc drive that clips on rather than being built in. The one sold in Ireland is CFI-2xxx.

What this fixes
Why people book a water damage treatment.
- It went in water and still worksThe most deceptive one. Corrosion starts immediately and keeps going, so a phone that survived the swim often fails days later.
- The speaker is muffled or cracklingWater in the speaker mesh. Sometimes it clears, often it has already taken the driver.
- It works now and it went in last weekThe most deceptive outcome there is. Corrosion started the moment it got wet and it does not stop on its own.
- The screen is patchy or discolouredLiquid under the display, and the panel is often the least of what is wrong.
- It has started restarting weeks laterDelayed corrosion catching up. Tell us when it happened, because it changes where we look.
- The camera is fogged from insideMoisture behind the lens. It rarely dries out and it usually means the module.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the liquid?
Liquid damage is the one repair where what you do in the first hour matters more than what we do afterwards.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Still assess the whole phone. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
IfYou need what is on it more than the phone itself
Say so first. If data matters more than the handset we work in a different order, and starting the wrong way round can cost you both.
IfIt went in salt water or anything sugary
Treat it as urgent. Both are far more aggressive than clean water and the window before permanent damage is much shorter.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Have the whole device assessed anyway. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
IfThe data matters more than the phone
Say that first. Recovering the data and recovering the phone are sometimes different routes, and starting the wrong way round can cost you both.
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?
Parts are ordered against the number printed on the component, not the name on the box, because the same model name covers very different hardware. What we are fitting is confirmed to you first, and it carries 360 days of cover.
Where a genuine manufacturer part is available for your console we will tell you, and we will tell you what it costs against the alternative. Nothing is described as original unless it is.
What the Free diagnostic includes
- Full disassembly and inspection of the board
- Ultrasonic cleaning of affected components
- A written assessment of what is recoverable before anything is charged for
- The cost of the assessment taken off the repair if you go ahead
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.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
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
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
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.
Board inspection under magnification
Corrosion is visible long before it is fatal, and that is what decides whether the phone is worth repairing.
Every function afterwards
Cameras, speakers, microphones, charging and sensors, since liquid does not respect one component.
Charge and discharge under load
A board that behaves at rest can fail the moment it is asked to do something.
Cameras, speakers and microphones
All of them are moisture-sensitive and all of them are checked before it goes back.
What happens to what is on it?
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.
Will it still survive a splash?
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 5 Slim 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.
Often yes. Corrosion is progressive rather than instant, and phones arrive here working weeks after a soaking and are still recoverable. The assessment tells you where it actually stands.
Because nobody can see inside a wet phone from the counter. Two phones from the same sink can need a clean and a new board. We charge for the assessment, tell you what we found, and take that cost off the repair if you go ahead.
No, and no honest shop covers it. Corrosion carries on after the repair in ways nobody can predict or control, so a warranty on it would be a promise we could not keep.
Often yes. Devices arrive here working weeks after a soaking and are still recoverable. The assessment tells you where it stands and it costs nothing to find out.
Often, and it is worth saying that is the priority before we start rather than after.
