The Xbox One arrived in 2013, with the AMD Jaguar eight core chip. Round the back it has HDMI in and out, three USB, optical audio and Ethernet. A wide flat black box. The launch model has a glossy strip and an external power brick; the S and X revisions moved the power supply inside.

What this fixes

What a free diagnostic actually fixes.

  • Several things wrong at onceOften one cause with several symptoms, which is exactly what a diagnostic is for.
  • It comes and goesThe hardest kind to quote blind, and the one most likely to get the wrong part fitted.
  • You do not know what is wrongPerfectly normal. Describing what it does is more useful to us than naming a repair.
  • More than one thing is wrong at onceTwo faults together are usually one cause, and finding it is cheaper than fixing both.
  • Somebody else has already tried to fix itWorth starting from scratch. A device opened in a hurry often has more wrong with it than it arrived with.
  • You want to know whether it is worth repairing at allA fair question and a common one. We will tell you when the answer is no.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely a hardware fault?

A diagnostic is not a repair, it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong one.

IfOne clear symptom and an obvious cause
You probably do not need this. A cracked screen or a tired battery is priced on its own page and can be booked directly.
IfIt went in water at any point
Book the liquid damage assessment instead. It is a different process and looks for different things.
IfIt is a work phone and downtime matters
Tell us when you book. We look at those first and tell you early if it is going to take longer than a day.
IfYou already know exactly what is wrong
Then book the repair rather than the diagnostic. There is no reason to pay for a step you do not need, and the repair price already includes the checking.
IfIt has been in water
That is a liquid damage assessment rather than a standard diagnostic, and it is a different piece of work.

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?

We source against the part number the console itself carries. That is the only way to be sure of a fit, and it is why we sometimes need the machine in front of us before quoting. Every part carries the 360-day warranty.

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 inspection on the bench, free
    • A written answer on what has failed
    • A price before any work happens
    • No fee 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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.

    Bench testing

    The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.

    Back in your hands

    Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.

    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.

    Power, charge and battery health

    The three things that explain most faults before anything is opened.

    Display, touch and every sensor

    End to end, because a fault in one often points at something else entirely.

    Cameras, speakers and microphones

    All of them, so nothing turns up as a surprise a week later.

    Ports and buttons

    Including the ones you did not mention, since damage rarely lands in only one place.

    Will my data be safe?

    This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.

    We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.

    Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.

    Will it still survive a splash?

    Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.

    An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.

    Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.

    If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.

    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

    Xbox One 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.

    Usually while you wait. 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, you get told what has failed and what it costs, and there is no fee if we cannot fix it.

    Then you pay nothing and take the phone away knowing what is wrong with it. That is a legitimate outcome and it happens often.

    No. It is free, it is honest, and there is no fee if we cannot fix the device.

    Usually the same day. Where a fault only shows itself under load we sometimes need to leave the device running, and we tell you that at the counter.

    Then that is what we tell you, and you pay nothing. We would rather lose a repair than sell one that does not make sense.

    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.
