Assessed first, then quoted. We confirm timing before you commit.

Turn it off and leave it off. Do not charge it, do not plug it into anything and do not press the buttons to see if it still works. Dry the outside, and if it has a removable tray take the SIM out. Then bring it in as soon as you can. Every hour it sits wet, corrosion spreads further across the board.

No. Rice pulls a little moisture from the air around the device and none from inside it, and it leaves starch dust in the ports. Meanwhile the liquid is still on the board corroding it. Rice is the reason a lot of devices that could have been saved arrive here too late.

Often, and it depends far more on what the liquid was and how long it sat than on how wet it got. We open the device, remove the board and clean it properly, then work through what is still faulty. Clean water caught early is usually recoverable. Salt water, coffee and anything sugary are much harder because they keep eating the board after they dry.

Yes. Corrosion carries on under the shields where you cannot see it, and devices that work perfectly for two weeks then die are the single most common water damage story we hear. A clean now is far cheaper than data recovery later.

We quote after we have opened it and seen the board, because there is no honest number before that. The diagnostic is free and if we cannot bring it back you pay nothing.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

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.

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.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

The order of things

Diagnose first, quote second.

Describe the symptom

You do not need to know what the part is called. What it does, when it started and whether it was dropped or got wet tells us most of it.

Plain terms are fine

The device gets tested

Every one is checked before a price is given, so nobody pays for a component that was working the whole time. Nothing is opened without your say-so.

Nothing to pay

Fixed, checked, handed back

Buttons, cameras, sensors, speakers and a real call, tested before it leaves. Then 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

Tested end to end
The difference

The bench is in the building.

Nothing here is posted to a depot in another country and nothing is done by somebody you cannot talk to. That is why we can look at a device again the next morning if it needs it.

Repairs others refuse

Board-level work, older models and devices written off elsewhere. Refused is not the same as unrepairable.

A tier you choose

Genuine, service or premium aftermarket, named and priced before you agree to anything.

Nothing read, nothing kept

A repair is a hardware job. There is deliberately no field in our system for a device passcode.

Told when to walk away

When a repair costs more than the device is worth, we say so. It loses us the job and keeps the customer.

Customer reviews

Bought a phone at imend, Drumcondra, near DCU. What could have been a difficult experience for an untechical minded person like myself was made so easy by the very helpful staff member who ensured my phone was up and running smoothly with everything working well before I left the shop.

Maureen O'DwyerTrustpilot

Excellent service pleasure to deal with this is my 3rd time purchasing a phone from them.

Michael o'neillTrustpilot

Excellent experience with the team in imend. My husband 50th birthday present was a phone charger and holder for your car and it wouldn't stay attached to his Audi dash. The guys in imend put two devices together to get it working. Very happy Hubbie and wife- lovely guys to work with and they even threw in a birthday charging gift.
