Broken iPhone 4S screen

godtabh

Any recommendations to get a screen fixed in the D16/D18/Dun Laoghaire area?

What would a rough cost be?

OneIdea

If your anyway handy... you could replace the screen yourself

You will find plenty of youtube videos to assist as well.

Looked at YouTube/service kits but would rather let a professional do it

Went to FIXIY on Monday. I wife had her phone sorted in about 20 minutes. Would highly recommend.

She asked about the screen. They said Apple dont sell parts but that the only source high quality components.

I had a couple of bad experiences with the cowboys called FIXIY, Firstly about a year ago I went for their fix it yourself option when my iPhone got water damaged. They assured me it was very straight forward procedure to do with the instructions they provide and the phone support that would be available. Neither were............... I eventually had to bring the phone back to them for their technicians to repair which doubled the price as they started to find other problems that only they could fix.

I stupidly dropped my phone back into them recently when my screen was damaged in work. The phone was still working and I could still take calls but the screen and display was FUBAR. They took my phone in and said it would be €90 to repair. I was shocked when I dropped back in 3 DAYS later to be told they had to wipe everything off the phone to get it back working. I questioned this and was told the phone wouldn't turn back on and need to be wiped to reboot it and the data was gone anyway so the reboot was the best option. I agreed and awaited a call to pick up my phone.

The call eventually came to say the phone was beyond repair. I even had to argue the point that should receive a refund as my phone was not repaired. After a stand off they begrudgingly gave me a refund.

I then brought my so called un-repairable phone up to another place called Max Burns on the Belgard road for a second opinion and low and behold my phone is working perfectly now and all my data was easily recovered.

I would like to retract my above statement, after I posted it I was contacted by FIXIY and a very nice gentleman apologised for the service I received. As a way of compensation he offered to repair another device free of charge to prove the quality of service they provide.

I dropped an iPhone 5 down to them recently that had a shattered screen, I collected it the next day and it was as good as new.

I must tip my hat to FIXIY as in this day and age customer service is usually non existent in companies. They could have just ignored the post but they went above and beyond to make amends!!!

They have converted me to a loyal customer who will definitely return and I will recommend them to friends and family!
