    Anyone had the need to get their screen replaced in Dublin city centre?

    Anyone have any recommendations? Price wise and quality of result wise..

    Price will be a determining factor as to whether I try a screen repair or just buy a new one (not from a mobile operator)

    what make and model of phone are you trying to fix, as this will probably be a factor.
    I've used FoneFix in Sandyford industrial estate, they have a list of potential prices per model on their site.

    HTC One M8

    It's served me well - over two years old. Still get about 24 hours battery out of it so there is still some life in it.

    Plus it's still performant. It's no slouch.

    I've used ExpressTech a few times and find them really good. They'll collect and deliver it back in a day.

    Talk to Alex in Wizz in Moore Street. Henry Street end.
    He's done stuff for several of us on boards.

    Have used FoneFixer in the Ilac a couple of times, quick, decent price and reliable!

    For the record was on my way to Moore Street and passed a number of places along Talbot street - popped into a few of them but the lads in GSM Workshop convinced me...

    Phone back in my hands now - great job. Flawless operation, responsive and a bright and crystal clear screen..

    €65 all done and they threw in a free screen protector

    Oh and a free pen :)

    All in all - very happy with that.

    Yep

    And the screen protector turned out to be tempered glass and not just a piece of flimsy plastic

    That's brilliant. I need to get a sgs5 screen fixed. Screen alone is +/-110euro....

    Guys!

    Smashed phone screen and kinda need it fixed within the next week.

    Don't want to spend more than €50, and it's a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.

    Any recommendations?
