What exactly does the warranty cover?
Every completed repair is backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship. It covers faulty parts and workmanship, but does not cover new accidental damage, misuse or unrelated faults after the repair. Liquid damage repairs are excluded from the 12-month warranty due to the risk of ongoing corrosion.
- Walk-in and prepay-online prices are identical; Collection & Return adds the flat €30 — there are no other charges.
- No additional paid work is carried out without customer approval. If we find another issue during repair, we explain it clearly and confirm the cost before proceeding.
- If your device can’t be fixed, there is no repair charge — only any agreed diagnostic or assessment fee for complex faults.
- You’ll receive updates by text and email throughout, and you can track your repair using your ticket details.
Your data

We recommend keeping a backup as a general precaution before any repair.
Symptoms: is this the right repair?
This repair may be right if you are seeing:
- Only charges at certain cable angles
- Cable feels loose in the socket
- No response when plugged in
If you are not sure which repair is right, our technicians will confirm the fault before any work begins.
Can I keep using it?
Safe to keep using if it still charges normally. Do not charge it at all if liquid was involved.
What a successful repair restores
A successful charging repair restores reliable charging; cable fit and charging response are tested before return.
Why did this happen?
Often it isn’t broken at all — pocket lint and dust compact at the bottom of the port until the cable can’t seat properly.
Often plain mechanical wear: thousands of insertions loosen the connector’s grip over a device’s life.
Sometimes the device is fine and the cable or adapter is the culprit — always worth testing another set first.
Could a cheaper fix be enough?
We inspect and clean the port first where appropriate, and only quote a replacement if cleaning doesn’t resolve it or the port is damaged — the cleaning cost is credited toward the replacement if one is then needed.
What happens if I wait?
A worn or debris-blocked port usually becomes less reliable with every connection — intermittent charging tends to become no charging. We inspect and clean first where appropriate, which often resolves it while the port is still serviceable.

12-month warranty
Every completed repair is backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship. It covers faulty parts and workmanship, but does not cover new accidental damage, misuse or unrelated faults after the repair. Liquid damage repairs are excluded from the 12-month warranty due to the risk of ongoing corrosion.
If anything isn’t right after your repair, contact us with your ticket details — call 01 644 9555, WhatsApp, or email hello@expresstech.ie. Read the full warranty.
From the bench
A loose cable is not always a port fault — corrosion from a small liquid exposure months ago can look identical. Mention any liquid history when you book: it changes what we inspect first.
