Moore St.

I had the screen for my 3GS replaced in 30 minutes for €30 in a tiny shop Chinese run shop. I'm 90% sure the guy in the queue in front of me was getting his 4 screen changed and was being quoted €40.

Unfortunately I have cause to revive this thread. :x

Whereabouts on Moore Street is this Chinese place? Does anyone know whether they do unlocking also?

Screens on the 4 and 3GS are very different - on the 4 the digitiser and the LCD are in one piece, unlike the 3GS where they are seperate. That raises costs somewhat

There's a guy I know who does iPod, iPhone and iPad repairs. Business is based in Celbridge, but he lives in Terenure. I got his details from the music school/music shop in Terenure village, and the guy in the music school said that he arranges for the guy to collect and drop stuff off there if it suits people better.

Website is www.ipodrepaircentre.ie and the phone number is 086-1702850. His name is Paul McNamara.
