Is this normal ?, ai prime violet not working

No

What should I do then ? : (

Given that you are not in the States, you can keep the light running and see how it performs. If/when it fails, just replace it. In the US, I'd have suggested sending it in to me for a repair, but it won't be worth it from Ireland.

How much do you charge for a repair like this btw ?, because there is on lfs near me that might b able to do it but they will defo charge more then whatever people charge in the US

It depends. Something like this is in the $70 range I'd imagine. To replace the LED, it will require a reflow and some board level work.
Your LFS, being an LFS and not a board level repair shop, would only be able to swap the entire board inside the light at best which inevitably drives the price up.

Also any chance it could b fixed by just resetting it ?, I seen people say that a lot and the person who I bought it from is saying they were all working

You could always try that.
