Home/Mail-In Repair
Build your repair and add it to the cart
Dead battery, clicking drive, won't charge, won't turn on. Most of them aren't dead — they're just two decades old and running out of the two parts that always fail. Pick the iPod, pick the job, see the price.
Fast in, fast out
| Turnaround | One day. If we have to order a part for your repair, five to ten days. |
|---|---|
| Shipping to us | Yours to arrange. Pack it well — we can't be responsible for damage in transit on the way in. We suggest pirateship.com for cheaper shipping labels. |
| Shipping back | One flat fee. USPS from Los Angeles. |
Priced up front, not after we open it
Pick your repair above and the total is on screen before you pay — no waiting on a quote. Parts are listed at the same price we sell them for on the parts page, and we charge nothing to fit parts you send us. If we open it and find something we did not expect, we contact you first. Nothing that changes your price happens without your say-so.
| Service, standard job | $49 — covers a battery replacement, a flash memory conversion, or both on the same visit. Broken out on your receipt as $15 diagnosis plus $34 bench labor. |
|---|---|
| Parts | Listed prices, shown in your total before you pay. Storage cards are $29.99 for 32GB, $35.99 for 64GB, $45.99 for 128GB and $80.99 for 256GB. *Card prices are subject to change with market prices. |
| Your own parts | Free to fit. Cards must be SD or microSD with an adapter. |
| If it cannot be saved | We keep the $15 diagnosis and give you the $34 back. Most people would rather end up with a working iPod, so we will take $40 off any iPod you buy from us instead — email us when you are ready and we will send you a payment link with it already taken off. Prefer the cash? Ask and we send the $34 back. If you want the dead one returned, tell us and we will ship it. |
What we work on, and what we don't
We work on
iPod Classic 5th, 6th and 7th generation. iPod Mini 1st and 2nd generation. Batteries, flash memory conversions, housings, click wheels, screens, jacks and dock connectors.
We don't do soldering
Board-level work is outside what we take on. If your iPod turns out to need it, we'll tell you during diagnosis so you can decide where to take it — and we'll ship it back to you.
