Now more than ever it makes good sense to repair your broken iPod rather then replace it. Here at MacMedics and ipodmedics.com we’ve seen a pretty steady stream of folks looking to have their iPods repaired. The iPod is designed to be pretty much a disposable piece of electronics, as Apple has very few decent repair options available. With a newer, larger capacity, sexier models out pretty frequently Apple makes a pretty convincing argument to just buy a new iPod when your iPod starts to give you trouble. I shudder to think how many iPod users give up on a perfectly good iPod, just because it has a very minor problem or just needs a new battery.

Many, many iPods I see have simple issues like hard drive corruption or a bad battery. There are easy and cheap to fix. Even iPods with a serious problem like a dead logic board or hard drive are still worth fixing, as they can be repaired in most cases for less than half the cost of a new iPod. All of our iPod repairs carry a full one year warranty.

With gas prices, and doom and gloom with the stock market, everyone seems to be on money saving kick right now. Consider that it only costs about $2 (via USPS) to ship your iPod to us for a free estimate, it’s a worthwhile investment to find out for sure where your iPod’s situation really is. Since we don’t sell new iPods, we’ve got a pretty good incentive to repair your iPod, while Apple is more interested in seeing you replace it.

So if you’re in what appears to be a repair situation, let us take a look it might be something simple. If it’s not and you don’t want to invest more money into your older iPod, we’ll give you cash on the spot for it.

Send your iPod in for free check out, and if you have an older iPod sitting around, that you have no plans to repair, send that as well and we’ll use it’s cash value to reduce your repair bill. Okay, okay I know some of you already fell in love with a new iPod and have an old one in your kitchen junk drawer (right next to your dead cell phone). We’ll give you cash for your broken or damaged iPod. We buy all models in any condition and we pay top price.

As you might imagine we take delight in providing good service for iPods and Macs. This testimonial came to us yesterday.

“After putting my iPod through a year of abuse, I found myself at the point that I needed to fix it or get it replaced.  Wary of using an Internet based iPod repair shop, I stumbled across ipodmedics.com, who just happened to have a brick and mortar storefront I could visit about 30 minutes from my front door.  After emailing them about my problem, they emailed me back (after 9:00 PM no less), quoted me a price (that was more than fair), and welcomed me to drop it off during business hours.  I had no hesitation about skipping the drive, and dropping my iPod in that mail after knowing it would be well taken care of.  Three days later, not only do I have a functional iPod once again, but ipodmedics.com, went above and beyond, and fixed a separate issue I had free of charge . Needless to say, I not only highly recommend them, I’ve already given their name to a co-worker with his own broken iPod.”

MacMedics started fixing our client’s iPods last year. We have seen a ton come through the door in the last few months. We’ve fixed broken screens, replaced hard drives, and installed hundreds of new batteries. Out of all the iPods we’ve seen almost all of them had been misdiagnosed with a major problem. Just because your iPod is clicking it does not mean that you automatically have a bad hard drive. Some iPods cost upwards to $400, so when it breaks you don’t have to accept a $300 repair from Apple, nor do you need to run out and buy a new one. If we’ve worked our MacMedics magic on your Mac, and you’ve got a sick iPod, let us have a shot at it. If you’re a MacMedics client we’re happy to give your iPod a check up. Call our Baltimore office for more info on iPod repairs, service, and battery upgrades or check our webpage for more info.
