Battery Replacement Kits and Repairs for Apple's iPod, iPhone and iPad

Are Apple iPod Repairs Inevitable?

When it comes right down to it, the Apple iPod is a pretty fragile piece of hardware, and can break if you are not too careful.

Fortunately, we repair Apple’s iPod and iPhone from folks all over the country (and world) that need iPod repair assistance at an affordable price. First, make sure there is a phone number that works and, if you call it, someone actually picks up and answers. Furthermore, make sure that the agent who you talk to is familiar with iPods. Ask them if they can help figure out what kind of iPod you own if you describe it to them - if they get it right, then you probably have someone on the phone that knows what they are talking about. If you get a long silence, it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Alright, so let's assume they are able to i.d. your iPod just by you telling them about how it looks. Cool. Next, give a good description of the issue or issues you are experiencing. Don't be afraid to try and reproduce a specific sound that your iPod is making, no matter how embarrassing that might be!

So try your best to communicate what problem you are having, and then get a suggestion or two from the customer service representative on what they suspect might be the problem.

Be warned that this is only going to be an educated guess. You might be told that you could need a new hard drive, but chances are you will not know for sure what kind of repairs are needed until an iPod technician has a chance to open up the iPod or iPhone and see what might be going on.

Sometimes the repairs can be quite simple and affordable: a dead battery can be disguised as a number of false defects, and popping in a new battery can sometimes fix even the most dire of situations. But if it turns out that your hard drive is dead or the logic board/motherboard has seen better days, then it could be a bit on the high side to repair.

But don't stress - despite popular belief, it is still often cheaper to get your old iPod repaired instead of putting the money towards a new iPod. New iPods can run hundreds of dollars, but the iPod that you've had for a year or two is still good, and most likely has a TON of storage still available on the hard drive for more music.

And if you have decked out your iPod in stickers, jewels, or had it monogrammed, then you are probably more apt to consider a repair instead of junking it for a sleek new model. It is not uncommon for some customers to even have an emotional attachment to an iPod, for a variety of personal reasons. But we won't get into that here.

So if decide to have the iPod repaired, make sure you are getting a brand new part or, if the part is used (these are still good alternatives, by the way), ask for a discount. New parts a generally guaranteed for one year, while used parts can be covered for a shorter period of time. But any legitimate iPod repair service will make you aware of your options right from the start. And if they do no, don't be shy and ask about this right away.

Finally, if the repairs are too high to justify, consider selling the defective iPod to the service company for parts or get it back and put it on an auction site like eBay - you might just be surprised how much you can get for your broken iPod. In the end, it's entirely up to you to choose if you want to get your iPod fixed or investigate other alternatives.

If you DO decide to have the iPod player fixed, when you get it back from the repair company, run it through a series of tests - check to make sure the songs will play, you can hear to music out of both headphones, and the battery charges all the way and holds a charge over several days. And if you REALLY find that you received great service and saved some money, tell your friends - they probably have a non-working iPod sitting around in their house that they can get fixed too.

Recent Comments from Our Customers

"If there was a 10-star rating system, you would get all 10 and then some! Thankfully I went online to search out battery replacement for my little iPod nano. I went to GOOGLE and keyed in iPod battery replacement and got 676,000 possibilities! Divine intervention must have led me to this iPod repair site. The 'how to' instructions were very user friendly. I called to confirm my understanding of what to do next. The service rep was very polite . The request to replace my iPod battery was made. Within days I received the promised box for my iPod and UPS return envelope. Off to Texas for a new battery. And with a very short time my iPod returned home to Oak Park, IL ...like brand new, no lost music, no added fees. It was an absolutely perfect transaction. I would recommend you to everyone who doesn't trust themselves to accomplish battery installation. Thank you so much for such perfect customer service."
Kathleen from Oak Park, IL (Order 57516)

"Hi to all. My battery kit was delivered to Dublin, Ireland, within 5 working days. The installation instructions were top class and so simple to follow. My iPod mini has a new lease of life and is working perfectly again. Your quality of service and product is excellent and I have no qualms in giving you the highest recommendation. Good luck for the future."
Peter from Dublin, Ireland (Order 47264)

"I'm a very skeptical person, so I did my best to find the most legit looking iPod repair site. Everything I saw on this site seemed honest and forthcoming. And sure enough they delivered. Thank you so much, I was given a broken 60gig iPod Video and was told if I could fix it I could have it. Sure enough the battery did the trick! Your incredibly satisfied and overjoyed customer,"
Chris from Saginaw, MI (Order 53651)

"I was so happy when I found a place that could fix my poor old iPod at a much lower rate than Apple. I was also surprised to learn that Apple oftentimes just replaces the iPod. I waited until we could afford the price (which wasn't that high anyway) and then sent my baby off for iPod repair. I admit I was worried it was a scam (I'm just silly like that) but I sent it anyway. Now, a short time later, my baby's back and all better! Thank you so much! If I ever have any problems with future iPods, I'll be sure to send them your way!"
Mark from Port Charlotte, FL (Order 47687)

"My experience with your company’s iPod repair was nothing short of remarkable. They actually received my iPod, installed the battery, and shipped it back to me on the same day. Given my circumstances these folks bent over backwards for me. On top of that........ when I received my package and was worried because it was raining and my fear was that UPS would do their normal front door drop....... they didn't..... but if they did ....it would have been no problem!!!! These folks packaged my iPod up for shipping that could have withstood a dip in the ocean. Double bagged and bubble wrapped and double packaged. You don't see a lot of vendors with this type of committment and customer care. I have already spread the word at work"
Kevin from Doylestown, PA (Order 47538)

"Hi there, I just wanted to say thank you for great customer service in a time when such a thing is rare! I broke a teeny tiny yet very important piece off my iPod during the replacement, and thought for sure it was a goner. But, I remembered reading another customer's comments that they received help to repair their iPod in a similar situation. So, I called and - long story longer - my iPod works great now! Thanks again!!!"
