These are a few my recent iPod repair experiences.

Margo Sunderland lives in Weslaco (1650 miles away) This is an interesting story... Her son cracked the LCD on his nano. They sent it in to me along with $67 in cash to cover the repair. It got here on a Saturday and i fixed and sent it back the same day. She called the next Tuesday explaining her husband had called her a fool for sending the iPod *AND* cash to someone she didn't know and she would never get any of it back!. She called to say thanks for making her look goof to her son, and setting her husband back on his heels with his distrust. (a couple of days later she called explaining her other had dropped his Video iPod in water and was sending it in.. with cash). Fixed - Total cost, including shipping .. $67. ($40 labor and return shippping, $27 for the LCD.



Lynette Yoder lives in Arthur, Illinois (2100 miles away). Her son left his nano 2nd in his clothing while it went through the wash. Like others that have had this happen recently she was a bit unsteady realizing this was an expensive device that didn't work any longer. She got a hold of me and was reassured there might be a fix. She sent it in with 2 $20 bills to be fixed. i got this one back in perfect condition and all the songs are there. The cash was appreciated too ;)
Fixed - Total cost..$40.



Myla J lives in San francisco (90 miles away) She sent her 4th Gen 40GB iPod in. we weren't clear whether it was the drive (strong probability) or the logic board. It got here and I changed out the drive and logic board to determine that it was the hard drive. She was given the option of a 20GB drive or a 40GB like she had before. She opted for the 20GB because it was less expensive and was the size she really needed after all.

Fixed - Total cost to get her new 20GB is $80. ($40 labor and return shippping, $40 for the drive.
