Michelle Wilbert sent me an email from Sayville, New York
that read,
"Hi, my daughter left her iPod in her pants pocket, and I put them through the wash. It was actually on when I took the clothes out, but now is powered off and sitting in a bowl of rice (it happened last night). Is there a way for it to be repaired?
Thanks,
Michele"
I sent her instructions to send it in and she chose to use Fed Ex to get it here. These are shots of it
taken apart and back together working perfectly. All of her Hannah Montana shows were still safely on
the iPod.
Fixed - Total cost $40.

Camille Clark emailed me in early March from Fennville, Michigan.
The message read,
"Hi,
I am getting ready to send you an iPod Nano to try and fix. It went through the washer.
I saw that you also fix cameras. I have a Sony Cyber Shot that I recently dropped.
The lens was out when I dropped it and the lens bent up slightly. I tried to push it lightly to snap
it back down but it still wouldn't work. Is this something that you could look at for me and do you think
it is worth fixing? I really like the pictures the camera takes but I also know cameras have come down
quite a bit in price. If you think it might be worth a try, how much would the fee be?
Thanks,
Camille Clark"
It arrived a few days later and I'm happy to report I was able to get it to work perfectly again though it
did require a replacement LCD.
The LCD was $22 and labor was $40. These are shots of the iPod apart and back together working again.
Fixed - Total cost $62.

John Handley emailed me from Duluth, Minnesota
in June of 2008 (9 months ago) to discuss the problem he was having with his 4th Gen Photo iPod. The problems were drive related, so I waved him off of fixing it since any drive that would still work in it would die immediately. They are all too old.
In March of 2009 he sent this message,
"Hi again Frank,
I have a new problem now that you may be able to help with. It's a 30 gig 5th generation iPod Video. After I dropped it and broke the screen I bought a replacement screen and battery and replaced both. All was well for about a month then the iPod booted up with a white screen. I took it apart again and checked / remade all the cable connections that I had done when replacing the screen. It booted up fine a few times then the same problem occurred - a white screen.
Want to take a look at it?
Thanks
John"
I responded that I had encountered this before and it was the LCD screen that needed replacing. It arrived a few days later.
With the screen replaced the iPod functioned perfectly. Strangely, the battery he had put in it, wasn't holding an appreciable charge so I recommended it be replaced and I notice he had his drive filled to 98.5% filled which is far too much. All hard drives, but iPod particularly since they are bounced around a lot should not be filled greater than 85% full. I gave a method to solve that problem.
The LCD was $33, the battery was $19 and labor/return shipping was $40
Fixed - Total cost $92.
