I got an email from Vicky Gomez of Oakland, California
on the morning of September 6th 2008, about her iPods reading,
"Hello,
I saw your site on the web and I am in desperate need of some iPOD repair services.
I have 3 iPODS that need your help. The first is a 60G video/color display that
I dropped in a glass of water in my car. Unfortunately it was dropped a while ago
and may not be salvaged. I have been meaning to take it to be repaired and have been
strapped for time. The second is a older generation mini that loses it's charge really
quickly. Last is a really old iPOD that no longer will connect to my ibook to update the song lists. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for hearing me out. I can never get into those genius bar appointments and I am ready to get the my favorite little MP3s fixed.
Vicky"
A month later on October 19th I got this message from here,
"Hello Frank,
I am finally sending my 60G in the mail tomorrow and I wanted to know if you needed me
to send the charging cord and the USB cord. I am sending it in a padded envelope with a
$40 check. This is the one I am most anxious to try and fix. Thanks for your help!
Vicky Gomez"
I arrived on October 22nd and I tool it apart and went to work on it. A few hours later
I was finished and put it back together to test it. It worked perfectly!! My time tested
processes had worked again.
Her total cost to get her iPod back working... $40
On October 28th she got it back and sent me this message,
"Thank you so much for salvaging my ipod! It works great!
Vicky"
Fixed - Total cost $40.

Stella Brockner called me from her work in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
She is doing contract work for Wachovia Bank and with the financial meltdown and their being acquired, has now found another job with her son's firm which is also part of the Charlotte Financial Center.
Her Nano 3rd Gen iPod is a water immersion case. I was able to get it to work again completely, with the battery and it's re-charge working but was not able to get the L:CD to work correctly. As I've mentioned elsewhere in recent models Apple seems to have the positive lead of the LCD connected at all times and switch the negative lead to the backlight on an off. In a water immersion the positive trace acts like an anode in metal plating and 'gives up' it's metal molecules eroding the connection completely.
Her Liquid Crystal Display had to be replaced. The part was $33 and labor/return
shipping was $40. It now works perfectly again.
Fixed - Total cost $73.

Jim Foster called me Columbania, Ohio
where he owns Global Pak, a packaging and shipping company. His daughter's 3rd Generation
Nano iPod was put through the washer and dryer and was wondering what the chances were.....
It arrived by DHL a couple of days later. I was able to get her iPod working and for reasons I've mentioned in other water cases, the LCD needed to be replaced, but I got all of the rest of it working perfectly.
The LCD was $33 and labor was $40
Fixed - Total cost $73.
