Tyler Diaz sent his 5th Generation video iPod in from Colton, California.
It had been left in the pocket of his pants and put through the washing machine and a few weeks had passed.
In his case every component of the iPod had failed due to corrosion. The logic board (photos here) was badly hit front and rear, the LCd had two failed traces and the hard drive also had mechanical grinding and I could not make it work again.
In Tyler's case, the iPod was sent back with a $20 refund.

Andrew Chernov called form Quincy, Massachusetts
one day to describe the problem he was having with his 5th generation video iPod. As it happens... he tried to change the battery in it and his repair went "off into uncharted territory". He wanted to know if he could send it in to me to fix so he could get up off his knees praying for a solution to how to fix it.
I told him to send it along and I would provide any small parts needed to bring it back to life.
He sent it in with a check for $40 and it arrived toward the end of the week.
I fixed its problems and it was on the way back to him the next day.
Like me he likes House/Trance music, here is a Chemical Bros video I found on his iPod.
Fixed - Total cost $40.

Kris Basta noticed me on the internet.
What really brought me to her attention is my tenacity at trying to extract data (music, photos and videos) from iPods that had seemingly dead hard drives. It's not something I am successful at in every case but the Jason Rockhill story many people find pretty impressive.
She sent in her 5th Generation video iPod from Belgrade, Montana with hope and PayPal'd in $40 to cover my service.
The drive in her iPod was one that Apple used as a fill-in supplier, it's the Hitachi Travelstar. During the moments when Apple found themselves using them their factory supplier (FoxConn) had to make different ribbon connector to actually integrate them to the logic board.
I was not able to get her files off the drive, and wound up selling her a replacement.
Kris paid $40 for labor (and return shipping) plus $60 for the replacement drive.
Fixed - Total cost $100.
