▶ 01 / What we restore

If it played music, games or Snake in the 2000s, we can probably bring it back.

01 iPods

iPods

Classic, Video, mini, nano, shuffle and touch. The battery usually goes first, and we can swap the old hard drive for microSD while we're in there.

▶ 02 / Services

What usually goes wrong, and how we bring it back.

iPod Classic opened on the bench
01

New battery

If it dies within an hour, or won't turn on at all, the battery is the likely cause. We fit new cells, and bigger ones where they fit.

02

Storage upgrade

Old iPod hard drives click, skip and eventually fail. We swap them for microSD, which is silent, faster, and holds a lot more music.

03

Screen replacement

Cracked, faded or full of dead pixels. Colour, mono, LCD or OLED. We replace it and test it with the device fully put back together.

04

New shell or housing

Scratched to bits? We refurbish and polish, or rehouse it in a shell that looks like the original.

05

Buttons, click wheels and D-pads

For controls that stick, skip, drift, or only work if you press really hard.

06

Charging ports and jacks

Loose cables, crackly audio, or a port that only charges at one angle.

07

Firmware and software

Recovery for devices stuck on boot, custom firmware for handhelds, and sync setup so your iPod works with your computer again.
