iPod mail-in repair service

Blue Raven's mail-in iPod repair kit. Is your dying iPod worth it?

(Credit: Blue Raven)

It's a rare sight to see a functioning first or second-generation iPod out in the wild these days. If your vintage iPod's battery hasn't lost its ability to hold a charge, then there's always the chance of a failed hard drive, a broken screen, or an intermittent headphone jack. Sure, the latest crop of iPods are thinner, cheaper, and longer lasting than your bulky heirloom iPod, but if you have a soft spot for the old guy, or just resent gadget obsolescence, there's a new repair option for you.

Blue Raven, a manufacturer of DIY iPod repair kits and iPod accessories, has announced a new mail-in repair service for all models of the Apple iPod and iPhone. The mail-in service kit is available at major retailers and offers free two-way shipping of your broken iPod, along with an impressive turnaround of three business days.

Blue Raven is offering the mail-in repair kit in three flavors: a $129 kit that will repair any dead iPod regardless of what the problem turns out to be (includes battery replacement); a $59 kit that replaces any iPod's failing battery; and a $129 cracked iPhone screen kit (available in January). Each of the kits includes the free two-way shipping and a 90-day guarantee on the repair.

The services seem fairly priced, especially when you consider the convenience of just dropping your iPod or iPhone in a mailbox. The real question is, how much is your old iPod worth to you? Is that iPod Mini an heirloom, or a brick that's holding you back from a better player?

Refurb'd 5.5 gen iPods from Apple

Just FYI: You can buy the 5.5 (Late 2006 release) model iPod direct from Apple in their "refurb" section. I just ordered one for my mother-in-law last night for $159. That comes with a 1 year Apple warranty. I even think these might be unused iPods that were left over in inventory after the latest, not so greatest, "Classic" was introduced.

Hope that helps someone.

Buy Factory Direct! Not from work at home sites

If you want a reliable Long lasting Ipod replacement battery than I recommend www.longlast-battery.com , they have been in the battery Biz since 95 and are now selling to the public.
Your ipod deserves name brand and not cheap generic batteries.

Tried all the ipod repair places out there. Only one I have found to have the lowest prices and best service is www.irestoreteam.com. I had a cracked screen on my ipod video 5th gen and they fixed for $45. Total!

I sent my 5th Generation iPod in for repair. Got a new LCD screen, battery, and rear chrome panel for $99.
The website was www.nftechservices.com. You can find coupon codes for them on Google, but the sales rep gave me an extra discount because I had the rear panel installed too. (service would have totalled $115, if I remember right.) I was really impressed with my experience and I can recommend them.
