The 4 Most Common iPod Repairs

Our staff at iHeart Repair knows how simple fumbles and mistakes can lead to serious iPod damage. Although some of our customers initially consider their damage to be unique and unfixable, we pride ourselves on being able to handle a large variety of iPod repairs.

The following is a list of the top four most common iPod problems and exactly how iHeart Repair can help you to fix them. Mistakes happen all the time, but you don't have to let them defeat you or your device.

The iPod was Dropped

Whether it slips from your hands as you try to dial it or slides off the counter as you reach for it, dropping the iPod is the most common cause of damage. This kind of occurrence usually leads to a damaged screen or a cracked case. iHeart Repair can replace cases, screens and any internal damage quickly, allowing you to get right back to listening to music and texting.

Inclement Weather

Forgetting your iPod by an open window is often a trivial matter, but when an unexpected shower or snow storm hits, this mistake can lead to a broken device. Serious circuitry is rarely damaged by these kinds of issues due to the excellent fuse system present in the device. iHeart Repair will determine the problem, dry out the inside and replace the damaged systems.

External Pressure

Sitting on your iPod, pressing too hard on the screen or otherwise putting an undue amount of force on your device can strain the housing and sometimes damage internal components. Most of the time, this is a cosmetic issue, and real damage is rarely done to the electronics. Either way, iHeart Repair can replace the case, diagnose any damage to the circuitry and get your iPod back to you fast.

Case Scratches

Most users will opt for some kind of protective covering for their iPods, but even with this added protection, scratches happen. iHeart Repair is an expert at replacing damaged screens in a jiffy.

iHeart Repair Knows iPods

The above list is only a small example iHeart Repair's capabilities. Our professional technicians know the devices inside and out, and our rapid iPod repair times and quick shipping options can help to resolve your issue quickly.  

Repair, one of 8 R's in Recycling

The info-graph above shows the 8 ways that we now need to look at recycling in the 21st century. Recycling has changed quite a bit from how we traditionally view the topic. As we covered before, recycling is actually the last option when it comes to electronics. This new info-graph shows the wholistic way in which we can look at all of our resources before we actually recycle them.

We all need to "Rethink" the way we handle all the stuff in our life. There is actually a grassroots effort going on now to reuse or repair many of the items that we use everyday. Many items that are old or worn out can actually be repurposed for something else. If you aren't creative with how to use your old worn out stuff you should consider selling to someone else instead. There is even a community of artists that have begun to repurpose old scraps as art.

When it comes to buying new items you should consider buying used whenever possible. This encourages people to continue selling their old things and it also reduces our demand for new products. As a society as a whole, we need to slow down our consumption rate of new products. Especially when it comes to electronics. Consider repairing what you have or buying used whenever possible, it is the best choice for our future.

Repair Apple products - Don't Recycle!

Last Monday (Earth Day) we were fascinated by the blog post by iFixit titled: "Happy Earth Day! Don't Recycle." Obviously the little seemed wrong at first, but we quickly understood where they were going with the surprising title. We are faced with a mountain of challenges in today's world of ever advancing technology. Every year a new model comes out of the iPhone & the most popular Android devices, and every time the product is updated people rush out to get their hands on the shiny new smartphone or tablet. The question that we ask is, what happens to the old device? Does it get placed in the sock drawer as a backup? Is it sold? If broken, is the old Apple product repaired or simply thrown in the trash? We hope that most people choose to reuse, repair or sell the device. Letting electronics sit dormant is most always a bad thing to do!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is the familiar encouragement to preserve our environment, but too often we skip to the last step much sooner than we should. We at iHeart Repair wholeheartedly agree with iFixit's statement below.

"Repair is better than recycling. Way better. Repair extends the life of electronics. It keeps things out of landfills, and out of shredders. Every cell phone repaired is one less that needs to be manufactured. Every laptop saved from the shredder lessens the strain on already overtaxed finite resources. Every computer upgraded can go on to a second, third, or even a fourth user before it really needs to be recycled."

We highly encourage you to get those old devices out of the drawer and sell them. If it needs repaired you can easily get that done for far less than what a new device would cost, then you'll be able to give the device to someone who will use it or maybe even sell it for a profit!

Ways to Avoid iPad Repair?

Now it might seem counterintuitive for us to offer advice on how to avoid iPad repair, but we do have a heart. We have only been around since 2010, but in that time, we have seen everything when it comes to broken iPads. Even though the iPad isn’t delicate, it’s also not impervious. Accidents do happen. Here are two of the most common ways you might become in need of iPad repair.

Water Damage: Electronics do not like water. When they come in contact with water or other liquids, they will often decide to not work anymore. To avoid water and tablet interaction, make sure to keep your tablet off tables or counters where spills may occur. And try to not bring your tablet into the bathroom. There are just too many potential disasters here.

Broken Glass: Out of all the things we see, the most common repair needed is from broken iPad glass. While it’s true that iPad glass is scratch-resistant and you can always certainly buy an iPad case, there are instances when these protective measures won’t be enough. Two that come to mind are steep drops and accidentally stepping on your iPad.

If you are looking to avoid a broken iPad, be mindful of how easy it really is for an accident to happen. However, if you do have an accident and are heartbroken, just know that iHeartRepair is here to make your iPad like new again. With a 24-hour turnaround time on most iPad repairs as well as an outstanding two year warranty, we can promise that you won’t receive better Apple repair service anywhere else. 

Save Money with your next Apple Repair

iPhones are the wave of the future. Every time the device is updated, it comes with better technology and more desirable features; however, the cost of this advanced technology is often high. While the base price for the new iPhone 5 runs from $199 to $399, getting it unlocked and contract free will cost you anywhere from $649 to $849. If locked into a contract with your phone provider, you'll be paying through the nose to buy the device and stay on your current plan.

If you already own an iPhone and have had the misfortune to break it before the contract is up, you may be wondering what to do. Getting a new phone will cost more than you'd like to pay or can even afford, but maybe you like the iPhone and don't want to give it up.

Here at iHeart Repair, we offer a solution. Instead of shelling out over $600 for a replacement phone, let us repair it for you at a much lower cost. This will eliminate the need to either spend a ton of money or wrangle with the phone provider over your plan.

The most common damage to an iPhone is undoubtedly a broken screen. While there are cases to protect the device and clear screen protectors that can prevent scratching, oftentimes they are not enough to deflect a hard knock to the vulnerable screen face. When your screen is badly broken, our skilled technicians can replace it with a high-quality LCD that looks and functions just like new.

At iHeart Repair, we specialize in Apple products, so if you're looking to get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch fixed, look no further. We offer screen and back glass replacement, along with LCD replacement if the screen electronics have failed.

iPhones have become so ubiquitous that it has become hard to imagine life without them. We offer 24-hour turnaround time on most of our Apple repair services so that you can get your phone back quickly. Don't waste your time and money buying a new phone when you already have one! Send in your Apple product to us today and have it repaired affordably, quickly, professionally, and safely. The sooner you have it repaired, the sooner you can get back to business as usual and get on with your life.
