Flash mods, installed by us

Hard drive or flash?

Flash storage has no heads, platters or motor, so the clicking, stalling and seizing that end an old hard drive can’t happen.

Great job resurrecting my ipod classic 120 GB after I shelved it for way too long; the new battery has allowed me to rediscover tons of music I'd almost forgotten about. With the addition of a bluetooth dongle and bone conduction earphones it's my revived goto for music!

Our story

Twenty years at the iPod repair bench.

We started in 2006, reviving failing iPod hard drives for $39, in most cases with all of their songs and data. Twenty years later we're still at it, focused on the eight iPods we know best.
