iPod Repair – Looking for a Recommendation

MorahRach–

Thank you. That sounds like an excellent price. I’ll speak to the ipod owner and confirm their interest before asking you for the store’s name & number.

Thank you, but based on my internet research, Apple doesn’t always repair out-of-warranty items; they just offer a refurb replacement for a high price. When they do repair, they’re also pricey.

Thank you. Do you know their location & price?

Thank you, but $99 is more than the owner will pay.

If it was my own ipod, I’d probably try the do-it-yourself fix, but since it seems difficult and complicated I don’t want to try it on someone else’s device.

Let me look into the Brooklyn-based shop first.

Thanks again for your help – I may still ask you for the Queens shop’s info.

You’re correct that the ipod touch can access the internet thru wifi, however this person doesn’t have internet access (I can’t go into detail).

I don’t know where “Irepair” or the “vos iz neis news candy store” are, and I can’t find any info for those online. Do you have any additional info about the shop’s name / location?

Thank you – $45 sounds very good, and the location is reasonably convenient.

I did a Google street view of Avenue O and West 7th St. I saw a Reisman’s bakery on the corner and a few other other stores there, but nothing that looks like an electronics shop. Do you have the store’s name or address?

If anyone is interested , cowboom.com is still selling used ipod touch 4th gen 32gb models for about $5 more than yesterday, but today you can pick and choose which specific item you want (some are in better condition and/or include accessories).

$149.99 – 15% = $127.50 + free shipping + tax

30 day no questions asked money back guarantee.

They have a site-wide 15% off sale, which expires Dec. 30.

Personally, I’ve bought computers and other electronic items from them and I’ve been satisfied. One word of caution – some items they sell aren’t good buys and/or are ridiculously overpriced (for example some used netbooks they were selling for $320 before dropping them to $100). Make sure you know what’s a good price before you buy from them.

Update:

The ipod was repaired at the store “cb1” recommended.

The cost was $50.

I saw the repair job, and to my untrained eye it’s indistinguishable from an original screen. The ipod’s owner is very satisfied.

The store is:

Inson Inc.

102 Ave. O (bet. west 7th and west 8th streets)

Brooklyn, NY 11204

718-668-9268

Thank you very much to all those who took the time to help out with this.

I can’t help you with your question since I don’t know anything about ipads.

I suggest you start a thread with “iPad Question – Info Request” or something similar as the subject. What you posted here was probably missed by people who could help you.
