Original (1st Gen) Apple HomePod “No-Bass” Repair Service

Description

HomePod bass issues may stem from a number of malfunctions. Most obviously, it can be from the woofer malfunction, usually requiring the woofer to be replaced with an operational one from another HomePod. There is no off-the-shelf replacement options that we’re aware of. Also, it may be caused by malfunctioning ceramic capacitors, or another shorted resistor or similar component on the amplified board.

This service requires a bit more involved diagnostics and can vary in cost based on the total replaced components.

In addition, we bolster the padding between the subwoofer and the support frame as well as the woofer and the top ring to stem any potential rattles that may be caused due to aging rubber grommets that anchor the woofer to the frame. We use a high-density 3M foam tape for this additional padding, which is offered to you, our valued customer, as a complementary service at no additional charge.

We strive for your convenience for worry-free shipping while reducing any potential shipment errors by extending a convenient and free mail-in service.

    Great communication. Fast service. You can trust sending your apple devices with Minn Tech!

  2. Neal K Jain (verified owner) –

    They actually answer the phone and return phone messages. Their service is great – delivered as promised. I had the woofer replaced to address a capacitor noise that would sound every so often when the speakers weren’t in use.

  3. Daniel Olaechea (verified owner) –

    They did a great job. Highly recommended for all HomePod lovers who love their sound and quality it pushes!

  4. Alex S (verified owner) –

    As many have said, great communication, quick service done right. Just requested service again for another HomePod!

    My first generation Homepod fell from the kitchen countertop and could not play the bass. Minn-Tech repaired it and went the extra mile to conduct further repairs. Here is the extract of their post-repair email:

    “Your HomePod has been fully repaired, updated to the latest iOS, and was bench-tested overnight.

    Here is what we replaced on your HomePod:

    – The Schottky barrier diode on the amp board that causes “no-power” issues is preemptively replaced before it fails.

    – We replaced the entire outer shell with an original spare together with the internal frame ring that supports the woofer. Both were irreversibly damaged due to a prior physical impact.

    Additionally, as a courtesy, while your amplifier board was out, we replaced four ceramic DC filter capacitors as a preventive measure. The old ones were still functional but were aging and losing their ability to hold charge, and over time they are known to cause the woofer to malfunction.”

    It now works as new.

    All along, the process was fast, communication was clear and constant, and the price reasonable.

    I fully recommend Minn-Tech for all first generation Homepod-related needs!

How we help with your HomePod problems

This super-convenient mail-in repair service for your non-bootable or dead HomePod works in three easy steps:

  1. YOU PLACE AN ORDER. Within 24 hours:

    (a) We email your prepaid shipping label to the email on your order. If you ordered via “Apple Pay” or “Google Pay” you need not worry about your email address, it is included in your order automatically.
    (b) OR, for an additional $10 (or $15 for some services), we will ship an emtpy homepod box with your  return shipping label inside. All paid for. Just check the box right above the “Add to Cart” button on each service offering page.

  2. SHIP YOUR HOMEPOD TO US:

    (a) If you did NOT order an empty box from us, pack your HomePod in a suitable shipping box with ample padding. Print out the shipping label we emailed you, and apply it on your own box.  If you do not want to print your own label, you can use the QR code we emailed with your prepaid shipping label at the US Postal Service office. Show them the QR code and they will print the label for you at the counter for free. You still need to pack the HomePod, they will only print the label, not pack the HomePod for you.
    (b) If you added an empty shipping box from us into your order, you will find your prepaid return shipping label inside the box. Just place your HomePod in the empty HomePod box, tape up the box, and apply the prepaid return label over the existing label.
    Take your box to a US Postal Service station or drop it in a suitable US Postal Service mailbox, or schedule a pickup for your box.

  3. WE DIAGNOSE AND FIX YOUR HOMEPOD, AND SHIP IT BACK TO YOU FOR FREE: We will fix your HomePod within 2 business days, reset your HomePod to test connectivity, update its firmware/software to the latest version from Apple, and reset it to get it ready to be paired again with your network. If your HomePod passes the benchtests, we will ship your HomePod back you with a tracking number.
