About Minn-Tech

Excellent service! I sent in my original HomePod because the volume + and – buttons were constantly flashing. Minn-Tech quickly diagnosed the problem and found that the top control board was damaged. They replaced it with an original spare part and completely fixed the issue. The manager was very friendly and responded to all of my questions very quickly, which I really appreciated. The repair itself only took a few days — honestly, the longest part of the whole process was just the shipping time. My HomePod is working normally again, and I’m very happy that I was able to repair it instead of replacing such a great speaker. I would definitely recommend Minn-Tech to anyone having this problem with an original HomePod!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast high quality service with quick responses to any communication. Fixed my HomePod issues and upgraded some worn parts all included with my price. The price was a good value. I had my speaker back in a few days and it worked as it did the first day I bought it from Apple. I highly recommend this company for HomePod repairs.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing service, highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have gone to Fuat now twice for HomePod maintenance – the first seemed to be a more common/known problem; the second was simple oddities that began creeping up. Just as before, service was prompt friendly and professional. I will continue to go to Minn-Tech for any HomePod needs in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great service and even better communication! Minn-Tech goes above and beyond!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I own five HomePods, two of which required repair. The first would not power up and the second had the "Death Fart" issue. I sent both units in for repair. The units were sent on a Friday and by the following Thursday were back with me, having been repaired and working perfectly. I am grateful for the service provided by Fuat and his team at Minn-Tech, a service I highly recommend. I am now keeping my fingers crossed that my other three HomePods do not stop working, but if they do, I know where I will send them to be repaired – Minn Tech. Thank you. West

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent Customer Service from start to finish. This company does everything they say they will do and they do it with the highest standards of customer service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is how you do it people. This whole process is great. The service is clearly described. I shipped my HomePod to them on a Tuesday and had it back in working order by Friday. They communicated throughout the process, and even went above and beyond the simple repair. If you’ve got a “dead” HomePod, look no more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely top-notch and more than required. And I also say brilliant, wizard, splendid, exceptional, outstanding, supreme, A1, and all the other superlatives.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Once dead homepod delivered alive again as promised, quickly, and at a very reasonable price. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for this company.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I added a refurbished Gen 1 to my bedroom and absolutely love it. It’s great for listening to low volume soft music before bedtime. These are great quality speakers for the price.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They could not make this process any simpler. And a bargain to boot. I have several pods about the house – any that go bad are going here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They did such a great job repairing one of my bricked stereo pair Original HomePods that I bought a fully refurbished one from them for my bedroom. You can’t beat the sound quality that comes out of these high quality smart speakers. The new addition is working perfectly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been holding on to my broken HomePod for over the past two years, in the hopes that a company like Minn-Tech would come around that could fix my blinking volume lights. I was so excited when I found Minn-Tech. The speed and efficiency of repairing my HomePod blow me away. I am extremely happy to say I am more then happy with their service and quality of work! A Big Thank You Minn-Tech!!!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really thought I had a boat anchor on my hands until I found their YouTube video! The service is top notch and better than many of big brand repair centers. My HomePod has been working great since it was returned… shipped FREE! I have two others a many minis in my house and will turn to Minn-Tech in the future!

Totally legitimate and excellent service. Sent my completely dead HomePod to Minn-Tech. They repaired it extremely fast. And they restored it fully and even replaced functional but aging parts for better longterm reliability. Excellent. Highly recommended.

Minn-Tech is one of a kind service that’s hard to find these days addressing every single concern with a prompt responses and updates. They went an extra mile to determine and replace the potential failing parts to ensure that Siri's house has a long and healthy life ahead!

My stereo pair of HomePods (1st Gen) died during an Apple update from the Home app. A lot of Googling gave me some ideas, but most said the cause was hopeless. I was able to get a factory reset on one of the pair, but not the other. So I just ordered a pair of 2nd Gen speakers, feeling kinda ripped off as I know the old pair wasn't damaged in any physical way. I kept the bad pod plugged in and kept trying to reset it. No luck. I took the good pod, put it in the laundry room and, happily, loved having good music in there. So much that I went to eBay to find a companion speaker of the 1st generation. Very high prices for used equipment, some that could possibly not work. But … here's the good part … my eBay search also included a posting about an inexpensive repair. I was intrigued, but cautious. Seemed to good to be true. I looked for the name of the company who listed it and that brought me here to the Minn-Tech site. I looked at all the possible problems that were repairable and found the exact diagnosis: Spinning Light Endless Bootloops. It felt great to have someone in the online space that felt my pain. And, a huge plus, it was something that Minn-Tech knew how to fix. So here I am. A happy customer. The repair was a little over $50 and for an extra $15 a postage paid shipping box was sent to me. Now, only one week later … I have the most awesome stereo and can rock out while folding towels and delicates. Thanks, Minn-Tech, for making my day, week, and years to come.

OMG! I am absolutely delighted at the OUTSTANDING support and service for my out of warranty original Apple HomePod 1st generation! I purchased two of these the minute Apple enabled stereo pairing and never used them with Apple Music but as soon as I decided to use them together with a workaround app called Airfoil, I was able to use the HomePods with other audio sources. Then, one HomePod just died. It sat for almost two years just dead. Apple just stopped support and manufacturing of HomePod 1st gen. To get out of warranty support was almost foolish. Then, I found Minn-Tech!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! The Best service! And Better support than Apple itself!! Apple just dropped the bomb on 1st gen then, years later introduced 2nd gen that are not compatible with the 1st gen! WTH? Minn-Tech brought my 1st Gen back to life in DAYS!!! I am so blown-away at the Better-than-AppleCare service of my HomePod 1st gen even when it was in-warranty!! (Shhh. Don't tell anybody but I know Apple product support better than many… 17+ years experience!) Minn-Tech service I would recommend to ANYONE I know having HomePod issues out of warranty. I would recommend in-warranty but let Apple handle that part (just get their AppleCare+). When that ends… Get to Minn-Tech, ASAP!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently had my Apple HomePod repaired by Minn-Tech, and I could not be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. They clearly communicated the work being done, including a full system restore, firmware refresh, and extensive overnight bench testing. What really stood out was their attention to detail and proactive approach. In addition to fixing the primary issue, they identified and replaced known failure components on the amplifier board, including a Schottky diode and aging capacitors, to prevent future problems. The HomePod was returned fully functional, updated, and performing like new. It is rare to find a repair service that combines technical expertise, transparency, and genuine care for long-term reliability. I highly recommend Minn-Tech to anyone needing specialized electronics repair, particularly for Apple HomePods. Their level of professionalism and quality of work is outstanding, and I only wish more vendors operated with this level of integrity and customer service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When compared to other companies that offer the same repair services, Minn-Tech is in a class above and beyond all others. There is another “company” that streams its repairs on “YouTube” but it is slow and/or unresponsive to requests. Minn-Tech was the exact opposite! All of my questions were answered within one business day or less and the total turn around time from placing the order to receiving my repaired HomePod(s) was about 1.5 weeks. Their work is so good that you are left to wonder if they ever even dismantled your HomePod to repair it or did they just wave a magic wand over it. I sent them 5 HomePods with various issues (totally dead/no power or flashing volume lights) and now my home is filled with the awesome sound that comes from these speakers. Thanks to Minn-Tech for stepping up and providing an awesome service that should be the standard for all other companies attempting to do the same. They are beyond 5-Stars and I would use them again without question.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This company was great! I have a first generation HomePod that had been randomly making loud pops and eventually one day, it was completely dead and wouldn’t power on. I started looking for a repair shop locally because I didn’t really wanna ship my HomePod off, but there was no one here in Kansas City that I felt was competent enough to complete the repair. Prior to submitting my repair, I called and was surprised to actually talk to a live human being, who answered all the questions I had. I shipped my HomePod off on a Tuesday afternoon and had it back the following Monday afternoon completely repaired. My HomePod is now back to working like it did when it was brand new and the care they took with disassembly, repair, reassembly, and shipping my unit back is phenomenal. You would never be able to tell that it had been disassembled and repaired by looking at it. I would definitely recommend Minn-Tech if you’ve got a dead HomePod.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you know anything about the HomePod 1, you know they are a nightmare to repair. I honestly don't know who else could have done a better job. The whole process was incredibly smooth—perfect communication and he had the issue confirmed and fixed in just one day. Everything was exactly as promised; no surprises and the cost was spot-on with the original quote. What really impressed me was that he even went ahead and fixed a few other potential issues pre-emptively without charging me extra. He’s clearly a pro who knows these devices inside and out, but he’s also just a really honest guy to do business with. I just got it back today and it’s perfect. If you're looking for someone who actually knows what they're doing, this is the person. Thanks again Fuat! P.S. I was so impressed with the professionalism here that I actually went ahead and bought a refurbished HomePod from him too. Just received it and it’s great!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a clutch find! My HomePod was flashing the volume buttons and I thought it was the end of the line for it. I found minn-tech after doing some research online about how to fix the issue and these guys did not disappoint. Sent my HomePod out they let me know what was wrong with it (eroded node, from oxidation) corrected my issue and sent my HomePod right back.(Took a week roughly all together. I sent out my HomePod on a Monday from FL to MN it got to them Friday they had it shipped back out on a Monday and I got it back Thursday) . A $60 fix for a speaker I spent $300 on was well beyond worth it for me! If you are having any issues with your HomePod take it from me do not hesitate to use these guys. I NEVER EVER write reviews but these guys did right I had to leave them a review and I hope this helps someone out there who is searching on how to fix their HomePod look no further you’ve found your answer. Thanks again!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Minn-Tech. From my very first email through the return shipment of my repaired 1st-generation Apple HomePod, their communication was outstanding. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, answered my questions promptly, and made the shipping and repair process incredibly simple. The repair itself exceeded my expectations. Not only did they fix the issue, but they also performed preventative work by replacing components known to fail over time—all at no extra charge. When my HomePod came back, it was fully updated, working perfectly, and performing like new. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with excellent customer service and genuine attention to detail. Minn-Tech delivered on every front. I highly, highly recommend Minn-Tech to anyone needing a HomePod repair. They earned every one of these five stars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was just about to toss my 1st Gen HomePod because I couldn't get it to boot (despite trying every trick I could find online). I happened to find minn-tech.com when googling about recycling my HomePod. I'm so glad I found them! The process was super easy. I opted to have them send me a box; all I had to do was pack-up my HomePod, attach the label they sent, and take it to the Post Office. Not long after, I got an email that they had received my HomePod and could fix it. I also opted to have the parts that fail the most often replaced while they had it there. Not long after that, I got my HomePod back in the mail. It's better than brand new! It was well worth the price of the repair, and I wish them much success, as I have 5 other 1st Gen HomePods that may end up needing their services! Thank you, minn-tech. You saved my HomePod from the landfill and brought it back to life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In this day and age of internet rip-offs and the corporate world's doing everything more cheaply while charging higher and higher prices, it is more than refreshing to find a company that provides a great service at a very reasonable price. Minn-Tech repaired my HomePod exactly the way they advertised that they would, and I could not be more pleased than I am. They paid the postage both ways, repaired my dead, no power HomePod. and returned it to me all within a week's time . . . all for only $69.00 ! You will not be able to find a better deal than this. It now works great and sounds better than ever. I have four other HomePods; and, if any of them fail, I will be sending them to Minn-Tech for repairs. If you need to have your HomePod repaired, you can be confident that Minn-Tech will provide excellent quality professional service for you.

My HomePod died on me after updating to 18.1. It would show no sign of life, even when connected to power. I called Minn-Tech and was given the reassurance I needed to purchase the $69 option to fix my HomePod. They helped me figure out the best way to pack the HomePod for shipment, updated me when they received my HomePod and the condition it arrived in, and told me what the issue was and what they did to fix it. The whole process took exactly a week to ship out and for them to fix and ship it back to me. They also replaced additional parts with no additional charge that were worn for preventative maintenance known to cause the subwoofer to fail. I just received my HomePod last night, and it is moving and grooving in my stereo pair. I highly recommend Minn Tech if you're looking for an easy way to fix your HomePod that wont break your bank.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

EXCELLENT, WOW, FANTASTIC WOULD DEFINITELY USE AGAIN!!! My son's first generation HomePod was dead. Apple wants $275 to fix, might as well buy a new one. Googled the symptoms, saw YouTube videos on how to fix, honestly I would never be able to put it back together on first try, not to mention buying the right tools. Googled repairs in my area (Chicago suburbs), nothing. Came across Minn-Tech, what a find. For $69 (including shipping both ways!), Minn-Tech fixed the no power issue and replaced four ceramic DC filter capacitors as a preventive measure at no additional charge! Sent the HomePod on Tuesday 10/29 and was just delivered today, Monday 11/4. Works perfectly. Couldn't ask for a better result. Thank you Minn-Tech!!! My family has 7 other first gen HomePods, needless to say I've booked marked Minn-Tech. THANK YOU!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All the 5 star reviews are for a reason. Minn-Tech provides a needed service for those that have various HomePod issues, and they do so with a very high level of prompt customer service that conveys a thorough knowledge of the technology, along with a personal approach that is rare in business these days. My original HomePod had the "Death Fart" issue along with clicking and popping noises. Not only did they fix these issues but they preemptively replaced a different part that is a known issue FOR FREE. No hard sell or upcharge, they just fixed it. I wish I had found Minn-Tech sooner, as I have been dealing with the issues for years. They also sell refurbished HomePods at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cannot express how completely satisfied I am with the service on my dead, first generation HomePod! The local Apple repair shop wanted $300 to repair it, more than the cost of a new HomePod! I searched YouTube videos to perhaps repair it myself and found an instructional video showing the replacement of a diode. It was too much for me to take on, and over an hour and a half of work. So glad I found Minn-Tech. Not only did they replace the diode, they also replaced other components to ensure a long life. It sounds great again! Very reasonable price and quick turnaround. Don’t buy new, have Minn-Tech repair yours for less than a Homepod Mini and enjoy the HomePod’s full, rich sound!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My HomePod had the "Death Fart" issue – it started off now and then, but became much more frequent like clockwork. Minn-Tech to the rescue! The whole repair process was very streamlined and easy, with shipping labels and everything. Turn-around time was also very quick! My HomePod was returned clean and without any scuffs from the process. And most importantly – it sounds great and no longer startles me with full-volume alien fart attack sounds! I have full confidence that this HomePod will continue operating great for many years to come now that these known-problematic components have been replaced.
