My 1st gen HomePod was flashing and was stuck after a software update. I brought it to Apple and they told me there nothing they could do. It was too old to qualify for a replacement and they don’t repair them anymore. They essentially told me to throw it away and purchase another one. Minn-Tech saved the day! I shipped it out and a few days later I got notice that it was on its way back. I couldn’t believe it. It works just as good as new again! Thank you so much!!

SEND YOUR HOMEPOD IN …YOU WILL NOT BE DiSSAPOINTED…. I was a little skeptical that my home pod could be fixed at first . Took the leap and sent it in to Minn tech , they went above and beyond and fixed other items also at no extra charge . Sent the hompod back in a timely manner with the latest software update.. Works like a champ …

Quick and convenient service to fix what would otherwise have become e-waste and gone to the landfill. I've been using it for a couple of weeks since Minn-Tech fixed my 1st gen HomePod and it works and sounds just as good as new. Well worth the cost of the repair, especially since it is the fraction of the cost of a new HomePod!

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!!!

I have made a TikTok review to make sure EVERYONE knows about Minn-Tech. It upsets me that there is almost no information about this failure on the internet and that people like Minn Tech doesn’t have a lot of presence on social media -but I get it. It isn’t for everyone, that’s why I made a 4 min review talking about my problem and hopefully it reaches the right audience. I am so grateful I found him, my first gen HomePod is working amazingly well after this issue. I give you 5 starts cuz that’s the max, but I’d give you 100,000!!! Thank you!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Found via a google review, sent in BOTH my old door stops (because that’s what they were good for since they both went pop within a week of each other) and Minn-Tech did a brilliant job – new diodes and caps in both, and a new logic board in one – and I think they cleaned them both too. What an AMAZING service. Glad to have my stereo pair back in operation. Amazing service, and less in the landfill. Brilliant work. Five stars, no notes, would do again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am so happy I stumbled about this service. I have held on to my HomePod for over a year now because of the + – volume button error. I figured it had to be software related, as this error started after my other HomePods updated to a new version overnight. For $50, including shipping back and forth, this was well worth it! I am glad I held on to my Original HomePod and finally found solution. I'm so happy to have my stereo pair set up again. Thank you!

"Outstanding service and super-fast turnaround. How to cost-effectvely salvage a dead-as-a-doornail $300 speaker that is very hard to disassemble let alone figure out what to repair? Apple wanted $275 to do it (no comment), MN Tech did a superb job for a fraction of that, the unit is like new and works flawlessly. Bravo! And excellent communication all along."

For a music fan, good speakers are so important. These HomePods are really great, until they aren’t. HomePod is now working beautifully. Your customer service is outstanding! Not only are you providing a much needed service, you are keeping these out of e-waste landfill. Thanks & Cheers to you, best wishes for continued success!

Minn-Tech went above and beyond with my second homepod repair. They repaired parts that were worn out but didn't need to be replaced (yet), free of charge! This is the kind of customer service more companies need to implement! Very happy with my newly fixed homepod that will hopefully last many years to come! Thanks!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hearing about this service from a YouTube video initially kept me skeptical but I could not have been more wrong. The HomePod was shipped out and back to me in an expedited manner and I am thoroughly impressed with how much care was taken in fixing it. I absolutely would recommend the service to anyone.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am overjoyed that my HomePod is working again! This service was very fast, and it turned an expensive paperweight that wasn't working at all into a beautiful sound system again. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with this company's service. It was so easy, and the result is so wonderful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Exceeded all my expectations. Very professional. Kept in the loop thru the entire process. They even did some preventive maintenance replacing some capacitors that were weak but not yet failing at no charge. The best customer experience I have had in years. The turn around time was quick as well.
