About Minn-Tech

I cant say enough good things about Minn-Tech. I almost threw out two Gen1 HomePods in almost new condition with the exception of known internal issues. I am SO glad I found them and couldn't be happier. They made it easy, affordable, and I am grateful for their expert service. Not only did they fix the power issue but went above and beyond to replace other components known to fail for the same price while they were in there. Amazing and smart. Wish I had found them earlier and will use them again whenever possible. Keep up the amazing quality work Minn-Tech and thank you!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service and communication!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After sending in my first HomePod of a pair with an issue and being blown away by the service, I sent my other HomePod in for preventive maintenance. I received he best communication I’ve had from any maintenance/repair company. They worked on it immediately and it was in the mail back to me after their overnight testing. I agree with other reviews that the bass is better, plus with replacement of some electronic parts known to cause problems, I am likely good for a long time. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am beyond happy to have my first-generation HomePod brought back to life. The service was incredibly fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. It’s not easy to find reliable repair options for older devices, so this was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to revive their HomePod instead of replacing it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Was faster and more pleasant than I expected. They were very clear and communicative without being annoying. Fixed my HomePod and had it back in no time. Works great! Overall good experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Such a great service they provide. Friendly and fast!!! So happy I found you! Thank you!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am amazed how well this went! My 1st Gen. HomePod lives on. I'm so glad I went for the repair route and chose Minn-Tech. Service is outstanding.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service! Reasonable price Great communication Am sending my working Home Pod for preventative maintenance!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

minn-tech’s communication was transparent, shipping instructions accurate, and cost reasonable to save my bricked original HomePod. You can trust these folks to rescue your beloved speaker and return it to you shelf ready. Thanks guys and gals, I’m so glad I didn’t have to dispose of my HomePod because of a firmware glitch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Above and beyond service, quick turnaround, seamless process, very fair pricing. Excellent company to do business with and the work is fantastic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very fast and high quality service exactly like Apple Mail in Warranty Service. This is currently the best HomePod service on the market for the price and value. Super highly recommended. Thank you for reviving my HomePod.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very fast turnaround, and they work like new again. It even looks like they cleaned the mesh while they had them apart! I was just about to recycle my dead HomePods, and i'm glad I did not! Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast responses , Great communication.. really happy with the results

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great fix for my groaning HomePod 1! Even for a Canadian like me. All you need is access to an American mailbox 😁. No fool in’ around…these guys mean business😁

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good as new! I forgot how good they sound in a stereo pair. Turn around time was very fast especially considering it was around the holidays.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very satisfied. Fast shipping, well packed, HomePod looked great (like new), working perfectly 6 weeks in. Would buy again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service! My dead HomePod was repaired very quickly and works like new! Excellent communication throughout the process. The prepaid shipping label made it very convenient.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After moving to a new place, one of my HomePods wouldn't turn on and I thought the only option would be to buy a new one… But these guys fixed it in no time, and I found it extra handy that they provide a shipping label. Cannot recommend them enough!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent job! So glad I found you guys.. HomePod is back running again perfectly. I'm considering buying a few more used HomePods from you so each room will be stereo paired.. Thank you !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very fast and high quality service exactly like Apple Mail in Warranty Service. This is currently the best HomePod service on the market for the price and value. Super highly recommended. Thank you for reviving my HomePod.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Two day shipping was fast! Packaging was very good. HomePod works perfectly. Was able to sync it to my iPhone immediately out of the box. Device was clean, no cracks or scuffs, basically brand new.

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.

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.
