Minn-Tech Repair Services and Products

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!

Excellent job and superb customer service! Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve used Minn-Tech for 2 repairs and for purchase of refurbished HomePods. The customer experience was outstanding for professionalism, knowledge, and quick response. Highest recommendation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had come to terms with a $300 paper weight and was preparing to recycle my gen 1 HomePod. I then got brave and thought why not take it apart myself just to see how it looks inside. I googled how to repair my HomePod and lo and behold, option 2 mentioned minn-tech. I thought it was too good to be true but sure enough, I now have a working HomePod and it sounds great. The process was easy and I’ve already told friends and family I’d their HomePod dies, minn-tech is their savior.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great service, saved my HomePod from the trash! All fixed, and I couldn’t be happier.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent services. HomePod came back, powered back on and sounded great! Thanks so much!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Minn-Tech does it again! This my second HomePod they bring back to life. I was affected by the death fart issue on my first HomePod and I’m happy to report that it is now working better than ever. Seriously, had I known about Minn-Tech earlier, this particular HomePod would have been fixed years ago. I’m so happy with their service and would recommend to any HomePod user. Thanks, Minn-Tech!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommended … service above and beyond. I did both a repair and purchased a refurbished unit. Both are perfect.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very impressed with the service provided and detailed reports of each step of the way. I have several original HomePods and if any of my other ones or I have several friends with original HomePods, this will be our goto spot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 super annoying death-fart 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!!

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent HomePods. This is how should have them! Great price and vert fast shipping. I’ll be sending in 4 more HomePods as preventative measures. I highly recommend this!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Minn-tech went above and beyond repairing my gen 1 homepod with easy service, quick turnaround, and an incredibly detailed diagnostic where they fixed a couple other known issues that were a matter of time. Truly rare to find this kind of service that's true and earnest. It feels great to repair instead of throw things away. Thank you!! Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Minn-Tech was totally professional from beginning to end. I purchased one of the already repaired HomePods, and sent my own 1st gen HomePod in to be repaired. Shipping was very organized and fast, and the HomePod was repaired perfectly. I'm very happy with both my repaired HomePod and the other one I purchased from Minn-Tech. I would do business with them again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Minn-tech is fantastic! Super-fast HomePod service, very economical, tracked every step of the way – and my HomePods are actually BETTER than new! I have another pair that I will be sending in for preventive maintenance, soon! Many thanks!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Again…great and quick service…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service! First generation HomePod has been restored to service. Fast turnaround and a reasonable price. Thank you Minn-Tech for saving me from having to deal with this repair myself!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

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!

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!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
