Our senior engineering team has decades of experience dealing with liquid ingress in classic electronics. We understand that time is of the essence; the longer liquid sits, the more corrosion sets in. Our team uses professional-grade ultrasonic cleaning baths and micro-soldering equipment to rebuild damaged traces on the logic board. We treat every iPod with the same level of care as if it were our own, ensuring the best possible chance of recovery.

Our restoration process is methodical and thorough:

1. Full Disassembly: Every bracket, screw, and flex cable is removed.
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: The logic board is placed in a chemical bath to strip away mineral deposits.
3. Mainboard Assessment: We inspect for blown capacitors or corroded connectors.
4. Solder Repair: Any damaged circuits are bridged or components replaced.
5. Stress Testing: Once reassembled, we test battery charging, sync functionality, and audio output.
6. 1-Year Warranty: All repaired components come with our 12-month return-to-base warranty.

• No Power: The iPod is completely dead after getting wet.

Should I put my iPod in rice? No. Rice can introduce dust into the charging port and doesn't stop internal corrosion. The best thing is to keep it off and send it to a professional as soon as possible.

What if it can't be fixed? If we find that the logic board is too far gone, we only charge a £15 inspection fee. We will notify you before any extra costs occur.

Will I lose my music? In many cases, the hard drive survives liquid damage better than the mainboard. We always try to preserve data, but it depends on the severity of the damage.

Can a water-damaged iPod be repaired? Yes, provided it hasn't suffered catastrophic shorts. Our deep cleaning process removes corrosion that causes malfunctions.

How much does it cost to fix an iPod? Our liquid damage service is a fixed £50.00, which includes cleaning and basic component repair.

How long does the repair take? Liquid damage is complex, but we aim for a 3-5 day turnaround once we receive the device.
