iPod Classic 5th Gen Charging Port Repair $79

iPod Classic 5th Generation Charging Port Replacement $79

**** Don't wait, these charge port parts are getting harder to find .. and price will only go up as I have less of stock. I AM AT A 45 DAY BACKLOG FROM TIME RECEIVED!

$15 upfront fee is the standard diagnostic fee.  If the device can be repaired, then the $15 diagnostic fee will be applied to final repair and I will bill you the balance via an email invoice.  I don't have many ports left, they are getting harder to find (original ports)

If the charging port on your iPod Classic 6th Gen has become damaged, this repair will fix the issue.  This repair also fixes Classic 5th generation devices with Charging port problems and 7th Generation Devices with charging port issues. (Do not worry about discerning a 6th gen from a 7th Gen, they use the same part, 7th gen is just slightly more difficult to open)

Very Few shops perform this repair, we have done hundreds of them, maybe only two devices had issues with internal solder pads that were ripped due to customer damage to the port but those pads were not critical to the port functions (it has 30 pins and only 6 are needed), USB ports only have 4 runways!  Of those two that had ripped solder pads due to the extreme physical trauma, both were still fully functional after charge port was replaced, we have a 100% success rate!  We can replace or repair all iPod classic charger ports.

If You DO NOT See physical Trauma to the port

If you do not see any damage to the charging port, you can purchase our diagnostic service.  (Click Here) .99 + return shipping for us to look at.  If issue is found, the .99 + shipping will be applied to the specific repair cost advertised on this site.   

Common issues with charging ports requiring replacement

• charging port shows signs of damage, physical trauma to the pins
• pins in charging port show signs of being pushed in

REQUIREMENTS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE REPAIR for your ipod Classic Charging Port Issue or problem

• You must be original owner, did not buy this 2nd hand.  It is very easy to place a screwdriver into charge port and sell, telling the buyer that it just needs a new charge port!  You must have 1st hand knowledge that it was working prior to charge port damage.  I will test when I receive, if it is found that it does not work when powered on, a $15 diagnostic fee applies for the time spent on testing device (these are very difficult devices to open).  
• You must see physical trauma to charge port, an absolute must.  If we receive and you want us to open device up to check the pins on the inside, $15 diagnostic fee applies.  This is of course, if the port on the outside looks good.  It is rare for a port to look good on the outside and have shorts on the inside.  That is usually a result of moisture exposure if shorts exist.  
• No moisture exposed devices accepted.  If we open device and there are signs of water exposure, we must return device.  Moisture esposed devices only get worse once we disconnect cables.  The corrosion present on cables may be the only thing allowing the iPod to partially function.  Once that corrosion link is broken, there are at times, no way to get that link back.  Corrosion melts connections!

15 Month Warranty against defects.

You will not be able to tell we opened device, will look and function just as when you sent it in.  Professionally repaired, not one warranty request since we have been repairing them! 

If you need a new face while we have it open, we can replace for a minial fee, discount will be available over advertised price, let us know if you are interested.
