Apple elevated the MP3 player to ubiquity with the arrival of the first generation iPod in 2001. Despite the iPod’s immense popularity, they are not without problems. iPods are often criticized because of their short battery life and fragile hard drives, not to mention how easily they scratch! Roughly one of every six iPods will fail, without counting all the iPods that get dropped or smashed!

Before you buy another iPod, why not try to fix it? No matter what type of iPod you have, iPod Repair Shop can make sure your iPod is in tip-top shape. iPod Repair Shop can repair any type of iPod, including:

Playstation Portable

The Sony PSP gets to see much more action in the real world than most PlayStation devices. If things get rough in the field and your PSP gets wounded in action, Sony’s limited 90-day warranty on defects in materials and workmanship likely won’t be of much help.

Console Repair Shop recommends that potential customers check with Sony to determine the warranty status of any broken console since they will repair the unit free of charge when covered under warranty. But generally, used PSPs are out-of-warranty since the warranty period and terms are so narrow.

If your PlayStation Portable is broken and out-of-warranty, get a repair quote from Console Repair Shop and find out about our competitive repair rates before paying Sony to do the same.
