If your iPod has an unclear, intermittent or complex fault, this diagnostic service identifies the likely cause and provides a repair recommendation before further work is authorised.
Repair options
This service covers inspection, functional testing and a repair recommendation. No additional repair is carried out until the findings and quote have been approved.
Common symptoms
- The cause of the fault is not yet confirmed
- More than one component may be involved
- The device has an intermittent or complex fault
- A repair quote is needed after testing
What is included
The iPod is inspected and tested to identify the likely cause of the fault. We explain the findings and provide a repair recommendation before any additional work is carried out. Diagnosis is an assessment service rather than a completed repair, so no repair warranty applies.
Confirming your model
This listing is for the iPod. Check the model name in the device settings, on the original packaging or in the purchase records before booking.
Repair process and turnaround
Turnaround is confirmed after we inspect the device and check the required component. The device is tested before and after the repair, and we contact you if inspection shows that a different component is responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the iPod diagnosis service include?
We carry out a full technical assessment of your iPod, checking the logic board, storage, battery, and key components to identify the cause of the fault. At the end of the diagnosis we will give you a clear explanation of what is wrong and what the repair options are.
How long does the iPod diagnosis take?
Most iPod diagnoses are completed within the same day at our Liverpool Street workshop. Older iPod models may require more time depending on the complexity of the fault.
Will my music and data be safe during the diagnosis?
Yes. The diagnosis process does not alter or wipe your stored music, videos, or data. We inspect the hardware and run functional tests only.
What happens after the diagnosis?
We will explain our findings and give you a repair quote. You then decide whether to proceed. If you agree to the repair, the diagnosis fee is applied toward the total cost. You are not obligated to proceed.
Is there a charge if I decide not to repair the iPod?
The diagnosis fee is payable regardless of whether you proceed with a repair. If you choose to proceed, the fee is applied toward the cost of the repair. If you decide not to repair the device, the fee still applies for the time spent assessing it.
