Bring your old iPod back from the dead with iShopRepair

September 30, 2008 · Print This Article

Yeah, I love to look cool whipping out my iPod at parties, or looking up directions on my iPhone. But as soon as the battery goes out or the screen breaks, your favorite mobile device can become nothing but a sad, expensive — and potentially toxic — paperweight. Well, now you can send those old trusty Mac devices that have outlived their 1 year limited warranty to a company that will reincarnate them for a fraction of the price of buying a replacement.

iShopRepair.ca is a new business out of Toronto that

recycles your broken iPods, keeping them out of the landfill by either fixing or buying them to recycling the parts. Just go to their website and choose your device, send it in and get a free quote. iShopRepair is an eco-friendly company and is focused on keeping toxic materials — present in some generations of iPods/iPhones — out of the landfill.

If you’ve got a once loved, now deceased iPod sitting in your closet, why not send it to that cute blond nurse? Seems like it’s worth a shot.
