Want to Repair your iPod? Anyone?
Techtree News Staff, Nov 01, 2006 1336 hrs ISTA man from 'aamchee Mumbai' one Harjeet Arora, owner of "Gadget Boy" claims to be able to repair all kinds of Apple iPods.
iPod owners take heart! A man from 'aamchee Mumbai' claims to be able to repair all Apple iPods...
And, what's more, the man, one Harjeet Arora, owner of "Gadget Boy", claims to be the only person in the country to be able to do so...
But, what led Arora into a job like repairing iPods? Arora, who sells iPods and MP3 players at his store, says he was getting so many customers coming back to him with complaints about their iPods not working, who were then going ahead and buying new iPods that he felt the need to venture into this territory.
And, that's not all Arora reveals, he endeavored, and got to learn the 'true' technique of assembling and repairing iPods from a Canada-based manufacturer of replacement batteries.
In Arora's words, "Carrying out repairs of iPods is a very difficult task. iPods, by virtue, contain numerous hair-thin wires, circuit boards, and strips, and any mistake during opening them could cause irreparable damage."
So committed is Arora to the task at hand that he has actually created a small dust-free studio within his apartment, where he sits and repairs the worn-out iPods.
Amazingly, Arora has been repairing iPods for the past two months almost. He says that in the beginning, no one was ready to even believe that an iPod could be repaired, but that now it's a different scene altogether, what with him repairing nearly 5 to 10 iPods everyday.
Further, Arora's keen sense of enterprise has led him to start an alternative practice; that of exchanging non functional iPods for new ones, after deducting the amount from the price of the new iPod, or returning an amount of Rs 1,500 to the customer.
No wonder, Arora is in top form. He says, not only does he repair iPods but that he has started repairs of gizmos such as Palmphone's Treo 650 and the PlayStation Portable (PSP), with the very near possibility of taking on repairs of Microsoft's Xbox 360.
And, while the man is full of praise for Apple Computer and the impeccable quality of its iPods, he does not hesitate to disclose an interesting detail. He says that recently, some people from Apple came visiting his shop, trying to dissuade him from advertising his services. He adds with a distinct air of secrecy that he later got an anonymous call asking him to explain how he goes about repairing iPods...
