Before Coming In For iPod or iPhone Service

  • Make notes about the problem(s) you are having. When problems occur, write a note with the time, what you were doing on the device, and exactly what happened (error messages, odd sounds, restarts, etc.)
  • Check your device's warranty status through Apple's website. If your iPod or iPhone is still covered under warranty, you must go through Apple for warranty repairs. If Apple will not cover it under warranty, Tekserve can perform non-warranty repairs.
  • Verify that you have the data (music, photos, applications, etc.) stored on your device backed up (if you can). The music that you loaded onto your iPod should be stored on your computer. If you no longer have the files that were loaded onto your device, Tekserve can usually back them up for an additional charge (before repairs that require the iPod to be erased.)
  • Try the iPod 5Rs troubleshooting steps to conquer many iPod problems at home. At www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs you can get step-by-step instructions on resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling, and restoring your iPod & iTunes. If these steps don't resolve your iPod problems, it's time to come into Tekserve for a repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click on a question below to view in full:

How can I check the warranty status of my iPod, iPhone, or iPad?

You can check your warranty status with your iPod's serial number at http://www.apple.com/support/oss. If you aren't sure how to find your serial number see this Apple support article.

How long will it take to fix my iPod?

Some repairs are done while-you-wait, while others may take 1-2 business days depending on the part and availability. We'll give you an estimated completion date for your repair when you come in. Most iPhone repairs can be completed in one business day if we have the part in stock. Email ipodrepair@tekserve.com to check on the current turn around time for any repair.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. Our repairs come with a 90-day warranty that covers the part that we replaced and installation.

Is my iPod, iPhone, or iPad worth fixing?

There is no one good answer. We don't recommend repairs on older devices or those with multiple problems. Bring your device in and we'll have a look at it. If a repair makes sense, we'll give you a free estimate. If you choose not to fix it, we offer a 10% discount on the purchase of a new iPod when you recycle your old one.

My iPod, iPhone, or iPad got soaked and now won't turn on. Is it a lost cause?

It probably is. On the bright side, it still qualifies for a 10% discount on the purchase of a new iPod.

Where do you get parts?

For iPod:

Some parts like batteries and most hard drive replacements are new, other parts are recycled or refurbished. All parts come with our 90-day parts & labor warranty.

For iPhone:

All parts are from Apple and are covered by Apple's standard 90 day warranty.

For iPad:

Parts are replaced by Apple at their repair facility and are covered by Apple's standard 90 day warranty.

Do you sell parts?

No. We have no control over the skill level of the installer or of the diagnosis. This often results in further damage, frequent returns, and unhappy customers.
