You dropped your iPod, camera or cell phone in water? I can fix it!!!! - $40 (santa rosa)

In a water immersion case, the important thing is getting it to an expert to correct the problem right away.

I only charge $40 ($60 for a Touch model, phone or camera) to restore your iPod though it may take hours to pull it off. My friends all know I like a 'realistic' challenge.

As of February 15th 2009 I am 638 successes and 71 fatalities at "dropped in water", put "through the washing machine", "went into the hot tub", "forgot I was using it and went in the pool with it on", "bent over a pot of soup and it slipped out of my pocket" (chef), "got doused in chloraseptic", "my bottle of sparkling water blew up in my gym bag", "my daughter dropped it in the toilet" problems. Call me to discuss what has happened to yours..... I'll bet I've heard it before and have brought an iPod back from that disaster.

Even when I can't fix it, people appreciate what I do

This is a message that one of my customers sent. I wasn't able to fix his iPod. He lost it in a raging river after a big storm while bunny hopping rocks in the river on his Mountain Bike to get across. Three weeks later he found it at the bottom of the now subsided river.

" Hi,

I sent you my waterlogged Ipod back in October. It had been laying on the bottom of a river for three weeks, the result of a bike crash.

Even though you weren't able to salvage it (I think you said it had three or four fatal errors), I just wanted to say that the $40 that I spent to see if it was at all repairable was probably the best $40 I spent last year. It answered all of the questions of "What if it can be repaired or the data recovered" and the answers were provided by someone who knew what they were doing. It wasn't me fumbling around trying to pry open the ipod and figuring out what to do next. Getting the ipod pieces back with the $20 bill was just an added bonus.

I'm not sure how many people thank you when you can't repair an iPod, but I wanted to say that I was glad I found your website on the internet. Hopefully I don't need your services again, but if I do, I'll definately be a repeat customer.

Just an FYI...Over the holidays, my brother-in-law mentioned that his iPod has a cracked LCD screen, and I passed your contact information on to him with my endorsement.
