HomePod Original homepod repair UK - no power

[TwoBytes]

I have an original homepod but it's dead Jim.

Does anyone know a place in the UK that services? Apple want £270 so it's cheaper to buy a new one


Thanks!

I’ve started to repair my own and it’s not as bad as it’s made out to be

We have four original HomePods here - two are still working as-new, but the other two will only work for a short period of time before they stop playing, or think they're playing but no sound comes out etc. I'll try mailing that guy in the UK unless anyone can suggest an alternative? I really don't want to admit defeat and just bin them, I think its also a bit poor of Apple to just wipe their hands of these given there seems to be a known issue with them.

Email Dwight from http://homepodrepairs.co.uk/ or https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/homepodrepairs.co.uk

UK based

Sent him mine, he sorted it out, it hasn't blown, sounds great and better parts then Apple so it won't blow again!

Is there any way to get in touch with Dwight other than email?

I only spoke to him by mail and he was responsive.

I only spoke to him by mail and he was responsive.

My HomePods were repaired and paid-for on the 23rd and have not been able to get a tracking number or any response to emails since then, so not sure what’s going on.

How strange. Try reaching out from another email possibly.I hope you get them!

I've left a review on TrustPilot asking for him to get in touch - I see someone else has had to do this too. I'll update the review and here if/when I hear back from him.

Dwight has made contact and the HomePods are due back today 👍🏻

I sent my OG HomePod to Dwight about a week ago and I haven’t heard anything from him yet despite Royal Mail tracking showing it’s delivered. There seems to be a fair few reviews out there that intimate he’s not the best at communicating but eventually comes through with the repair. Hoping that if I hold my nerve confirmation of the repair will come through soon! 😬
