Experience

More than replacing parts.

After refurbishing more than 4,000 iPods, MRG Studio approaches each device as a complete system. The generation, firmware, storage adapter, battery, enclosure, and symptoms all affect what will fit and what repair makes sense.

Since 2012

Long-term focus on full-sized iPod repair, restoration, customization, and compatibility.

4,000+ refurbished

Hands-on experience with recurring failures, modified devices, storage conversions, and model-specific differences.

Clear recommendations

Every mail-in request is personally reviewed before invoicing or shipping instructions are sent.

Teaching & recognition

Useful information builds trust before a repair.

MRG Studio publishes diagnostic and identification guides alongside concise YouTube walkthroughs. The goal is to help owners understand the problem—even when the right answer is not to purchase a service.
