In case you still want them repaired, there's a guy online (Nic's Fix) who runs a mail-in $60 repair business for dead first gen HomePods.


He even live streams fixing them.

Here is a video, more on his channel

And I think it works out to about $80 once you include shipping. Ive got a dead one right now - trying to decide if I want to source air gun to fix it myself or just send it to him. Less than $100 to have it fixed is kind of a steal.


Very helpful y’all, thanks! Gonna see if I feel up to tackling the repair (good excuse to buy a reflow setup) and or get in touch with this gentleman. Cheers!
