March 30, 2007

Salinas, CA - Fastmac today announced the availability of LCD upgrades for Apple iPods with Video and the expansion of its "Just Say No To Crack" iPod LCD rehab program to include Apple's 2nd Generation iPod Video & Nano. The new upgrade offers LCD screens that are upto 60% brighter & rounds out Fastmac's LCD rehab program to include every iPod with a Dock Connector. The popular program offers repair and replacement of scratched or cracked iPod LCD screens, either as a Do It Yourself (DIY) kit with tools & instructional videos or via a same day mail order service provided by Fastmac directly. Fastmac's iPod LCD upgrade is available now, with special introductory pricing that starts at $59.95. Each screen carries a 1 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee .

Fastmac's LCD upgrade replaces the iPod's original display with a brand new LCD screen that is 60% brighter than the original LCD. In addition to being brighter, the new LCD screen is also more energy efficient, thereby lowering power consumption and improving battery life. Fastmac includes all necessary tools and instructions required to open the iPod, including a spare tool just in case the iPod needs to be re-opened in the future. 24-hour installation services are also available for an additional $39.95. Using a box in the mail service provided by DHL, Fastmac will pick up the customer's iPod, install the upgraded LCD screen and provide a thorough checkup & light cleaning before shipping back to the customer, all within 24 hours. During the upgrade & rehab process, Fastmac will diagnose any other problems that the iPod may be experiencing, and offer a free estimate for repair or upgrade, including battery & hard drive upgrades, or logic board repairs.

"My screen wasn't even cracked, just dim," said Edward Savio, President of Fastmac Performance Upgrades, Inc. "I changed out my LCD screen and feel like I've got a brand new iPod for about the price of a Shuffle."

Fastmac's LCD upgrade & rehab program can also be combined with a TruePower battery upgrade to obtain an almost new iPod. Fastmac's TruePower battery upgrades replace the iPod's original internal battery with a larger capacity and longer lasting advanced power cell battery. The upgrades offer 20- 78% more capacity than the original OEM battery and up to 7.5 times as many charge cycles.
