HomePod Brick Issue

I have the opportunity to buy a HomePod that has been bricked it has the stickers and box and everything that came with it...I read online that these can be fixed by sending them to Apple for replacement, do you need to provide a proof of purchase or will they simply replace what ever comes in? Any response is much appreciated thank you

HomePod is dead My HomePod is dead. I did try all of the suggested saving procedure to no avail. Went to the Genius Bar and I was offered a “replacement” for AU$382! Spoken to support and they called me back with a refusal to do anything about the issue. Pretty disappointed in Apple and their support. The fact as I was told by the Genius Bar is that the unit cannot be repaired and only replaced. This was never made clear when buying the unit and if this is the case, it should be an issue that Apple should consider. I cannot imagine buying a car that breaks down and having the dealer tell me that you need to buy a new one as it cannot be repaired! I have been a loyal Apple customer since the early 1980’s and I am really disappointed.

HomePod (2018) Replacement Hi, I have a HomePod (2018) that is no longer working. It is most likely a hardware issue and will need to be replaced. My questions are: Is Apple still fixing/replacing HomePods (2018) since the discontinuation? How long will they continue repairs & service (assuming consumer law comes into play here?). -- UK Thanks

Stuck with a defective Apple Product!!?? Purchased 4 HomePod minis in February that just do not work. Called Apple Support to complain, did resets, firmware update, everything.

See HomePod Repair - Official Apple Support. Apple don't replace bricked HomePods for free.
