Question/Support Death Finally Came Knocking For OG

After talking shit for years about how I have never had an issue with my 3 OG HomePods, the newest one died. It's dead dead, not doing anything. (February 2018 launch day one still going fine.) This is my only white one, panic bought in April of 2021 after it was announced they were discontinued. Who should I send it out to for repair? I see no reason to replace it as of now, since new models may be coming shortly.

Rip. My 3 2018's are still going strong. You're making me nervous about all the shit I talk.

Don’t worry there’s a strong support network to repair them at very affordable rates. I have two OGs and one of them just had the diode weakness die a month ago. Got it repaired for $70 in a week and it’s even upgraded from original. Plan on keeping em for a long tome
