You love your iPod, we all do, but what if something happens and your iPod breaks? Your first thought is’Oh my God, I can’t possibly live without my iPod!’ Well that might be my first thought anyway.

Let’s say the iPod slipped from your pocket while you were jogging and broke into 1,000 small pieces ; no-brainer, time to get a new iPod. Let’s say your iPod just started acting weird and ceased to work, or it slid into the water but you got it out quickly so it couldn’t most likely have got all that wet. And, naturally, this all occurs after the warranty on the iPod ends.

Just in case you perhaps injure your iPod shortly after you buy it, Apple provides free one year from date of purchase warranty on iPods. The warranty does not include damages due to accident, liquid damage, disassembly or unauthorized service or modifications. So fundamentally only if your iPod stops working for some unknown reason is it covered by Apple. They also offer, for an additional fee, and extended warranty plan that extends to two years from the date of purchase.

Great, but my iPod is outside the warranty or extended warranty date, or is damaged by a suggests that makes it excused from the warranty. So, what to do? I might be thinking it might be worth looking into getting my damaged iPod corrected rather than heading out and buying a newer one. As we all know, we like them but they’re not inexpensive.

A quick Google search will find several internet sites asserting they may cheerfully fix your damaged iPod for you. Okay, let’s think about this what is the actually damage to the iPod and is it worth buying a new Ipod or getting the damaged iPod repaired? Repair IPod

You dropped the iPod and the screen is cracked. You find a site where a company asserts they can replace your screen. O.K, this is worth looking into ; it’s got to be less expensive than replacing the iPod. Repair IPod

Your iPod battery is going running out of juice faster and faster. Makes perfect sense that you’d need a new battery. O.K, this is worth looking into ; again, it should be less expensive than replacing the iPod.

If you are only getting sound from one ear bud, it might be a damaged headphone jack. Again, makes sense it’d be less expensive to replace a headphone jack than replacing the iPod. Repair IPod

Your iPod absolutely died. It didn’t fall in the water. It didn’t hit the floor. But it is dead, not a good indication. It might be that the drive died, and it might just be time to bury it and go to the store for a newer one. But some folks do not give up all that simply. If you want a diagnosis of death, or apostmortem to find out why your iPod died, or are perhaps curious about learning whether a transplant that would bring your iPod back to life, there are websites that say they can perform these services for you.
