You love your iPod, we all do, but what if something happens and your iPod breaks? Your first thought is'Oh my God, I won't most likely live without my iPod!' Well that may be my first thought anyway.
shall we say the iPod dropped from your pocket while you were jogging and broke into a thousand small pieces ; no-brainer, time to get a new iPod. Let's say your iPod just started acting strange and stopped working, or it fell into the water but you got it out quickly so it couldn't possibly have got all that wet. And, of course, this all occurs after the warranty on the iPod ends.
Just in case you perchance damage your iPod right after you purchase it, Apple provides free one year from date of purchase guaranty on iPods. The guaranty does not include damages due to accident, liquid damage, disassembly or unauthorized service or modifications. So essentially only if your iPod stops working for some unknown reason is it covered by Apple. They also offer, for a further fee, and extended guaranty plan that extends to 2 years from the date of purchase.
Great, but my iPod is beyond the guaranty or extended guaranty date, or is damaged by a means that makes it exempt from the guaranty. So, what to do? I would be thinking it may be worth looking into getting my damaged iPod corrected instead of heading out and buying a newer one. As everyone knows, we love them but they aren't inexpensive.
A fast Google search will find several web sites saying they can cheerfully fix your broken iPod for you. O.K, let's think about this what is the actually damage to the iPod and is it worth purchasing a new Ipod or getting the broken iPod repaired?
You dropped the iPod and the screen is cracked. You find a website where a company says they can replace your screen. OK, this is worth looking into ; it's got to be less expensive than replacing the iPod.
Your iPod battery is going running out of juice faster and quicker. Is sensible that you would 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 may be a damaged headphone jack. Again, makes sense it would be cheaper to replace a headphone jack than replacing the iPod.
Your iPod fully died. It didn't fall in the water. It did not hit the floor. But it is dead, not a good sign. It may be that the hard drive died, and it might just be time to bury it and go to the store for another one. But some folks never give up all that easily. If you want a diagnosis of death, or an autopsy to find out why your iPod died, or are maybe interested by learning whether a transplant that would bring your iPod back to life, there are web sites that say they can perform these services for you.
