iPod repairs

Lally

Does anyone know how I go about getting an iPod repaired? Does it have to be posted away anywhere? Im in Glasgow. Also, a rough estimation of cost would be good, thanks!

If it is still within the 12 months warrenty Apple should repair it free of charge but if out of warrenty I think they offer a repair service but you would have to email or phone them for a cost

which ipod is it and whats wrong with it i'll give u a quote on it,. but i dont repair ipod no more,. i can just give u a quote,.. what i learned when repiaring them was the price drops every 4 months or so like if u got a 20gig ipod too repair the lcd would be about 70£ its better too just go buy a 1/2gig nano now,. and sell the faulty ipod on ebay,..

if the Harddrives is messed up then u might aswell shoot it now

It is the U2 special edition, 20g. Well out of warranty. The bottom button on the wheel will not press in.

Hi, I'm no expert but I thought my iPod was dead as a dodo but I used http://www.ipod-repair.co.uk and it was far more cost effective to repair my existing iPod than to go out and buy a new one. They're not based in Glasgow - I think it was down near Manchester way. Oh and if you mention my name if you contact them - they send me some itunes vouchers! (cool referral scheme they have!) Cheers!

Lally >> that faulty sounds simple i would just open it up and have a look at it,. seems like somethings just not clicking if a lil part is broken u may be able to ojust do a lil repair ,.. but that really all depends on you,.. if u take it too a repair place they just might milk u,. it might just need a clean ??

StephenG >> u made 3 posts about ipods and links the same url,. ???? :T

Justpaper - what some folk do for some free vouchers eh?!! No, honestly - I didnt feel confident of opening my ipod up - but if you're techie minded, I'm sure its worth it.
