You love your iPod, we all do, but what if something happens and your iPod breaks? Your first thought is’Oh my word, I won’t possibly exist without my iPod!’ Well that might be my first thought anyhow.
let’s imagine the iPod dropped from your pocket while you were jogging and broke into one thousand tiny pieces ; no brainer, time to get a new iPod. Let’s say your iPod just started acting bizarre and ceased working, or it fell into the water but you got it out quickly so it could not potentially have gotten all that wet. And, naturally, this all occurs after the warranty on the iPod ends.
Just in case you perhaps damage your iPod right after you get it, Apple provides free one year from date of purchase guaranty on iPods. The warranty does not include damages caused by accident, liquid damage, disassembly or unapproved 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 two years from the date of purchase.
Great, but my iPod is outside the guaranty or extended guaranty date, or is damaged by an implies makes it exempted from the guaranty. So, what to do? I might be thinking it could be worth looking into getting my damaged iPod repaired instead of heading out and buying a newer one. As everyone knows, we adore them but they are not cheap.
A quick Google search will find many web sites saying they may cheerfully fix your damaged iPod for you. OK, let’s think about this what is the actually damage to the iPod and is it worth purchasing a new Ipod or getting the damaged iPod repaired? Repairing Your IPod
