How much does it cost to replace my ipod's cracked screen? (2nd generation)

I recently dropped my ipod touch and it had a large crack down the middle of the screen. I ordered a screen online but it didn't fit so now my ipod doesn't have a screen. Will apple fit a screen for me and if so, how much will they charge?

Apple will not do a repair on your specific unit. They have a flat charge for which they will replace the iPod. You can find pricing here:

But if the iPod is in pieces, they probably will refuse service. Put the iPod back together and take it to an Apple Store. Otherwise, you can look for third-party repair services who might be less expensive.

My son recently left his 2nd gen. out all night in the rain storm. Needless to say, we tried to dry it out with rice. That didn't work. It won't do anything. I'll called apple store in des moines and they said that they have an out of warranty replacement program. For $99 they will swap his broken one for a refurbished 2nd gen. You can also buy a refurbished fourth gen. for $199 plus or minus a couple of bucks. All their refurbs. come with a one year warranty. so next week when we are in des moines, we are going to the store to swap out. if you're going to the store, make sure you call and make an appointment at the genius bar, otherwise you'll wait for hours.



hope this helps
