iPod charger hole broken!

Question

iPod charger hole broken!

Please help!

My ipod was charging and it fell and the charger was pulled out and it knocked out a piece of black plastic from inside of the hole that you put the charger into. I think this is there to make the chord go into the right place. The tiny pieces of wiere inside the hole that connect the iPod to the chord were pushed in the next time I tried to charge my ipod and now it just wont charge on any chord. All of the chords I used I tried on my brothers ipod and they worked perfectly so its a problem with my ipod. What should I do? I dont have the money to buy a new one! I'd apreciate any help.

Thank you.

iPod touch, iOS 4.3.3

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like this one might be able to replace the connector. You have to call them since that repair is not specifically listed. Google for more places.

Thank you.

Will they send out a new ipod or just repair my one?

And how long will it take, roughly?

If you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store you should be able to walk out with the replacement. For mail in see:
