Will apple fix or replace my iPod touch 4th gen??

Help the home and power buttons on my iPod touch are no longer working. I didn't drop it or anything they were literally working one second and broken the next. Also sound is no longer working while playing videos, music apps etc. have already reset the iPod 3 or 4 times and still nothing. There is no screen damage whatsoever apart from a few broken pixels and no liquid damage either. Have had my iPod for nearly 2 years so warranty is expired, just wondering would apple offer to repair or replace it seeing as I cause any great damage to it??

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.4

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken


Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.


ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.


You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:


Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
