broken ipod

Question

broken ipod

can someone give me like any details about the whole upgrading ipod minis to like a 30GB ipod, besides paying the difference?
like let's say the ipod is broke because the screen leaked [don't ask how], would the retailers still take it and upgrade? or do you have to pay for a replacement?

thanks

You cannot just pay the difference. You can give Apple your old iPod and buy a new one the same day for 10% off in an Apple store, or you could try selling your old iPod on eBay.

That is an excellent question. I would think so, but I really do not know.

It doesn't you a penny.
As stated, if you take it to an Apple store, you will get 10% off the price of a new iPod.
If you want to purchase a new $399 iPod and you give them your Mini, you will save $40.

You don't "upgrade" an iPod.
You purchase a new one and get rid of your old one however you want. You can save 10% at Apple by turning it in, sell it on eBay, give it to a friend or throw it away.

Hi Chris,

I believe it is polite to let the person contact me if they are interested at all, instead of an unknown email and address in their inbox. Spam filters may also block a message.

The other reason I posted instead of emailing is because this is how I have seen other members act in the past. I was basing my actions off of their example.

Ok here's my dilema. My Dad bought me an ipod for Christmas of 2004. That first ipod I recieved lasted for about three months then the hard drive fried on that one. Because it was still under warranty I sent it to apple and recieved another one. This new ipod lasted for about another three months and then it's hard drive also fried. Since that one was still under warranty I recieved another new ipod. Now the current one I have has lasted from about August of 2005 and just recently had a hard drive failure in about late May or early Juny of 2006. I am now out of Apple's one year warranty and have no other warienties from any other stores. Is there absolutley anything I can do?
