how do you charge an ipod if the charging part on ipod doesn't work ?
My ipod doesn't charge because connection part doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to fix it without spending money.
All you can do is try fixing the port by bending the contacts. I doubt you will be successful
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following will replace the connector for less. Google for more.
