In general, there are 2 basic types of iPod repair. These are the replacement of the battery and the repair of the touch-screen. You can either repair iPod yourself using a Do-It-Yourself Kit, or have a professional iPod technician to complete and guarantee the work for you. For those who feel comfortable poking around the inner circuitry of their iPod, a do-it-yourself iPod screen repair kit might be an option. Always make sure you check the warranty and its limitations before you decide to repair your iPod yourself.

To make your iPod last longer, you need to have it fixed by an expert technician in case of damage.

This is the most common problems you can get with your iPod :

Screen Problem

The leading cause of an iPod in need of repair is a broken or damaged LCD screen. Even though the iPod may still work with a cracked, scratched, or broken screen, this severely reduces the usability and aesthetic appeal. Apple considers a broken screen misuse or accidental damage. Apple's service repair page specifically states that "If your iPod's LCD display is cracked due to accidental damage, do not send your iPod in for service." The repair is not covered under the iPod's Limited Warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan.

Hard Drives Problem

The most costly repair is the hard drive. For whatever reason, these gadgets can stop working like normal. A hard drive upgrade or replacement may be needed.

Replacing iPod Batteries

Replacing iPod batteries may sound like an easy task especially when you consider the ease in changing the batteries of your mobile phone. However, when you change iPod battery, you need the help of a technician who knows how to open the gadget. The design of the iPod does not allow you to open it easily. If you do not utilize the right set of tools when you open your gadget, you will only cause more damage, so you must repair this with some expert.
