Broken iPod Video Screen!!! :-(

So my screen is broken! Will apple cover it or do I have to pay to get it repaired?
I think i might have sat on it to make it break or something else might of happened.

Broken screen seems to never be covered by Apple. Termed misuse and will be out of your pocket. Cost to repair accounts for close to half if not more the total cost of the IPOD.

Can I get music off of a broken iPod Video, 30GB?

This isn't detrimental, I have an iPhone as well as an iPod touch and have all the music I need. But I found my broken iPod video today, and it hasn't worked for a few years. I dropped it about three and a half years ago, cracked the screen, and ever since it's been fudged up. If I plug it in, it'll try and start up, then shut itself down, so it's *trying* to work.
I'm simply curious to see what music was on there, so it's not a big deal if it's not possible. I know I had over three thousand songs on there, and they're all bound to be terrible, but it's fun and also horrifying to look back on my previous taste in music.
If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, let me know, but like I said, not in a panic, not taking it to be repaired or anything.
I'm not sure if it's called the iPod classic, by the way, but this is the iPod I'm talking about. http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/ipod-2-091206.jpg
I don't think the iPod's coming up on my computer. I just plugged it in, and this is my old crappy computer since my PC decided to crap out, but there's no sign of it being recognized so I'm assuming it's probably a lost cause, but oh well.

The only suggestion I have is to try and force the iPod into Disk Mode.

Cracked iPod video screen

I've bought my son iPod video 30G last Christmas. Yesterday he found iPod screen cracked and not working. He said he didn't do anything but keeping it in his backpack. I took it to "Smart" bar at the store where I bought it and got the worst experience. The "Smart" guy in that store kept saying about the limited warranty which does not cover the damage done by abuse and offering best option like recycling the four-month old iPod 30Gig and geting 10% discout for new purchase. He said it even cannot be repaired. Does it make any sense to anybody??
I've searched online and found there are tons of complains about fragile iPod video screen and Apple hasn't done anything about this inherent defect yet. Let me ask Apple company the question. Is it really only the user's fault? Is it fair to blame the customers only and even refusing the repair? I guess you should have clearly posted the statement like "the screen is extremely fragile, so please put it in hard-shell case not to break it" in the user manual.
So, good lesson, everyone. Don't waste your $300 for this poor material.

trust me if ipod screens were really that fragile i'd have broken one by now.
I like have the worst care for electronics ever.
let's see i've had three ipod's. my mom said she'd buy me a new one if i'd let her have my old one. that one still works. the next one suffered a corrupted harddrive. and my third one still works. it had better i only got it christmas.
anyway, at multiple times i have sat on dropped and banged against things each one of these ipods.
trust me if ipod screens were really that fragile i'd have broken one by now.
I did have a theory about this though. the accidental breaking.
this depends on the supposed idea that the front cover of the ipod is a layer of glass and one of plastic.
there may be a thin layer of air or moisture trapped between the two layers and when moved from intense cold to heat. the air or moisture expands and causes the material to break.
note the last science class i took was high school chem and i got a D. so no you can't take this to the bank, probably.
and that class was probably graded on a curve.

Will apple know if my ipod was jailbroken before even though i restored it. Do they even pay attenion to it if they are repairing a broken ipod touch screen??

I don't think so. Did you do a DFU mode restore, which removes all software/firmware. Apple though does have it's reason, it can make viruses easy to get ya cuz once u jailbreak, all security holes r open cuz I heard that jailbreakers do that so they can modify software to change the UI, and the iPod has to let the code be modified, so anybody can add malware to ur iPod and it would think it as normal code. Plus ur iPod could go into a inoperatable state. But, no if u restore I think you will be fine.

Ipod video screen discoloration?

im not sure if this is normal or not so im checking. i have a 5g 30g ipod video. when i hold the screen at a slight angle, i see a big rainbow colored spot. when you look head on you dont see it but then if you angle it slightly it catches your eye. its actually bugs you after a while. the spot is in the bottom middle half of the screen. A defect maybe? does anyone else know anything about this???

SCRATCHED MY IPOD VIDEO SCREEN..HOW TO FIX?!

I've just purchased a 30gb ipod video, along with a skin. While i was putting on the skin, it roughly damaged the screen and scratched it. I am very dissapointed for the screen is suppose to prevent scratches, but while putting it on. It actually created a big scratch and smudges on it. And it is quite unbearable to watch videos with it. Does anyone know how to remove, or if the apple warranty covers it?

I have had success removing scratches with Brasso and a cotton ball. It takes a bit of effort. Wait until the Brasso dries then wipe it off with a face cloth, then buff with a microfine cloth.

30GB iPod Video Screen Replacement

I have a fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and it's really scratched up.
It's weird because it was in a hard case and they both got scratched, but it's like it was with sandpaper...well that doesn't matter.
Ok, so it's scratched a was on eBay looking at iPod accesories (cheaper there) and there were these iPod screen replacements that came with a tool and manual too. It's $15 so I was gonna get it but does anyone know if that's just junk and if it will mess up my iPod because now I can only watch videos when I'm in a dim room. It's really annoying and I need someone's help. Thanks! ^_^

no, i never broke my LCD screen but i had a friend that broke her nano and she sent it here and got it back with no problems..just a new LCD screen!

Place to fix iPod video screen bleeding?

Hi. I had dropped my iPod video, which resulted in the screen bleeding. I called up Apple, but it wasn't covered under the warranty. Does anyone know of a website or store that would be able to fix this? Thanks.

IPod Video Screen tint

Just bought two identical iPod videos. One unit has a noticable difference in the tint of the screen when next to the other--especially in the white areas. It has a "browner" hue than the other. Has anyone else noticed this? I might have to return the unit for a replacement.

Will apple fix a broken ipod touch screen

my friend smashed his ipod touch screen and its completly broken he bought it from futureshop and his dad threw out the recept but he got it a month ago will apple fix it?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price unless:
An iPod that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. For example, an iPod that has failed due to accidental damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for Out-of-Warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.
. They do not fix yours.

Black line on my ipod video screen

hey im having problems with the screen of my ipod video, it has a black line in the middle of it and it is very strange, i stays when i try to see videos.

I posted this response to you in another thread that you mentioned this in. Out of curiosity, if this began months ago why didn't you contact Apple about it? At that time it probably would have been a little more feasible to believe that it was something that randomnly occured rather than some sort or "human" caused screen damage.
Sounds like your screen sustained some sort of damage (similar to what would happen if your LCD screen cracked). This could have happened in different ways. If you carry it in your pocket or in a bag/purse and something heavy put pressure on it...the screen itself may not have any physical cracks. You can try and see if Apple will cover that under warranty but I wouldn't hold my breath. It doesn't seem like something that would easily occur by itself like a product defect. How long have you had your iPod and when did this occur?
