Return it to Carphone Warehouse only they can really tell you the terms of the insurance.
To be honest though it is not an insurance repair, it should be covered under the standard UK 12 month warranty that you get on all goods purchased in the UK.
Insurance only covers damage, theft, loss etc not device failure.

Headphone jack broken, using dock connector instead?

So after dropping my iPod the other day the headphone jack is acting a little funky, I have to twist and fiddle with the headphones a little bit to get the sound to play in both ears nicely (It's not the headphones as I've tried with several pairs).
Since my warranty has expired I was hoping to use a dock connector I believe its called then connected to my headphones.
My questions are
1) Will this avoid the sound issue I'm having since I ASSUME it's an issue with just the headphone jack.
2)I'm looking at these two products
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35508-iPod-Compatible-Connector/dp/B000J022G6
http://www.yourusbcable.com/product/Ipod%20Dock%20Connector
which will then need another thing to connect to my headphones, can anyone think of a better way of or product for doing this?

I am also having problems with my headphone jack. if i can get best buy to validate my 2 yr warranty i can exchange, but in the meantime i ordered some bluetooth headphones. i bought these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/595037-REG/SonyDRBT100CX_BLU_DR_BT100CX_Bluetooth_WirelessStereo.html

Ipod dock connector broken, plz help!

my ipod charger port/dock connector is broken, some pins were bent.. ive mde an appointment with apple to get it fixed, but how much would it cost (without warrenty) and how long will it take?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

How to diagnose a broken 30 pin dock connector?

Is there a "diagnostic" application to determine if my Iphone 4 — 30 pin dock connector is fully functional? BTW - all lint and dirt has been removed (delicately). This iPhone has been able to perform TV/video out and mirror display with a (still) fully functional 30 pin to VGA connector, VGA cable and VGA equipped monitors. This phone currently cannot perform the same task. Only other variable is a conflict with iOS 6.1.3.
Thanks for any help.

Battery not charging after dock connector replacement, iPhone4

Hi all,
My iPhone4 suffered mild water damage (water damage indicator not triggered) and misbehaved on that day. So I turned off the device and put it in a bag of rice for almost a month. When I eventually took it out, it was almost as good as before except for some weird quirks. One of them is the audio control. I can listen to music using headphone jack, but cannot listen through speakers. I see some corrosion on my dock charger. I am still able to connect to iTunes and charge using cables. I know my speakers works as I am able to hear the phone ring. However increasing and decreasing volume shows only the ringer icon with no bars underneath. Upon searching online I found out (in another thread on this website) that the phone could believe it is connected to some kind of docking device. I tried cleaning the dock using a brush, but no use.
So I took some time and replaced the dock connector. After I finished re-assembly and turned on my phone, I noticed that my audio issue is resolved. I am now able to adjust volume using the buttons and can see the volume level (bars) go up or down. Also I can listen to the music from the speakers. However it is not syncing/charging.
Logically this can mean two likely issues (1) I have a faulty dock connector (2) I messed up my battery during disassembly (The battery flex connector was too tight and while I was removing it with the plastic spudger, it popped up suddenly and caused my spudger to go in a tad too far. My flex cable did not rip off and I didnt see any broken pieces, so I assumed nothing bad happened, but I am not sure).
If my dock connector is faulty, then my audio problem should not have been resolved correct? Because the logic board would not know that I have a new clean dock connector installed. This is what I am assuming, I am not sure. If some one could clarify this assumption, that would be great.
Of course this leads me to believe that I messed up my battery. I don't have a spare battery to try out, need to buy one.
Meanwhile I have a spare dock connector to try out. I am not sure if that is going to help. I am hoping someone in this community and say that it is obviously one problem or the other. If not, I will go through the dock connector replacement again and hope it all works out.
Also does anyone know if I can just plug in the new dock connector to the logic board and try syncing (of course with the battery connected) while my phone is still open (and the other components have not been removed)? This would seem like a nice quick test prior to going through the full repair. I am not sure if this is safe.
Thank you very much

iPhones are not user servicable. Apple does NOT sell iPhone parts. Any parts you can possibly get for them have one of three possiblie origins:
1) Counterfeit
2) Stolen
or
3) salvaged from other iPhones, almost always phones that don't work for one reason or another.
We can't advise you on how to fix your phone.
Apple won't touch that phone any more.
Either look for advice someplace like ifixit.com, find a competent repair shop, or dispose of it and buy a new phone.
EVERY single documented case of an iPhone catching fire or exploding can be traced directly to damage caused by a botched repair by an unqualified person.
Is it safe? No. Your phone is not safe. It will never be "safe" again.

No sound output from dock connector or headphones but speaker is fine

I've got a 3GS which I've had since October.
Recently, there has been no sound output from the headphone socket - or rather, what does come out is very strange, sounding almost electronically distorted.
I thought that maybe the headphone jack was broken, but now I've found out that the same thing can be heard through a dock when the iPod is connected this way.
I'm fairly sure the dock connector is still fine as the phone charges and can be controlled by the dock etc
Most of the discussions I've found relate to sound not coming from the speaker on the phone, but this is absolutely fine.
Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

Considering Purchasing a 160GB iPod Classic, Dock Connector compatibility

While I'm an enthusiastic supporter of Apple (using Windows occasionally does that) I feel that I have to investigate in more detail before purchasing than I did in the past. (iMovie 08.)
I presently own a 5th generation iPod (iPod Video). All of our vehicles have a Belkin Auto Dock Connector that connects to the iPod audio and power.
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=149006#
Under the dash the audio connects to an Aux input of the car radio. So this one connector allows the audio hook up to the cars radio and it also charges the iPod as well. I don't know all the details of the installation, it was done by a "high-end" (aren't they all?) car audio shop.
Does anyone have an opinion or actual knowledge as to the likelihood that the 160GB iPod Classic will work with this dock connector like my 5th Gen does?
Thanks

Well, the camera connector is NOT working. Belkin TunesTalk Stereo microphone is NOT working, too. Griffin iTrip IS working. So, my opinion is, Apple would have made changes in the classic connection which makes 2/3 of my connectors worthless. I'm disappointed about that, especially that they didn't care about the use of their own cam.-connector.
Take your car, try to get a parking spot near your local dealer and find out. Of course, Apple's not responsible for other producer's products - but who handed out the specs of the connector? And who is giving up them?

IPod (dock connector) Apple on screen - dead?

Okay, so I haven't used my ipod in oh, a year or so. It's been sitting in its dock, firewire plugged in, and I hadn't really noticed when it stopped showing up on the desktop. Today I pulled it out of the dock and saw it wouldn't do anything (go figure, I suddenly want to use it). The Apple is on the screen.
Checked the hold button.
Tried to reset it. Apple would flash off then back on, you can hear the drive making noise, but nothing ever happens.
Tried plugging it directly into power outlet and nothing new happened.
Any clue what may be wrong with it? Thought I'd try leaving it out of the dock and off power and see if the battery would drain and maybe powering it back up after that might fix it. If not, anyone got a clue what could be wrong with it and how much it might cost me to fix it?

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, such as “Partition Magic”.
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away, you can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Last Resort Level
1. Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
http://www.kokopellimusic.us/KM_instructions.htm
Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
Strange error on iPod (probably death)

No sound through dock connector

I have a 20GB 4G iPod I've been using in my car w/ a DICE unit. No problems until 2 days ago. I also have an iPhone so I've been testing it out w/ my existing accessories. I connected it to my DICE and it didn't work, no surprise. Then I reattached my 4G and it didn't work anymore.
I then tried the 4G in a universal dock that supports it. I used the line out to my stereo. No more sound. The headphone jack works fine and I can charge/sync it w/ my Mac and a power adapter. Seems something happened to the audio portion of the dock connector.
In order to rule out the DICE being broken, I took a Ziplinq dock to 3.5mm cable and connected it to the AUX input of my stereo. Still no sound.
I've reset the 4G about 10 times and no change. I haven't done a restore but now I'm wondering if the audio portion of the dock connector is simply broke. I can't imagine that a restore would fix this.

I've the same problem with my iPod 30GB.
When connecting my stereo through the headphone output it works fine. But with the iPod universal dock no sound....
I've reset and restored the iPod a couple of times. Without success.
Has anybody has a solution?

No Audio with Dock connector?

I've connected my iPhone to a Jam box I have with a dock connector and also to my car adaptor that uses a dock connector. Neither will produce audio. I can pause the music and advance to the next song, but the only sound comes from the iPhone. I thought it was supposed to be a standard iPod connector?

Reading around on the internet and here this is not a rare problem, but many people dont seem to be having it, so our iPhones are either defective, or need some kind of software jumpstart. I've been playing with mine all day and just can't get anything to come out of the line out at all.
There is something about plugging a non-iPhone known device for playback and it is supposed to offer to turn off the phone to stop you hearing the rf noise through the speakers (while I could not hear any audio, I COULD hear the noise of it through my car stereo) so perhaps this mechanism is just confused and not letting anything happen. I dont know, but I think that if nobody has sorted it out by monday I will be making a call to apple support about it. It's definitely not working right, and it's not just with 3rd party hardware, but with it's own dock. So it's not the other stuff that is all broken, it's the phone.

Replacing 1st Gen dock connector with 3rd Gen dock connector?

The dock connector on my 1st Gen iPod Touch has stopped working, and i have an old 3rd Gen iPod Touch lying around that appears to be broken beyond repair. Provided that a simple cleaning will not clear up the problem, will swapping the 3rd Gen's dock connector for the 1st Gen's be possible?
Since the male end of the cord is universal throughout models, i am assuming that the only problem might be to get the thing to fit.
But if any other potential problems may exist it would be helpful to know about them, before i take this thing apart.
I don't intend on spending any money on this iPod, as i am getting an iPhone as soon as possible. This is simply meant to be a temporary fix since i have no other portable music player at the moment.

The screws appear to be in the same place however, and the 3rd gen metal housing appears more compact than the 1st gen housing.
So there may be a spacing issue if you are trying to put the 1st gen into the 3rd gen, but not the other way around.
A potenial problem would be with the connections to the logic board. It would be helpful if anyone knows the specifics. Maybe i'll look up the company etched into the housing.
Thanks for the links by the way, they look useful if i it ends up working.
Edit: Actually, i have no clue what is holding the 1st gen's connector on. In the place of screws it appears they have some sort of pins. That may prove to be an issue

Replacing dock connector?

I have a 3g ipod. It's getting old I guess but it's not so bad. I just replaced the battery today so it should have a new life but I have a problem with my dock connector. It won't charge or sync anymore. I tried a different cable with no result so I'm sure it's a problem in the ipod itself. I think maybe if I could clean it out it might help but I don't know what to clean it with. Otherwise is there a way to replace broken connectors? I'm in China so nowhere near an Apple store. I tried searching around online but couldn't find anything. I know it is probably time to just put it to rest but I like nurturing old electronics back to life. Any advice would be useful. Thanks.

I ended up buying a new mainboard for it.

Problems with a dock connector?

I have a 40G 3rd Generation iPod. As far as I know it works fine: Connects to my computer, transfers songs, connects to my portable speaker set and plays fine. I am trying to use it with a 2006 Alpine with iPod support. It has a dock connector and when I plug ipod to it's dock connector it starts charging but leaves me in control of the ipod interface. The alpine just displays 'searching' and doesn't do anything. I know the alpine hardware is good as I plugged in a 4th generation ipod and it worked fine.
Is there anyway to test the dock connector on my ipod and make sure the pins being used by the alpine aren't broken? I was in diagnostic mode and the 5-1 test passed, but I didn't see anything that looked like it tested the pin out. Maybe the remote test when it is plugged into the alpine, but I don't know if that would work.
I suppose this is what we get when Apple doesn't control all the hardware. Oye! I just want this to work! I suppose I could sell the 3rd generation and get a 4th generation one, but that would be kind of lame and I'm sure a big loss on my part.
Anyone have any thoughts on testing the dock connector? I suppose I'll have to do a restore tonight, but I'm not looking forward to it!

Could there be something wrong with my 4S dock connector?

So a while ago my iPhone's usb cord stopped working, so I bought a new one of the same type. Then that one broke, but I found out it still charged when I plugged my iPhone in, although the lightning icon that appears next to my battery onscreen didn't appear and it charges extremely slowly (like maybe 20% an hour, 25% at best, and around 10% at its slowest - and this is when my phone is off.) One of my relatives found out the wires inside the usb cord were messed up or something, and something of the usb cord wasn't tight enough so if the cord got pulled too hard it would get mess up the cord's wires again and stop charging my phone. Even then, it still didn't charge like the way it did when I first got it (icon next to onscreen battery, quickly, etc.) Soon enough, the cord stopped working again and I got so tired with it I just decided to buy a whole different type one. Here is the link to it: https://www.opensky.com/3d-luxe/product/iphone-4-4s-cable-usb-charger-sync-cord- 10-feet-new-steel-design-strongest-cable-on-market
This time, the icon still doesn't appear, although it does charge fairly faster than my broken ones last time (it charges about 22% in half an hour now when my phone's off). Then I tried plugging the cord into my laptop, but the usual iTunes did not appear, and my laptop notified me that the device was not working properly, and if I plugged it back in again and it still doesn't work then there may be something wrong with my device. Now I'm really confused because this cord is brand new, so how could it not work? I'm certain my laptop is working perfectly fine, so the only two possibilities that I can think of now is either the dock connector is not working for some reason, or the usb cord is not working. I really doubt the usb cord is not working, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.
Please help me on this. I've only had an iPhone for 3 months and it's already having so many problems.

If you have only had the phone (from brand new) for 3 months, it is covered by the 1 year limited warranty. You should make an appointment at a genius bar to have the device examined.

IPhone dock connector and Wi-Fi syncing not working

Who's ready for a tough one?
I have an iPhone 5 which will not connect to any charger or computer through USB. I have tried more than one lightning cable. The iPhone will also not connect to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync which isn't surprising to me because it almost never works on any of my family's devices. The iPhone is at 2% battery right now so iCloud backup isn't an option.
Any ideas for me?
I have had 3 iPhone 5 devices on which the dock connector has broken. It's probably just programmed to do that after 2 years so a new device has to be bought. This is so frustrating because I have tried on 2 of them to replace the part only to have some part of the new thing not work... How about we make a dock connector that isn't so fragile or we at least make some way to manually connect an iOS device to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync via IP address or something?

Just to make sure I'm picking up what you're putting down. When you plug the device into a charger and wall adapter, it does not charge. And when you plug it into the computer it does not appear in iTunes?
