Can I get my screen replaced if it cracks?

I recently dropped my iPod onto a soft floor at a weird angle, and it somehow cracked. Its a spiderweb crack, and everything still works perfectly, but the crack is bothering me, and I don't want to suddenly start losing pieces of the glass, or start breaking it more. I've looked up several articles about cracks on Apple electronics, but all I get are iPhone tips, and I'm not sure whether the same things apply. Can someone please suggest a cheap fix, or tell me if Apple can do it? Theres no warranty on it or anything so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks!

Apple will exchange yours for a refurbished one for this price:

    Can I get a screen replacement for free if i'm still under warranty?

    Not if it was caused by accidental damage. You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if they do screen replacement. If they do it is $149, if they can't it is $229 for an out-of-warranty replacement. If you bought AppleCare + it is a $49 deductible.

  • Dropped my iphone 5. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    Dropped my iphone 5. This is the replacement phone Apple gave me a month ago - the camera didn't work properly so they gave me this one. They told me it has a 90 day guarantee. Can I get the screen replaced for free?

    That is not a 90 day guaranrtee. It is a 90 warranty which only covers workmenship and materials not damage. So no. You are going to have to pay to get it replaced.

  • Can I get my screen replaced for free?

    At a New Years Eve party I was riding my little cousins Green Machine bike thing and I turned a corner and I had my iphone 4 in my front pocket and I turned a corner and it slipped out and hit the concrete ground. It has a shatter place at the top left corner on the white part on the front then it continues down to the home button,and across the top of the screen. I didn't have my Otter Box on it but I put it on after that happened. It covers up the shatter on my screen but thats pretty much it. I've been seeing people on here that has been getting there's replaced for free, so I was wondering if I could get my screen replaced. I don't have the Apple Care thing but I know that I have the Apples Warranty until December 16, 2012. Does anyone know if that covers getting my screen replaced for free or anything? I reallly need a new screen, I just don't want to spend a fortune on it! Please help!!!

    Warranty does not cover accidental damage and I  would rate your chance of a free replacement as close to zero
    Nobody can stop  you asking but don't be offended when they refuse
    You will likely be charged for a refurb replacement which in US as an example is $199 for a 4S and $149 for all other iPhones

  • Can I get my screen replaced in the apple store with my own screen?

    If I buy my own screen replacement for my iPhone 5S, and I bring it into the Apple Store, will they replace it for me in store?
    Also, can it be free since I bought the Screen?
    will it take more than a day?
    thanks

    @raama.srivatsan
    If you bought your on iphone screen and fixing it yourself would void the warranty.  Therefore, if you buy the screen and ask apple specialist to put it on, is basically the same things. Visit your nearest apple store pay for the repair and you should receive 90 days warranty with that repair (that doesn't include another accidental drop)... While you at the apple store, find a strong case to avoid any more damages.
    Cheers!

  • Can I get my screen replaced at the apple store?

    I dropped my phone and cracked my screen. Ive heard that you can have the screen replaced. Where and how can I have this done?

    Apple doesn't fix the screen, it replaces the phone.  You can bring your phone in to your nearest Apple Store, or call Apple Care and arrange to send your phone in to Apple.
    Since accidental damage is NOT covered by any manufacturer's warranty, you will pay $149.00 for an out of warranty replacement for any iPhone beside the 4S.  For the 4S, it's $199.00, unless you've purchased AppleCare+, in which case you'll pay $50.00

  • HT3302 Where can I get a screen replaced for the new ipad?

    Do apple repair screens for the new ipad?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but if the screen has been damaged due to accident will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    This is the iPod touch forum, by the way.
    Regards.

  • I can I get a screen replacement for free

    Hi I just got my ipad 2 screen broken accidentally and I need help. I just got it 3 weeks ago so the warranty should cover this. Can anyone help me?

    I was in a similiar circumstance this week.  I accidentally dropped my two week old ipad2.  My gf bought it for me for my birthday.  I called my nearest apple store all upset about it.  They booked an appt with me that same day to look at it.
    I arrived at the store again very upset and beside myself that I broke this very expensive gift that I absolutely love.
    "paul" at the store was phenominal.  He could definitely see how upset i was. 
    he explained that this kind of damage is definitely not covered under warranty.  And that the repair bill would be 259.00.  i knew I could not afford that right now, he proceeded to tell me its ok, you have caught me in a very good mood.  And he believed in Karma.  He replaced my ipad2 free of charge. :-)  WOW that is customer service!!!

  • MY SCREEN HAS DARKER AREA ON DOWN-LEFT AND UP-RIGHT CORNERS, CAN I GET MY SCREEN REPLACED?

    the cernter part is obvious brighter and im using the safari about:blank to show a whole white screen. can i bring my computer to the genius bar and request a replacement of the screen?
    btw, mine is the 13-inch retina pro bought in october so it should stil be under warrenty.

    Correct. I have seen a lot of iMacs with the same problem, but it's less common in MacBooks Pro. You can take the picture to an Apple Store, even I see it clearly.
    As your computer is in warranty, there's a smaller probability that Apple refuses to repair your computer, but it might happen

  • Can i get my screen replaced if its under warranty

    my iphone 5s screen is cracked.. my phone is still under warrenty it says.. will i be able to get it replaced for free then? please help!

    No. Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty. You will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

  • 15in early 2011 MBP, Can I get the screen replaced w Hi-res Antiglare?

    I have a 15 Macbook pro early 2011.  I was wondering if apple could replace the current screen with the hi-res antiglare screen.

    It'll cost the same amount of money as your computer did at first. If you just got your MBP (and you bought it directly from Apple via a store or online) go exchange it.

  • Can I get my screen replaced?

    any idea how much it would be at apple?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

    They do not repair individual iPods.

  • My external monitor works but I can't get my screen to work on my power book anymore

    Can not get my screen on power book G4 to work but my external monitor works fine. Did I press something and turn it off?

    rm44 wrote:
    The both screens always worked fine but now the power book doesn't show anything on the screen.  I didn't drop it or even move it.  Where is the brightness button?  Could I have hit it by mistake?
    Thanks so much for your help.
    F2 is the up-brightness button, F1 is the down-brightness button, usually, on PowerBooks.  If for some reason the F1 button got held down for a couple of seconds, the display would go completely dark.
    That being said, if the backlight does not come up (easily determined by seeing if the Apple outline on the cover is lit up) then the most likely suspect would be the inverter board, or the connection to the inverter board.  If this is a Titanium PG G4, the inverter board is easy and relatively inexpensive to replace.  For the Aluminum models, I don't know if that is quite so true.
