Dead pixel on my iPod Touch3g 64GB (still under warranty)

i read through the manual,and googled a lot ran some color changing test which said will fix it, but still i got a dead pixel (one single dot on left side of screen, its more prominent in a black background ) will Apple change/replace/repair/refuse my iPod ?

Ok, so i called up the store today,they asked me to contact the service center,the guy from service center said that they will look into it and if its not a water damage they will replace the lcd.(would take 6days) So i want to remove my data from my iPod Touch without deleting the data from my laptop iTunes. and i will also like to unlink my Apple id from iPod touch only(not the iTunes in computer) before i give it for repair. Will restoring it with iTunes help? or is there a different process? (and does restore requires internet?)

  • My ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen has been cracked for about 1month but the wifi has recently started to play up and wont work will apple cover this and give me a refurbished one whern i go to my appointment at the genius bar??

    my ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen cracked about 1 month ago and just yesterday my wifi on my ipod isw playing up and not working very well will apple give me a new one at my genius appointment?

    Very likely not.   A bvroken screen is not covered by the warranty. It also shows abuse aht voaid the warranty for the entire iPod.  Howecver, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise yu will have to pay $99, $149 or $%199 depending upon the capacity,

  • How do I know if my iPod Touch is still under warranty?

    I recently cracked my iPod Touch's screen and I need to know if it is still under warranty, as I bought it from Wal-Mart. It's a very minor crack, and the iPod still works perfectly, but any assistance will be taken with gratitude.

    Cracked screens are not covered. You will need to pay to have that fixed.

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.

  • My  ipod classic just stopped working.  Will not turn on, will not do anything.  Black screen.  It is still under warranty.  What do I do to get it fixed or replaced?

    My ipod classis just stopped working.  It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

    If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service. 
    iPod won't turn on
    If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage.  If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    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. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

    Philly_Phan,I am curious whay you said "If there is no sign of abuse,", a broken screen is almost always caused by abuse/accidental damage, and that is what the out-of-warranty exchange is for.
    A broken screen is an accident but it is not abuse.  However, if the owner attempts a repair him/herself, that's abuse.  Although unrelated to the damage, if the device has been jailbroken, that's also abuse.

  • My iPhone 4 ( still under warranty ) has a dead gyroscope. Will Apple replace my iPhone for free?

    I recently upgraded to IOS 7. Once I upgrade I noticed that the gyroscope in my phone was acting strange. Just recently it went completely dead. If I take my phone to the Apple store and they verify it as a hardware issue will they replace my iPhone? It is still under warranty. Also since Apple stopped making the iphone 4 will they give me a newer version? Thanks

    If  your warranty is still valid and there is no evidence of abuse (water damage, dropping, etc.) your phone will be replaced for free with the same model refurbished iPhone 4.

  • What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
    The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
    damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
    liquid damage
    disassembly
    unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
    unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • Do You Know Your iPod Battery May Fall Under Warranty Replacement?

    I have the extended warranty on my iPod Touch. My batter life was horrible... without wifi just playing music getting just over 3 hours. I also had a bad MBP battery. Called up AppleCare and got case numbers for both after diagnosis. Was taking a long drive to an Apple Store with Genus appt the next day...
    My name was called and my Genus re-ran the MBP battery check finding it at fault and went to replace it... I said that I was having an issue with the Touch battery as well. He said "You know that the battery is NOT covered under warranty!". I said NO, if a battery is faulty that it is covered under warranty. I told him that it was THE reason that I purchased the warranty... He argued with me about it and I just couldnt believe my ears... I said that all he had to do was go to the Apple site and find the Touch battery warranty description... He started printing out the MBP battery replacement agreement and we had another video test to run on the MBP... he went in the back to get a DVD.
    As I sat there I started hearing all the genus say to every customer with a iPod battery issue say that battery replacement cost blah blah blah... no one was asked if they had a warranty or that if the battery was found to be faulty the battery replacement would be covered. One guy came in with his son saying the iPod was a Christmas present and the battery was only getting blah blah hours... Again, he was told that a battery replacement would cost $$$. It was surely under warranty but he was still charged! ***?
    My Genus comes back and runs the video test with a Howdy Doody DVD, UGH... anyways... he goes back to return the DVD and comes back with something in his hand, unwraps a Touch and tosses it my way. I asked him what was up? He says that the original Touch battery is not replaceable so here was a new one. I said OK... thinking, why was he giving me one after arguing with me about the battery NOT being under warranty???
    So, I guess it pays off to know your warranty with Apple products as the Genus wont offer the facts. Maybe this was just at the Cleveland OH Apple Store. So, wondering if you know that your iPod battery may fall under warranty and if this is a national fraud by Genus?
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB591LL/A#overview "3. Service coverage is available for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification."

    According to this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, etc. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data. Please do not send any accessories with your iPod as they will not be returned.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Screen is broken...still under warranty?

    my screen cracked and i asked the tech guys about it. they said that they can repair it free of charge. so i click on the link they give me and it says i have to purchase their service. how to i get them to repair it for free? and it is still under warranty.

    look i know that there was some ipods that were
    having lcd issues and the screen was cracking inside
    instead of externally. that WAS covered by the
    warranty, or have u not read previous posts where it
    was covered. don't get all snotty with me in ur
    replies either. u Don't know everything
    That was a very very very small fraction of iPod nanos. I do not believe that iPods are still experiencing that.
    From this article...
    Our figures show this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 per cent of the total iPod nano units that we've shipped (as of that point--many months ago). I doubt that newer iPod nanos are having the same issue.
