Help, I have a broken screen, what do I do

My daughter has broke her screen on her 4th generation iPod touch.  This is a first for me.  Will Apple repair the screen if we send it in?  It was her fault it broke of course, and I don't want to waste money sending it in if they will not fix it. 

They will not fix it. What they do is charge you an 'out of warranty repair' fee to exchange your broken iPod for a refurbished one. The cost starts at $99 and goes up, depending on the model you have.
There are some third party places that will repair your screen, the success rate seems to vary and using them will void any remainder of your manufacturer's warranty.

    What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

    One thing to bear in mind, if your iPad is still under any sort of warranty, using any unauthorized repair place may void that.
    So you may find less expensive places that are non-authorized, but once you use them, Apple disowns your device and if you have any warranty left, it'll be void.

  • Have a broken screen, can I hook up external

    Hi guys, I have a broken screen, is there anywhere if I hooked it up with a external screen. Like I tried hooking it up to my tv but basically the tv was a seperate screen in itself and wasn't apple to see the login propt screen. My screen is so bad I can't see hardly anything, just lines ands tuff, any hope here to still use it with a external. Also is it possible to put another computer of the drive of the powerbook. Thanks

    Hi Nathan,
    If you are talking about an iMac, I don't really know much about them. On my PowerBook the F7 key is the mirror key for monitors. You might try that to see if the TV reflects your desktop.
    If I understand the last question on your post, you can hook your computer up to another computer with a firewire cable then start yours up while holding down the T key to put it into Target Disk Mode. Your hard drive icon to show up on the other computer.

  • My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work.  I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen.  Will they still replace it?

  • I have a broken screen on my 2008 MacBook, I want to access the hard drive what are my options?

    I Have a 2008 MacBook with a broken screen, how can I access the hard drive?

    1. Connect an external monitor. If everything else is working fine on the MacBook, you'll have full access to your computer. Or
    2. If the MacBook has a FireWire port, use Target Disk Mode (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1661) to mount the HDD and then copy the files to the second Mac. Or
    3. Remove the HDD, put it in a $20 USB caddy, and connect it to another Mac for file-retrieval.
    By the way, this forum is devoted to vintage Classic operating systems that Apple retired over a decade ago. More people will see your posts if you put them in a forum devoted to your particular level of OS X (Leopard or above for a 2008 MacBook).

  • Broken Screen - What is the cheapest option??

    Ok - A friend bought a 3G last spring - at a supplemented price... Within about 1 month he got it wet and ruined it... so he bought another at full price. Now he has broken the screen...
    What are his options - I have seen $250 for screen replace - but what is the full cost of the 3g now?
    Any ideas for the cheapest way out??

    I'm not sure about the cheapest option but if your friend is in the U.S., Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail/non-subsidized sales price. The cost is $199 plus tax and does not require signing a new two year contract with AT&T.

    How did the screen get cracked?
    This is usually due to being dropped, putting it in your pants pocked and sitting down, which bends it, etc. You can try going by an Apple Store and pleading your case, or send it in for service here, (assuming it is in warranty)

    You can also send it in to other places to have the screen replaced or do it yourself. Among the sites are http://www.ifixipods.com, http://www.iresq.com, and http://www.ipodmods.com. You can also look on Google for more.

    Do you have any other drive connected, which has a copy of FCP X?
    I would make a copy of the application in some drive, just in case; then disconnect the drive, delete the application (could use FCS Remover to delete everything related).
    Then, try installing from the purchases tab in the App Store.

  • Broken screen of MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Where I can find the part?

    I have a broken screen for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and I cannot find a replacement. Where I can find the screen? I will install myself. Thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts, any you find will be third-party knockoffs.  Take your Retina to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs tell you what  needs to be done.  New Retina screens are not cheap, they normally replace the entire lid as a unit.
