How to fix dented speaker on iPod Hifi?

I just bought a demo unit at a Sound Advice. Overall I'm very happy with it but unfortunately the speaker on the far left is dented right in the middle. It doesn't affect the sound quality but I would love to fix it. I have no idea how to open the unit or whether I should take it to an Apple Store. Anyone else have this issue and resolved it?

I had a similar problem, but my issue was caused by my 5 year old throwing something at the speaker.
Anyway, here's what I did...I took my vacuum cleaner hose and put it on top of the dented speaker...it took some jiggling but eventually the dent was removed. I don't think any dent on a speaker will be cover by a warranty so whatever you do to remedy it may be at your own risk. Having said that... the vacuum cleaner trick worked for me.

    How to fix error 2001 in ipod pls pls tell

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • How to fix dead pixels on iPod touch 4g?

    Hi.
    I have a 2 year old iPod touch in very good condition, and I am starting to notice that some pixels where dying. It started out as a very few, then a bit more, and this morning, there was even more. I want to fix this cuz I am afraid that the problem grows and that I will no longer be able to use my iPod. It is out of warranty now, and I do not feel like paying a fortune to get it fixed...I take extreme good care of my iPod. And I have no money to get a new one.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi nath
    Unfortunatly the only solution i can see is to either buy a replacement screen or a new ipod. As you said you have no money to get a new one so you may be able to find a replacement screen cheaper than buying a new ipod. Or you could try an LCD repair kit, though i have only seen them for fixing LCD screens in car speedometers.
    Hope this helped!
