I dropped My ipod and the screen broke..please help me!

Ok..
I have a 30gb Video IPod. It fell out of my pocket onto concrete and the screen has gone white apart from a yellow/black splodge with blue patches all over the screen. My warrenty has run out so is there any way i can fix this myself or do i need to send it to apple? Theer isn't a scratch on the actual glass though...!
Please help!!

dear chris,
do you know of any where in san diego I can get a 20 GB 2004 4th generation ipod fixed? my son dropped his 2 wks after getting it,right before deployment (marine) now he's leaving again aaaaggghhhhhhh! and I need to fix it this weekend! the screen plasma's all funky ,and I think thats the major thing, but not sure. I also have cancer, low funds, so ANY help will be a blessing, I'm really at my wits end as to next step.
Ever So Grateful,

    My daughter dropped her Ipod touch, and the screen shattered...can anyone tell me if thats covered under the 1st year warrenty? and If not how do i go about getting it repaired?

    User abuse is not covered. They will not replace the screen, but rather the iPod itself, and will do this for $99 (for 8GB model). See here for more details: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/

  • I bought iPhone 6 about 2 weeks ago. I dropped it and the screen broke. Do I get any help?

    I bought my iPhone 6 1 or 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I dropped it yesterday and the screen broke. Do I get any help? Do I have any coverage?

    Accidental damage are not part of the warranty. Did you purchase Apple Care Plus? That has a two device replacement policy with a deductible over the two years of the coverage. Otherwise they may be able to replace the screen for a price, or replace the phone for a higher price, as an out of warranty replacement, but still lower then that of a new device.

  • I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

    im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    - Try a reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

    I dropped my ipad and the screen went blank.  I cannot get it to come back on.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  If that does not work you need to take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar to have it evaluated by the technicians.

  • I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen has gone completely blank.  It is fully charged and will play music but I have no idea where anything is.

    I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen is black - it is fully charged and will play music but there is nothing to be seen on the screen.  I have no idea how to fix this.  We live in France now so any of the fixes have to be in English since I can't read French.  Any advise would be greatly appreaciated.  I looked at some of the other answers but I have no idea where the Hold button would be on this.  Thanks.
