IPod battery fried. What should I do?

So I bought my iPod touch in June of last year and then a week ago, the hardware fried out. I didn't purchase any warranty plans because, honestly, I didn't think that my iPod would turn to this state in less than a year and a half. My dad took it in for a genius appointment and they said that the actual hardware, not the battery, was fried and useless. I don't really know who to ask this question, since I don't see a link anywhere to email apple, but what would you suggest?

John--
I'm going to start: Define what is "fried." What exactly is the issue? Touch screen, volume, home button? Are they sure it's not the battery?
Apple can be reached here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Best of luck--

    After update to ios 5, my ipod touch cannot recharge anymore... it's out of battery now what should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    He are some apps that are still compatible for iOS 4.2
    > Pandora Radio (supports iOS 3 or better)
    > Army of Darkness: Defense (support iOS 3 or better)
    > Jet Fighters: ONLINE
    > Jet Fighters II: ONLINE
    These are the apps that I know that supports iOS 4.2...... get these before the their next updates.
    Some of these apps may be laggy but still playable.
    BUT IF YOU DO UPGRADE TO BETTER IPOD...... I would get the iTouch 4g OR 5g because of iOS 6 and use of camera and better graphics.

  • I forgot my ipod 5 pasword what should i do

    i forgot my ipod 5 pasword what should i do

    Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:         
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT201413 my daughter changed her password and cant remember it and now the ipod is diasbled what should i do

    my daughter changed her password and cant remember it and now the ipod is diasbled what should i do

    Providing she regularly synced her iPod, her purchases should be in her iTunes library. If this is the case, then you can simply reset her iPod and put all of her data back on it although I don't know if this works with apps. If she synced it before she reset the pass word then you can stop the auto sync, restore, and put the back up on it. If all else falls, iTunes and the App store remember purchases so you can't buy the same thing twice, well at least I haven't. I hope you find this helpful, and good luck getting her iPod back into usable condition.

  • My iPod just froze what should I do?

    I did the new update of twitter on my iPod just now. As I was scrolling and replying back to a tweet my iPod froze. It's been like for for over 10 minutes. I tried to shut down my iPod but it's unresponsive. I would call apple but the serial number to my iPod cannot be accessed since the screen froze. What should I do? Any advice or tips that would help?

  • My iphone battery randomly started losing battery(3gs)  what should i do?

    All of the sudden, my battery on my 3gs started decreasing, what should i do?

    I have also experienced the trouble as you have,
    With an iPhone 3GS the battery isn't it's best feature but I think this may be the problem:
    Since its and older generation of iPhone its external battery only has an X amount of charges before you have to  replace your battery or upgrade,
    I'm afraid your battery may need replacing or your apps may be sucking up your battery
    TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS:
    1. When not in a WiFi zone turn off your WiFi and Location Services, these are one of the main battery suckers.
    2. Turn BlueTooth off
    3. After you have finished using an app close it via the Multitasking bar
    These are just a few solutions!
    Hope I helped

  • I've lost my ipod. I tried to use find my iPhone and it says my ipod is offline what should I do?

    What should I do?

    Leave your contact info via Find My iPhone. The message will display next time it's connected to the internet, and when it does, you will receive an email telling you that the message is displayed and your iPod is located somewhere.
    Chances are, you may never hear from it. Hope you have it running iOS 7.1 (which equips the device with Activation Lock, a feature that allow no one other than you access to your device) since for those running iOS 6 and below the device can be wiped and sold hands down. (It's worth mentioning though, iOS 7.0.x has a bug that allow some "clever" thieves to wipe your device despite the Activation Lock.)
    Don't beat yourself up. You don't have to FaceTime it -- If a call could come through, so would a Find My iPhone message. (And you should receive an email message.) Just wait for a few days for any email message and if there is none, I'm sorry.

  • When i plug in my ipod to computer what should happen?

    I'm trying to download a book off itunes or anything off itunes onto my ipod ( 5th gen 30gb ) when I plug in my ipod all I get is a beep from my computer, what should happen?

    Hey fink51,
    When you first connect your iPod to your computer, it should automatically install the required drivers etc. You then may want to open iTunes (or configure it to open automatically every time you connect).
    If your iPod is not displaying in iTunes, or Windows, we'll need to start troubleshooting. See the following resource:
    Apple - Support - iPod touch - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
