IPod got run over by a car

The LCD screeen is cracked, but still lights up, and the iPod still plays music. I looked at the repair prices on the site, but it doesn't seem worth it to pay $129 to repair an ipod when you can get a new one for $250. Are there reliable, affordable kits you can buy to repair iPods yourself? Also, how easy would it be to do it yourself?

Its easier than it seems if you have some time and patience and steady hands. I suggest going here:

They also have an online instructional video that is great!
If you do not trust yourself than you can send it in and they'll do it for you for $20 extra.

    If it's a radioshack warranty read their paperwork or call them.
    You can check with your homeowners policy.

    I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations.  It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday.  Please advise.

    The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
    You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

    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 iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    you can exchange a 4S for $199

  • My Nokia 6500c got ran over by a car--need a new c...

    On Saturday night one of my friends decided I was taking too long crossing the road and thought it would be a good idea to carry me across in his intoxicated state. Bad idea. My phone fell out of my bag and got driven over by a car.
    A CAR.
    Now, I know people have been having problems with their screen breaking really easily, but shockingly it didn't break. Nor did it break when I accidentally left my phone in my jacket pocket and put it in the washing machine a couple of weeks earlier.
    To be fair, it isn't even that badly damaged. Despite the car. It has no scratches on the back, a few on the upper case at the front and a crack at the top near the charging point.
    So off I go to Phones4u where I purchased it from and where I was told rather rudely that they couldn't fix it, and that I should "buy a new one".
    As I explained, the phone itself is actually fine. It works perfectly. I just need a new case. Not to spend £££ on a new phone. I'm on contract anyway, barely six months in I don't want or have the money to buy the same phone when it works fine.
    So, where can I get the case replaced/repaired/a new one [case]? In bronze preferably. I don't mind cost as long as it's cheaper to buy then a whole new phone.
    I'm on Orange, could they help me at all?

    expansys or ebay is best places to try
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • My iphone got ran over by a car and doesnt work anymore what can i do to get this fixed?

    MY iphone got ran over by a car and the screen is shattered and the phone wont turn on, what can i do?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $199 for an iPhone 4S. The caveat being that the phone has to be more or less intact... If you take them a "bag of parts", they won't offer a discounted replacement.

  • I have a 2 year old iphone4 that got ran over by a car and although the outside screen isn't broken it is inside somehow, is it true I can take this into an apple store and get a discount when I buy a new one? Thanks

    You can exchange for an out of warranty exchange iPhone 4 at a price of $149 in US
    you get an as new iPhone 4 and the Apple genius bar take your "bits"
    Apple are about to offer a trade in programme in the US but I believe the donor iPhone must be in full working order to qualify

  • My ipod got ran over, is their a way i can get a NEW ONE. haven't had it for 90 days yet.

    My ipod have been ran over by a truck and i need to no how can i get another one even though i haven't had my ipod over 90 days.

    You might be able to get something from your home owner insurance policy. Check with your agent.

  • Help!  iphone 5 was run over by a car.There are 2 apps that I REALLY need, to get on my ipad.  I was able to sync even though the phone itself won't work, so there should be a backup on my computer.  Is this possible? I need the info in the apps.

    I kept a journal and my running bank account balance on the iphone.  I am really at a loss without these.  The journal was also my baby's eat/sleep/etc. log. Please help!!

    If these apps are also iPad compatible, you can download them directly. Make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID that made the purchase. (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)
    On the iPad:
    Open App Store > Updates > Purchased

  • My phone got ran over by a car

    Luckily it wasn't in my pocket at the time but where can I get the screen replaced?

    I believe that text messages don't sync into the phone, however a contact list does. List should automatically sync right into your phone. make sure that when you set your phone up, you used the same email account. If you want to double check if your contact list even exists under your email account go onto:
    windowsphone.com
    choose my phone from the pull down list and select contacts located at the bottom of the page.
    There you can see all your contacts as well as link your other accounts such as google, facebook etc.
    If your contacts exist, click on manage on top of the bar and choose restore deleted contacts.

  • Can I get a new iPod after it got ran over a car if I go to apple?

    Long story short, I dropped my iPod touch 4 gen 32gb in the middle of the road and got ran over by a car. It still works but however the screen is cracked EVERYWHERE  and there is a bump on the back. I dont have any warrenty with apple, but i did get it with walmart, i didnt log it in. idk if its still good anymore because i got my ipod like 2 and a half years ago. I am going to an apple store soon, but i need to know: Can they just give me a new ipod and transfer my memory to the new one? How much does it cost? Please help need feedback asap!

    As long as the iPod isn't in multiple pieces, Apple can replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    You will need an appointment if you intend to go to an Apple Store. Whether they can transfer your content will depend on whether they can get the iPod to mount on one of their computers. If they can, you'll need to read this to get your iPod to sync with your computer without erasing everything:

    If you can't power the phone up, you're not going to be able to get any data off of it.

  • My iPhone 4 was run over at work worked fine  for 5 days then got really hot and shut down. I can not get it to power back up. I have photos that were not backed up is there anyway that I can retrieve my photos from the phone?

    MY iPhone 4 was run over at work by a forklift the screen was badly cracked but other than that worked fine for 6 days. Then it got really hot while charging and shut down and will not  power back up. I have photos on this phone that we're not backed up to I cloud is there any way to retrieve my photos from this phone?

    No. You probably should have backed it up while it was working during those 6 days...

  • After updating to 4.3.5, my iPod Touch nolonger works on my car stereo! Any idea how to restore Version 4.3.4

    Don't know if any other users have had this problem?
    I have updated my iPod Touch (4th Generation) to the latest software version (4.3.5) but now I can no longer use my iPod Touch with my car stereo.
    I drive a brand new Chevrolet Orlando, & until I updated to 4.3.5, My iPod Touch work perfectly with the inbuilt car stereo, including the steering mounted controls & displaying track names, artiest, album, Etc.
    Ever since the update, I have lost the display on the stereo, but it still recognises that I have pluged the iPod in.
    The only way I can get my iPod to play is by playing a track through the inbuilt speaker (on the iPod) & then plugging it into the car stereo.
    When I do this thou, I have no control over what is being played as I am unable to skip tracks/play list/Etc & I have no track information, which I could do when my iPod Touch was running software version 4.3.4 & below!
    Is there any way I can reinstall version 4.3.4? I have tried to do a restore through iTunes, but it keeps installing 4.3.5! I have tried to reset my iPod, but again it reinstalls 4.3.5
    Any help & advice would be great!

    Just to add a bit more information here! LOL!
    Tried the followind devises on the car stereo & here are the results -
    My Wifes iPhone 3G running iOS 4.3.2 = Worked fine!
    My Sons iPhone 4G running iOS 4.3.4 = Worked fine!
    My Sons iPod Classic running iOS 2.2.1 = Worked fine!
    My Daughters iPod Touch (3rd Gen) running iOS 4.3.3 = Worked fine!
    I think this rules out the problem being with my iPod Touch, as it is the only Apple product we as a family own which has been updated to 4.3.5! The rest of my family are now holding off updating there's! LOL!!
