Ipod Touch 4Gen has broken/bent charger port....

Alright so for a few weeks now my ipod has had odd time connecting to itunes and will not even really connect at all to my radio/dock, but luckily it still charges through the computer through the USB cord but it will connect/disconnect several times for awhile and other times it just stays connected. So I looked at the charger port and I noticed it has little metal wires that rest against a black plastic piece and part of the black part it rests on was broken off and in that area some of the metal wires were bent and one or two possibly were broken off but definitely had some bent ones. I typed in my serial number at apple's site and it said my limited warranty is still good for another week so I want to know if I can get it fixed for free if it covers it and if I can't get it fixed free than what is the cost for repairing that part?

If not caused by abuse, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one at no cost. Otherwise the exchange price is $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • Ipod touch 4g has broken pins and the hold button is defective, is it eligible for off warranty replacement  online it says it'd be $99.99

    i have an ipod touch 4g 16gb ios 6.1.5. 
    the dock port pins are damaged badly, music has not played for a while but is come and go now. dont know why (without headphones)
    and the hold button doesn't work,  will apple still honor the "off warranty replacement thingy" i had issues with my old ipod (not dock issues)
    i know they check the dock port on arrival, but i need to know if the ipod will qualify or not
    thanks in advance

    Almost assuredly the answer is yes.  Take it to an Apple store for replacement or contact them using the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page.

  • Ipod touch 4gen black screen but i tune detects it???

    my ipod touch 4gen has black screen and nothing shows up. but when i connect it to itune, itune detects it and i can play song. i tried reseting manually and through itune but nothing comes on the screen. does anybocy know whether its a problem with motherboard? what should i do?

    Try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  If the iPod still has the problem you likely have a hardware problem.  An appointment at the Genours Bar of an Apple store is in order.  You can also contact AppleCare under your warranty.

    Is the dock connector (where you plug in the 30-pin connector end of the cable) damaged? If so:

  • IPod touch 4th gen that wont charge or show up in itunes.

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen. that wont charge. When I plug it in, it shows the battery with a little red at the one end and a lighting bolt ( the usual screen when charing the itouch after it is completely dead). I have left it in pluged in for a few hours but it never actually charges. Also when I plug it into my computer Itune won't recongnize it. The cords work fine I tested them with my other Ipods and everything worked liked normal. I have tried to restart it by holding the power and home button together but that doesn't seem to help either (again probably because it is dead). Thanks for the help.

  • My iPod touch 3th generations won't charge on jbl dock station

    I have a jbl dock station and my ipod touch third generation won't charge but play music

    Did it work before?
    Does JBL (support site) say it will work with a 3G iPod with iOS 5.1.1?
    Maybe this will make it charge:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
