Ipod touch (generation 5) screen cracked.

The iPod touch 5th generation fell to get a single hairline crack on the screen. The iPod works fine now, with the crack hardly visible. Will the crack cause the display or touch to malfunction later on if the screen is not replaced?

Typically the crack progresses with time/use and part or all of the screen will not respond to touch

    The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.

  • I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked. Can I get it repaired?

    Today I dropped my iPod.  Then realized the screen cracked.  So. Is there any way to get it repaired or back? my mom didn't pay the insurance and she bought my iPod touch (the new one with both cameras) at best buy. But can apple store
    Still fix it if my iPod touch is bought from best buy and no insurance? I'm really upset. I need help. :(

    You  can try taking it back to best buy and see what they'll do. The apple store policy is that accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty, and dropping it counts as accidental damage.

  • Is there anyway for apple to replace my ipod touch if the screen cracked?

    The screen cracked when it shouldnt have, on a simple fall and i read on other discussions that some ipods have been replaced by the company?

    Although "drops" are not covered by the warranty, sometimes the Apple Genius will replace the iPod at no cost.  It is up to their discretion.   The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod Touch 4G 16GB screen cracked. Can I get free repair under warranty?

    I was in the bathroom at lunch today and it fell out of my pocket flat on the floor. the screen is super cracked at the top right corner and it spreads from there to the bottom left corner. Im sure my mom will be mad, but if i take it to an apple store, will they repair it for free under my one year warranty?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • TS4006 white screen ipod touch generation 4

    I have a plain white screen on my ipod touch generation 4. I have restored it..updated it etc. I'm able to hear music playing but can't see a thing. I have tried resetting it and I get nothing. Do I need a new screen?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    Replacing the screen would likely fix the problem but it could also be due to another hardware problem.

  • How is an ipod touch generation 4 built? What is it made of?

    I recently cracked my ipod touch generation 4 and was wondering what the screen was made of, so i can repair it.
    What part of the iPod is the LCD, and what part is the digitizer? How much of the screen is made of glass?

    I agree. You can go through Apple, or a reputable vendor like iPodJuice

  • How do I fix? -iPod Touch Generation 4 frozen and jammed

    I have an iPod Touch Generation 4 and the sleep button/lock screen button is jammed. I can't fix the jam no matter what and I've tried everything said online and such. I got a notification from an app and slid open, tapped in correct code, and the app opened immediately like usual. So when you rotate your iPod, the screen turns right? The screen was horizontal so I flipped the iPod vertically and it didn't move so I tried again because, hey, might be lagging. Nope. For a good three minutes it stayed on the same screen. Slowly, the screen began to grey and fade and then it got all distorted and you can only see green and grey lines (green because that's the app's main color). Anyway, I don't mind the jam that's not the problem, I have it so you can press the dot on the screen to get it to go to the lock screen. The only problem is my ipod is completely frozen and I have my contacts, passwords, photos, music, ect on that ipod and I need it. Please help me?
