My iPod Touch has a cracked screen and I think it's causing the home button to break. What do I do to see if it's fixable?

I dropped my 4th generation iPod Touch and the screen cracked where it's not protected- at the head phone jack. the cracks aren't huge, but right around the home button. My home button is starting to stop working. I know I can send it in and Apple will tell me how much it costs to fix, but how do I go about doing that?

Apple will exchange, as a out-ot -warranty repair,  your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity. For how see:

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch has a white screen and I am unable to reset it.  Can anyone help?  I

    Hi...  any help would be appreciated.  My iPod Touch has a white screen.  I have tried resetting it following the directions on Apple's site and have not been successful.
    Can anyone help?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • TS2634 My Ipod Touch has a cracked screen at the top. The unlock slider does not work. I have loaded the latest software onto the Ipod and iTunes but still the slider will not operate. Is the cracked screen the problem?

    My IPod Touch has a small crack at the top of the screen and now the slider will not work to unlock it. Is the cracked screen the problem?

    To get pass the passcode lockscreen, recovery mode and restoring should help: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • My ipod touch has a white screen and it wont turn of

    I was playing a gamem and all of a sudden the screen turned white! it wont even turn of. I tryed to put it into Dfu mode and held the top button to it didnt work. so right now i left the ipod on with the white screen and i hope it will run out of battery. So can u please reply to me as soon as posible. Thank you

    Problem is I can't restore via iTunes, because when I plug the iPod touch into my laptop, it states it doesn't recognize the device - "USB device not recognized".  iTunes has no device listed for my iPod touch.
    It was plugged in all day while I was at work, could that be the problem?
    I tried to do it with the DVU method and it didn't work either.

  • My second gen iPod touch has a blank screen, and won't turn on or charge in an AC outlet. When plugged into iTunes, it is completely recognized and synced, but the screen remains blank and off. What can I do?

    Hello.
    I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
    I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
    Thanks,
    - Justin

    1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
    2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
    If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

  • My iPod touch has a blank screen and won't turn on. Help?

    It went blank and I've tried to restart it (pressing the home and screen buttons) but that won't work either. I've connected it to a computer but the computer doesn't recognise it. It's been an hour and it still won't work. I even tried connecting it to the portable speaker which also charge and it won't do anyhting with that eiher.
    also I'm not sure which operatine system it is. iSO something. he most recent one you can get on an iPod touch.

  • My new iPod touch has a white screen and does not reset

    Just bought a new iPod touch and I got a white scree and cannot turn it off. I have tried reset via the power and home button but still have the white screen.
    Is there a quick fix or should I just return it under warranty?

    Don't mess around with it.  Return it.

  • My ipod touch has a cracked screen. It is $99 to fix. Will Apple have a black Friday sale for this?

    Please Help!

    I doubt it but only Apple know and they have not said.
    The $99 is for the 8, 16 and 32 GB 4G and 16 GB 5G.
    It may also apple to earlier model iPods too.

  • Installed on metro Samsung admire sch r720 the only thing it did was go to a grey screen and then i had to hit the home button for it to do anything. help!

    id like to re-download the application. only thing the application did was open to a grey screen.. i tried re-downloading from the play store.. aptoide and even your website. plz let me know. thank you

    Before doing a reinstall, which may not be needed at this point,
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
    Then Repair Permissions.
    No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.
