The back plate of my shuffle came off!?

While clipping my shuffle on my shirt the entire sealed backplate came off. I could put it back in place but there is a black seal that was definitely damaged....how big of a deal is this? Will apply replace my shuffle under warranty?
Thanks in advance
Maxime

Hi Maxdup,
I had a similar issue recently, where the back plate of my shuffle came off.
I was working out in the gym. The shuffle was attached to my watch. After I finished my jog on the treadmill I was stepping down and the headphone cord got entangled on the treadmill hand bar.
The next thing I realise is my shuffle has lost its back plate.
I would expect an apple product to be of great workmanship and not just come apart. It would be reasonable to expect even in an instance of some force that the headphone pin should come off the ipod socket rather than the back plate. The back plate coming off seems to me that there was a manufacturing/design defect.
I have used apple product over the years and I am a big apple fan. However, I am quite disappointed in this instance as apple would not cover the damage through warrenty for that matter even repair it free of charge.
I visited an apple store over the weekend. And the guy who attended to me was mildely obnixous. They expected me to pay $50 odd to fix a $55 product. Com'on what sorta fool would spend the $ 50? He compared the back plate coming off to a screen damage. Not sure that would be a fair comparison in this instance.
I am not going to be the one who'd say I wont buy apple products anymore. But I am bitterly disappointed.
I would love to hear from you or for that matter anyone else who have had a similar experience and what was the outcome.
Thanks.
Ben

The back plate of my ipod bent-how do i fix???CHEAP

i got hit by a car and the mirror from the car bent the back plate of the itouch...it works with no problems and the screen didn't break,only the back was danged.so how can i fix it for cheap or free????

Yes, third-party places can replace the back. Just Google for iPod repair. It is not covered by the Apple warranty. I myself would just live with it.
Here is one place:

Replacing the back plate.

Hi. I am planning on buying a cosmetically damaged iPod classic 80GB on eBay. The damage is on the back plate, and I was thinking there are bound to some iPod parts available. And indeed there are (again, on eBay). But all the classic ones are pretty expensive. But there are a lot of cheap back plates for the 5th gen iPod 80GB. Does anybody here know whether they are compatible? Can I put a back plate of a 5th gen iPod 80GB onto a 6th gen one?
And just one more thought, how about the front panel? Can I use a 5th gen front panel to replace the 6th gen one? Because actually I kind of like the 5th gen look more than the 6th.

I have read on an "iPod battery replacement website" (can't remember which one - google "ipod classic teeth") that the Classic has special teeth built into the case which will break the case beyond use if it is opened, where as older iPods can be opened and resealed. If this is true, it would suggest two things: 1. that you will not be able to fit the backplate of a 5th generation iPod onto a Classic frontplate; and 2. you will damage the Classic's case beyond use if you open it.
Needless to say, the suppliers of replacement iPod batteries are not happy! So beware.
By the way, how badly "cosmetically" damaged is this iPod? Space inside is tight so a "cosmetic" dent in the case for instance would probably mean damage to the electronics inside, which might only show up occasionally!
Overall, I would recommend that you save your money until you can afford to spend more on an undamaged one or better still, a new one complete with full warranty!

What are the rumours about the warranty to my iPhone 4S if I replace the back plate to my phone?

Can anyone help?

No rumors neccessary.
If you take it apart, the warrnaty is voided.

HT1349 I just purchased new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to. How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

I need to blow out my graphics card area in doing so I will have to remove the back plate. Will this void my warranty?

(I have a macbook summer of 2009 model) Will doing so void any warranty? Or technically has the warranty period for my computer run out?
Also if there is no warranty to void is there any negative side effect this could cause with future support for my macbook?
I am fully capable of cleaning a video card without doing harm, but I will let my brother do it as he is more experienced since he is paid to do these sorts of things.

If you didn't purchase AppleCare with your computer, or since then, yur warranty has run out an you are no longer covered. I don't now if what you are proposing would cause any side effects or not. If it is just to clean the interior of the computer, there should be no problem as long as care is taken in the process. I'm not sure what you mean by"blow out" the card. Could you explain?

Nokia 6280 the back falls off very easily

Hi
The back on my Nokia 6280 comes off very easily. Sometimes I come to take it out my pocket and it has come off - surely this isn't the norm - is it?

No - that is not normal. That the phone to a repair shop that is authorized to work on Nokia Phones and ask them to fix it for you.

How important is the back glass on an Iphone 4?

I've had my Iphone 4 since it first came out, I've been using one of those otter cases I love it. Yesterday I took the phone out of the case to get like the dirt or whatever was around the edged and the camera. I turned it around and there's a hairline crack from one side of the back plate to the other along the bottom near the charger. How important is that? Mind you this is my first Iphone. I have the warrenty on it and the 2 year apple care plan but I just want to know how important it is before I rush around to fix it.

Replacement of the back glass is $29 at an Apple store. Might want to get it taken care of before the problem gets worse.

Processor backing plate with K8N Neo

Hi,
I am waiting for my K8N Neo to turn up (placed order with Dabs last week), I have just got my OEM 3200+ and also a Scythe Samurai heatsink, the problem is though the heatsink does not come with the backing plate for underneath the motherboard. It says that you should use the one that comes with the processor or motherboard. Seeing that I have an OEM processor there is none with that.
So my question is will I get one with my K8N Neo, and if not where can I get one? I do not want to be in the position where I get the motherboard and then find that I cannot build the PC for another 3 or 4 days.
Thanks for the help,
Dylan

...here's a thread on this topic in the AMD Forums...I'm a little surprised...

My iPhone doesn't always charge and the back is cracked and is falling apart. Can I get it replaced or trade it in for a better one?

I dropped my iPhone and the back cracked. immediately after that, it wouldnt charge fuly or at all sometimes, i'm having the same problem now, and the back of my phone is falling off in pieces. I would like ti get it replaced or trade it in for a new, better one. is that possible?

Take it to Apple, with some money, and ask if it is eligible for an out of warranty replacement. They will not trade a new 4S for a busted 4. If you want a 4S you'll have to buy one.

Original iPhone back plate replacement

Does anyone know if Apple will replace the back plate on a 1st gen iPhone? It has been dropped several times but still works like a charm. The back plate is dented, etc... and needs to be replaced. I will probably replace the battery at the same time. Any info would be appreciated!

There are a number of aftermarket repair services for iPhones, but those few I've been able to find that quote prices on their web sites have a pretty high price for replacement of the back case - on the order of $70.00 US for just the part, and with installation one site quotes $130.00 - so it may not be worth the cost.
