Unsure what to do with my broken 80gb classic.

I have just received a 80gb classic as a gift from my work, it arrived tuesday and was working fine, i updated it to the latest firmware and loaded all my podcasts and music on and its been great since.
Today i dropped it. straight vertical fall onto the headphone jack.
in doing so, it appears that the screen has disconnected itself but in a way that it is still active because the screen shows bright white. I just restored it back to default and the Peso is working so im sure it is just the screen. the only other damage is to the headphone jack which is dented but still usable.
I live in the UK and i am unsure whether this possibly minor problem that i have diagnosed myself is actually in requirement of Apples full repair price and im unsure how to go about returning the product.
Can anyone help?

Apple will fix and probably has flat-rate costs depending on how much damage they find.
No, they won't. If Apple find the iPod has been accidentally damaged, they'll simply return it and might even charge a diagnostic fee.
This is a quote from the repair terms and conditions.
+"Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPods that are outside their warranty if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse, misuse or unauthorized modifications. In such event, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for diagnostic fees."+

I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

What to do with a broken Bluetooth keyboard?

I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard with non-working keys: Tab, Caps Lock, left Shift, Q, W, E, R, and T. All the others work fine, and I can successfully pair it with my PowerBook. I took it apart to investigate and confirmed what I had suspected: Some water I had recently spilled on the keyboard had corroded the contacts on those non-working keys.
So, the keyboard is basically useless to me now and I'm wondering what to do with it. I see three options:
1) Throw it away.
2) Sell it on eBay as "parts". Maybe somebody's kid pried off a key on their keyboard, and they're willing to pay me $10 for replacement keys instead of buying a whole new keyboard.
3) Replace the corroded membrane with a new one. This would give me a working keyboard, but I don't know where to get a membrane (unless I buy another keyboard, of course).
Any suggestions?

I ended up putting it on eBay.

What to do with a broken original iPad?

Is there anything that can be done with an original iPad if it doesnt work? It was dropped and the video card was loosened. I know this because it happend with another of our iPads. The screen was distorted and when though a few different colors then finally the display died. Anything I can do with it? I checked the recycle option but they said it was worth $0. It has a few scratches on the casing too.

it may not make financial sense but you could get an
out of warranty exchange for $249 if "a like new " iPad
could be gift or what ever

What to do with a broken iPod

Can anyone give me any info?
Like where to send, what to send, or if they can do it at a Apple Store.
For my problem, I think it is something wrong with the harddrive inside the iPod
Dell dimension 4600c Windows XP

Well, first thing is this: replacements are free IF you are under warranty (and the technicians agree the iPod has not been abused).
If you are under warranty, the fastest way to get your iPod repaired is to go to an Apple store.
Next best thing: fill out a service request form: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/. *Note: if you've had the iPod more than 6 months, you will be charged for shipping.
If you aren't under warranty, I recommend checking out third-party repairs like www.ipodresq.com.
Any other questions?

Help!! what's wrong with my new ipod classic??

Hi there, I have a brand new 80G ipod classic to replace my older 8G nano. I've been using itunes as usual but when I plugged my new ipod into the PC to transfer my existing itunes library and purchased tracks to my new ipod I got the message "attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I was then prompted to 'restore' the ipod. I retried downloading a number of times. Each time the message appeared after downloading only a few of the saved music tracks (5,162,190,19), and each time I had to restore the ipod. I'm sure this isn't a problem with my PC software as my wife is using a brand new 8G nano from the same PC without issue. Could it be that the ipod hard drive is crashing during the download process? I'm really stuck and would love to use my christmas gift as intended! Hope someone can help.
Many thanks.

See if this troubleshooting article helps.

Problem with unicode in 80GB Classic

I listen to a lot of foreign bands and artists, mainly Japanese bands. I recently changed some of the artists' names to unicode, in order to separate them from the Non-Japanese bands on the last.fm site. Everything looks fine in iTunes when I view them, but when I go to look at the list of artists in my iPod, I have some artist names listed multiple times, some with the new unicode writing, others the regular font. I have checked for trailing spaces, etc., but I still get the same result. Does the iPod not support unicode, or is there something I can do to fix this?

I got it fixed now. I just had to make sure that all the songs also had the album artist in unicode.

What to do with an old iPod classic

My son moved out but left behind an old, I guess, iPod 60GB from way back. I would like to be able to donate this to, say, a soldier, even though I have no idea whether the battery is still good or not. My question is: are there any options for recycling this item? My son doesn't seem to miss it (in fact, he said to toss it), and I really would like to see it get into the hands of someone that could use it--someone, that is, who actually has done something for his/her country. Short of that, does Apple take these items back and make use of the parts? Thank you.

Marilyn...
If you live near an Apple store you may be able to recyle the iPod. Problem is they offer 10% off a new one to you but you may be able to ask they do this in the form of a gift card that you can give to someone serving in the armed forces and they could put that towards something from the iTunes Store such as music or apps for a device they already have.
Considering you're trying to do this from the goodness of your heart, it's worth a try.

You need to place the device in recovery mode.

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.
