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 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.

Selling orignial iPhone, what to do with AppleCare for original iPhone?

Hi:
I recently received a new original iPhone as a replacement and also purchased the AppleCare for an additional year of warranty in case I have the same problem on this new iPhone (the home button stopped working). So now I am considering getting the 3G and selling this new 1st gen iPhone. What can I do with the AppleCare I have?
1) Move it it the new phone?
2) transfer it to the old phone new owner?
3) all or non of the above?
Thanks,
mn3

You can look this up on Apple's web site.

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?

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 have what I think is the original Ipad, and it will no longer send out emails. Is it possible to update it, or am I just stuck with a $500 electronic device that will no longer work the way I need it to. Some of the original apps will no longer work

I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work. Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?

Did you already update to the latest iOS; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

I have iPad2 and original iPad. After upgrade to iOS5 neither will connect to wifi network. Network is working as I have connectivity with iPhone and Mac Airbook. What's the problem?

I have downloaded iOS 5 to both iPad 2 and original iPad. I cannot get wifi to work on either. It's not my wifi as I have connectivity with other devices, just not with the iPad. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.

I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up. how do I get previous copy of my back up??

i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday. Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp. If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore. iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.

Apple wants to charge for a repair but won't tell me what's wrong with my iPad

So my iPad mini is 1 year and 5 days old, and it suddenly won't power on. Nothing, even with a different charger and cable. The Apple website said to send in for battery/power issues, so I filled in the form and gave them my credit card for a little over $100.00 and sent it to them via UPS. That was 2 days ago, now I get an email saying they need to charge me $225.95+tax and I have 48 hours to either pay it or have them send the unit back. Nothing on their repair status tells me what is wrong and why the sudden increase in price for an iPad mini repair. I can call or chat online for another $19.00, but that seems like hiway robbery to me. I mean, I already paid you $100+, can't you even tell me what you found that needs another $225?!?!? On the repair status, there is an area called views of your product with a broken image file, so I can't even see what they are referring to.
If I way the $19, will they even be able to tell me anything, or will they just read what I can see on the webpage? I'm starting to think it will be cheaper to just buy another iPad mini at this rate.
Has anyone any advice ?

Well, I called Apple and talked to them last night. They were surprisingly very friendly. They emailed me a picture of the iPad with what they were concerned about. Now there is a dent in a corner, that I know wasn't there before. I take create care of the iPad and use a full bumper case. I explained to the repair tech that this dent is new and was not there when I took the iPad in for UPS. Actually, when I took the iPad to UPS, I had the unit in the original box (I'm OCD that way). The guy at UPS told me to take the iPad out of the box and then he weighed the iPad, some bubble wrap and an empty box. He then said it was good to go and I walked away with the original packaging. I honestly suspect the damage happened at UPS. Plus a small dent in a corner shouldn't affect battery, right? Anyway, after talking with a few people at repair, they noticed that their records show the iPad being 1 day out of AppleCare.
The last guy was going to just charge me for the battery replacement, which I am good with. But, guess what, Apple can't partial charge, it's either all or nothing. So, after about an hour of being on the phone, they will repair or replace the iPad at no charge to me (just this once, only).
I have to admit, that calling and talking with these guys was very helpful. Everyone was friendly and cheering. Plus I wasn't calling India (no offence to India). I am definitely going to continue purchasing Apple products if this how their support works. If only Cisco could learn to work that way...

I have the original iPad 5.1.1. I am looking for an app to send message by voice . It's for a family member with physical limitations .. So if anyone has a recommendation please let me know thanks

I Have the original iPad 5.1.1
iam looking for an app that can use voice to send text/messages its for a family member with physical limitations

I have the free version of this app that limits you to a 5MB file, but it does work. It requires iOS 3.1. I'm not sure how well the paid version works or what the limitations are.
