Where can I fix water damaged iPod Touch?

My iPod got water damaged and now the front camera won't work. Since apple won't fix it for free, how much would it cost to get it fixed?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

  • How much would it cost to fix my water damaged ipod touch?

    I was caught in a storm and my ipod touch got a little wet. I checked it over and there was a little water under the screen but it was still functioning (played music and touch screen worked). I switched it off and dried it out but I couldnt see if there was water left without the screen being on. I put it on to charge and the laptop recongised it and the ipod began charging. An hour into charging it when dead. I unplugged it and left it to dry out for a further 4days. I put it back onto charge again. The laptop and itunes recognises it and says its charging but my ipod screen is still black and itunes cant connect to the ipod but can still recognise it... Is this a fixable ipod and if so how much are the repair costs as the indicator in the headphone port is pink so I know its not covered.

    Depends on whether you send it to Apple to be serviced or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.  Keep in mind they don't actually repair the iPod, but instead replace it with a refurbished model.

    For 3rd party companies, do a Google search for iPod Touch repair and you should get a plethora of results with a varied price range.

  • Water damaged ipod touch 4th gen.

    my ipod is water damaged does anyone know where to get it fixed or how much it will cost?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is no iPod Touch 6th Generation. 4th Generation is the newest iPod Touch. However if you have the Advanced Black Tie Protection (which includes Accidental Handling) Best Buy can send it out for rapid exchange. If you just have the standard Black Tie protection accidental damage (water) would not be covered and you would be subject to the above repair prices to get it repaired by Apple.
    If you dont have the receipt or Black Tie number that is not a issue. Go to any best Buy and they can pull up the service plan.

  • Water damaged iPod touch success story... kinda.

    So my 32 GB iPod touch 4G got wet recently. It powered off during the incident and 3 hours later, I rushed home to submerge it in an air-tight bag of rice. All of this was on a Saturday.
    3 days later, Tuesday, I opened up the bag and plugged it in, and it started charging fine. Once it charged long enough to go to the lock screen, the front facing camera started fogging up, and it was a pain getting it to slide across to unlock the thing. After many failed attempts, I finally got it, and noticed the backlight was going crazy. It was flickering from low to high brighness like a strobe light, so I cut it off and placed it back in the bag for another day then opened it up Wednesday with the same results.
    I eventually left it in the bag for a full 2 weeks then opened it up, and it worked like new. No problems.
    Over the next couple days I noticed the battery wasn't holding up, but later saw that I'd charge it fully, then after not using it for 30 minutes or so, it would shut off completely and the only way to bring it back was to plug it to a computer. It would show the "dead battery" screen for a few minutes, then going to the lock screen it'd have a full battery.
    Now when I plug it in all I see is the "dead battery" screen then the apple logo back and forth. The lock screen never comes up.
    I found sites where I can replace the battery myself but I'm not sure if it's the battery anymore. And if it were a problem with anything else would sending it in to Apple solve it. I've heard all they do is replace the battery and back cover.
    Thanks for your replies in advance.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    The can tell by liquid indicators that the iPod was wetted. It appears that the water damaged some parts and it may be more that the battery.

  • Where can we find the new iPod Touch 2.0 software to download it?

    I am in the United States in Northern Ca..
    It is Friday early Morning after 12 and after 1, I was wondering if anyone knows if the New iPod Touch software 2.0 is or will be ready soon for download or do we all have to wait till 8 in the morning to download the new 2.0 iPod Touch software?
    Where can we find the new Software at the Apple web site to downlod it? I looked everywhere on the apple web site trying to find a place to download it, does anyone know??
    I have updated the to the new version of iTunes 7.7..
    In the iTunes where I sync my iPod Touch where in the summary section it says "check for Update", next to it, it says "iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 7/15/08", I also hit the back up button and it tells me that 1.1.4 is the current Version, do I have to wait till the 15th for that update??
    I was reading somewhere on the apple web site that in order to update to 2.0 I have to restore my iPod Touch and have a backup, is this just for the iPhone to restore and create a backup? if not then how do I create a 2nd back up?
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Trisha Foster

    the update is ready on the servers but is just waiting to be pushed through to itunes. I am in australia and I contacted apple technical support, that's what they told me. Don't restore your ipod, just wait and when you connect and click on update, it will update your ipod and there will also be an icon on the home page of the itunes store. We are all waiting in anticipation.

  • How can I fix my 4G iPod Touch? Bricked, very bad.

    I took the iPod Touch 4G apart to change the LCD and Digitizer, I carefully did it, and put the new screen on, but then I got the,"White screen of Death". I didn't worry too much, and did a hard reset, now the iPod won't respond at all, I've tried putting it in DFU, doing another hard reset, I think of I've done it all. The screen doesn't cpleome on, and the iPod wont even make the charge sound when I plug it in.  My computer won't even recognize the iPod as being in DFU or anything.  It was working before I changed the screen, and after as well. After I  did the hard reset it stopped working all together. No dummies saying,"  Buy a new one.." Or,"Take it to Apple" for easy points. Is there any thing else I can do, or even, what caused this? And is there a fix? Thanks.

    I would say the problem is self-inflicted.

    - 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.

  • Water damaged Ipod touch?

    Hello, my ipod touch had been water damaged.
    It was turned on when it came in contact with water. It was still turned on, however, it was locked and the slider won't slide. I tried turning it off. That doesn't work either. I looked online for help, and I read an article about putting it in an uncooked rice for a few days. I did this, and it is not turn on anyone. What should I do now? I've read on this site that the apple warranty doesn't cover it.

    If your iPod Touch came in contact with water while it was ON and the damage that was done initially while it was ON cannot be reversed. The submersion in rice works when one needs to completely dry out the wet undamaged components internally as the rice will absorb the moisture out of the iPod Touch.
    I would recommend [*_RESETTING your iPod Touch*|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/#section2] while connected to a wall outlet and after it has been connected to a wall outlet for at least 20 minutes. If RESET does not get a response out of your iPod Touch then I am afraid your device has been water damaged and needs repair. You are right, Apple will not honor the warranty in this case.

  • Water Damaged iPod Touch - worth a new battery?

    I had put my iPod Touch through the washing machine around Christmas time last year. I just put it aside - thinking it was damaged beyond repair.
    Today I plugged it in to my Macbook Pro - and lo and behold - I got the red battery charging symbol!
    After charging for about 15 minutes, I powered off and then on - VOILA! I had my iPod touch back! I saw icons, etc. Or so it seemed. I was excited and so paid for and d/l the new 2.2 software. The upgrade tried to run, then failed. Now I did notice that the iPod Touch was not even warm after charging for 15 minutes - I think the battery is no longer functional - and maybe the software upgrade only works if it detects a functional battery?
    My question is this - if I pay for a battery replacement now, will I have a functional iPod after the battery replacement, or have I "bricked" the iPod Touch for good?

    Having it sitting unused for so long, it will need a good full charge.
    Let it charge overnight; make sure you are charging from a wall outlet, or a powered up computer via USB (sleeping is OK). Connected to a powered off computer may drain the battery further.
    After fully charging, use it for a bit to determine whether battery life has been reduced.
    If it's OK, plug in to your computer again, and see if it will show up in iTunes.
    If she boots into iTunes, update and/or restore software using the Summary.
    If it has been damaged by an incomplete install of 2.2, I would take it to an apple store to see if they can reinstall or replace the unit due to software installation corruption.

  • Water damaged ipod touch 4g ??

    My ipod touch was in my bag, and 3 weeks later i forgot it was in mu bag, my mom put a water bottle (eventually it was open) and it spilled, i noriced it was spilled after 2-3 hours. It was still on and worked. The cameras were not working, the headphone jack read like it was being used, and a big water stain in my screen. I restored it and same problem. I put it in rice and its off. Should i buy a spare screen, headphone jack, and cameras or should i wait to see what happens. If they're still the same should i buy them or just buy a new ipod touch... My mom told me shell buy it for me cause i paid for it.

    The refurb units used for the warranty and out-of-warranty exchanges go through the same sort of refurbishment process as the refurb units Apple sells in their online store.  The units go back to China and are factory refurbished to basically like-new condition.

  • How can I fix a frozen iPod touch 4th generation?

    I tried to put my pass code in and it frozen and wouldn't unlock.  The screen then went to the apple logo screen for five minutes.  From the apple logo screen then went to a white screen with colorful vertical lines on the screen.  It's now been on this last screen for thirty minutes.  I don't really want to replace it or bring it to an apple store because the nearest store is over two hours away.  I've tried to press the power and home button and I've held the power button down for five minutes with no results.

  • Where can I exchange my old iPod Touch 4g for iPod Touch 5?

    My iPod has been acting up quite frequently lately. I had put a passcode on it so none of my friends could get in it, and I changed the passcode a few times. The one I recently put in is not being taken by the device, and I've been wanting to get the 5g one. Is there any way to exchange? I know about Apple's 10 percent off of a new one, but I bought mine from Target. Can I exchange old for new at Best Buy or Target???
    Lost and Confused

    Best Buy has a recycle program for store credit, but might be no better or even worse then Apple's 10% recycle offer.  No idea about Target.
