Ipod Repair Help

Anyone know anyone in town who'll repair an ipod for a decent price?

Or does anyone know how I could go about fixing it? It won't turn on at all and doesn't show up when plugged in to USB port. Can't reset it either, so reckon it's either a repair job or buying a new one.

 

I had same prob mate, I think its a combination of buttons you press. I think I pressed all at the same time and it booted up in some kind of factory mode. I then left it to charge and go into rest mode and when I came back it was back to normal.</p>

hope this helps. (chinny) </p>

 

unlock it then press menu and play for 5-10 seconds

 

I've tried to reset it with menu and play but it's just not happening.

 

Have you tried

Soaking it in hot soapy water for 20 minutes?</p>

Just wondered...

RE: Have you tried

Surprisingly not. Although it does sound like a good idea.

 

Try this lot

I used them last year

Great service

 

That happened to mine

So i just plugged it in and left it, next day it was working again..

 

RE: Try this lot

Mine's a 3rd gen Nano and it doesn't look like they do anything for them...

 

RE: That happened to mine

It seems like it's completely dead though. Been plugged in for a couple of hours now and still nothing.

Won't even show up as external memory on the computer...

 

RE: That happened to mine

Yep same here, just leave it and forget it overnight, thats what i did i nearly threw the thing through the window..Now its working just fine.

 

Its well known that the Nano`s

are crap and Apple should have recalled them all already.

 

take it into the apple shop and let the genius bar have a look ... you dont have to have to have apple care or anything for them to take a look ive take my second hand ebay macbook several times they sort out the problems with it in 5 mins and it aint cost me a penny once

 

RE: That happened to mine

Right cheers I'll try it tomorrow.

 

Cheers mate I'll take it in if it doesnt work tomorrow.

 

Update...

Charged it up today. Been on from about half 11 till about 20mins ago. Couldn't pick it up it was that hot. Looks like there's a drop of liquid on the screen and the centre button has nearly detatched itself. The ring looks to have shrunk and the hold button is sticky. So I think it's all kind of melted. I've had it 15 months.
Quite scary seeing as it probably could have burned the house down if it was on much longer!

Kind of wierd seeing as the problem all started by me just picking it up to turn off...

 

have you tried rebooting it again. Wear some gloves obviously.

 

Surprisingly it still doesn't work...

 

try putting it in the microwave on medium heat for 2 minutes, cool it in iced water, then reboot it.

 

I'm quite shocked. That nearly set fire to the microwave... You seen that viral ad where the phone turns into a monster? It was like that, but in real life.
