My iPod touch screen cracked when I dropped it. It looks like, from the prices, that it costs less to buy a new one then to get it fixed. Would it be safe to have a company fix it?

Actually, I shattered my iPhone screen, purchased a replacement on eBay for $25, found a video on YouTube, and replaced it myself in less than 10 minutes (took my time). It was a piece of cake. Also replaced my son’s second gen iPod touch screen and it was almost as easy. Worth it to get the button bezel with it to save even more time.

Hi Priscilla,

It sounds like you have the same problem I had. I got a new LCD screen from Repairs Universe and it got my iPod working again. The LCD is the part that does the image. The digitizer is the glass touch screen which picks up the “touch” when you move your finger on the screen.

The LCD screen you need is here – http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-touch-lcd-screen-replacement-display-3rd-gen.html

You can find the digitizer and other parts here – http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ipod-parts-ipod-touch-replacement-repair-parts.html

Hope this info help.

I am a fix it myself kind of person and thought that iPhone repair cannot be that hard… Not 2 minutes into the repair I accidentally broken my LCD trying to remove it from the frame. I just stopped before I could break something else and called repairmyiphonescreen.com and they resolved the issue right away and even fixed my mistake for way less than Apple wanted.

@Brainstrain: I’m not sure that your friend is lying but he’s definitely not right. Straight from the apple website:

http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/

As you can see, Apple does not tell people to throw them away. They offer full repair services for the iPod Touch. As for the iPhone, they also offer non-warranty repairs for those:

http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7

For the record, if you did break your iPod Touch or iPhone, there are other, much less expensive, ways to get your device fixed. A lot of third party people fix cracked screens on those devices for under $100.

I have a friend that works in tech support at the apple store online…apple dot com. When I called him and told him about the cracked screen I was told that legally they have to tell the caller to dispose of the Itouch all together. I have known this man for some time now, he does not lie.

Well this was useful info considering the thousands of sites that give you trash info.too bad my Iphone isn’t an actual apple.It’s the chinese version it cost 120 dollars(US) and works as well as an Iphone does other then the LCD cracking from a three foot fall.At least this one can open so I can get the SIM card out..thanks anyways.
