Warranty does not cover battery replacement.

lol the battery wasn't the start of that... the iPod is ruined for the most part.. the hd is still good and the shell is good but its missing all the 3 prong connectors that make the screen and audio work. cuz i broke them off.

Yes it does? I can send mine iPod in with $30 shipping charges and they replaced a battery.

[Mystical]

i broke the warranty when i took it apart i'm sure.

I just opened up my mini yesterday.. every single peice out.. I was mostly concerened with the click wheel, 'cause the middle button (select) doesn't work... sadly I wasn't able to fix it, but I didn't make it worst. I was able to assemble it back together.

I thought the warrant was voided if you opened it up, am i wrong?

and no there vapors shouldn't be posionis but i don't recommend touching the stuff on the inside or putting watter on it.

i've never heard of a warranty that was voided once it was opened..otherwise what's the point of one ?

[Funnlecake]

its voided on every peace of computer equipment, so i was thinking that the warrenty wouldnt cover possable tampering.

Most mp3 players warranty does cover battery replacement. Apple's warranty does infact cover the battery. Since you opened it however you have void it Looks cool inside though doesn't it. If you still have it would you mind taking some more pictures .

i broke the warranty when i took it apart i'm sure.

you are correct, good sir.

i've never heard of a warranty that was voided once it was opened..otherwise what's the point of one ?

When you bought a PC *pre built* their was a sticker on the case that said warranty voided if opened. Also if you did open it and saw the power supply their is a sticker that says the same thing. Same thing goes for the hard drive and the optical drives. Almost every piece of electronic has a void if open sticker or clause in their warranty.

yup yup

yep they wouldnt want someone tampering or trying to modify their products .
And secondly, if you ever did that , they wouldnt wanna be responsible for any consequences.

[Nick]

Yes, your warranty is void. Get a new iPod, lol.

[Redblade]

yep get the new red colour ipod mini. Nicest colour apple ever produced in my opinion.

[pokhermama]

I heard mac or some1 was going to make their own version of the ipod might wanna wait for that:)

[Advocate]

lmao, just a question, what made you actually open it?

Haha... your iPod is trashed now, unless you want to buy some replacement parts off of eBay... I suggest buy a broken iPod, and scrap it, then sell the rest for parts.

Dude, Mac = Apple. Apple = iPod.

Microsoft is making the Zune, and I'm hoping it will be super pimpalicious...

[whatever749]

Whoa, I think I would cry if that happened to mine...b/c I know I wouldn't be getting a new one...too expensive.

[Rush]
