I pulled my ipod out of my pocket today, somehow i managed to crack the screen while was in there. no clue how that happened, never happened with my previous ipods. anyway i'm not really concered with how it happened, i just want to get it fixed. so anyone have anty suggestions? im not sure if this is something best buy will handle (i bought it there... not sure what they dot here/) or if i should call up apple and send it to them?

anyone have any experience with apple or have been in a simular situation? besides the screen the ipod functions normally.all the buttons work and it stil plays music, the screen is just real weird. There are sites taht sell DIY repair kitsi but i don't know if i want to try that.

I'd take it back to Circuit City and see if they'll warranty it since they sold it to you. If not, see if Apple will warranty it. If not, see how much it'll cost for them to fix it :)

its not a warrenty thing, its giogn to be considered "accidental damage" they'll want $250 plus shipping and i'll get a refurbrished one. So i bought a new screen for it on ebay as well as a tool to take the ipod apart. going to take it aart and try it for myself. at this point i ca't loose anything.

Yea, good call on that. Worth a shot at least. Let us know how it turns out.

I don't know how easy it will be to replace the screen. I cracked the screen on my Sony Ericsson W800i, the repair company ended up not even replacing the screen, they just sent a new phone. Call apple and find out who does the repairs, then call the repair company and ask them. As it was, the repair company told me it'd be $135 to replace my screen, and then just charged me $100 for a brand new one.
