    Hi lads,

    sorry if this has been covered already, i searched it and found other threads but nothing on this issue.

    Anyway, the GF got me a lovely shiny ipod touch last xmas, assuming as with most consumer electronics, that it came with a 1 year warranty.
    Anyway it dropped yesterday and screen cracked, I didn't drop it, it dropped itself:p
    Is it covered? the GF obviously didn't give me a receipt and I don't know how much of the paperwork, if any, I kept! And if it is covered what do I do?? I assume apple can tell when it was registered etc. so they will know when it was bought, well I hope they will:confused:

    Any help/advice/info???? please!? :pac:

    wouldnt imagine so, its damage through neglect tbh as you let it fall.
    a new screen is about 60-70e supplied and fitted by FM Mobile on Camden Street.

    Neglect? Im sure dropping it is an accident, neglect would be throwing it! Im from Cork so ill have to find somewhere down here for it.

    neglect/dropping it, you know what i mean :D
    ie. its not a fault with the product, the problem is due to the fall.

    yeah sorry didnt realise you were in cork but theres a guy on www.donedeal.ie that advertises screen fixes and he is based in Cork.
