Ipod touch glass repair

counterlock · 2011-10-29 19:00:19

Hi guys, My gf broke the glass in the front of her ipod touch. The touch still works fine, just a crack on the glass. Do ye know anywhere decent that will repair it? I've heard horror storys about some of those phone repair stores

Moving thread to Apple Media Devices which may have better help (@mods feel free to move back to Limerick if you want ).

AFAIK, CompuB in Limerick is an Apple Service Centre

Thanks Clareman, she brought it to CompuB but they didn't give any answer other that it was beyond economic repair, which is nonsense as it is just the glass and not the actual LCD!

There is a few people on adverts.ie that will fix it.

I recently got a screen replaced on my iPod touch 4g and it cost €85.

The glass(Digitizer) and the LCD are glued together on the 4th generation ipod touch, its a difficult job and definitely not for the DIY'er.
expect to pay between €70-€150, Make sure whoever is fitting the screen will guarantee that it's an official apple screen as the copies are not as good, regardless of what anyone tells you.
I usually notice points(around the camera area) where the screen gos all colourdy when pressure is on it after it's been replaced
