Fourth Generation iPod Parts Replacement Stories:

I am sure that you may have heard of the story of the 14 year old girl in Texas several years ago that went to open her brand new iPod that her parents got her as a present, but instead found a literal box full of rocks. What they understood to have happened is that the rocks were placed in the box before the iPod was sold, and she was never actually sold a real iPod. That is the worst present that I can think of, and her family was truly upset as they had to return the box of rocks- would be iPod- that they purchased to the Target where they had gone to buy the iPod originally. The family then had to purchase another iPod from another store that when later was opened also contained rocks. In the end, they ended up with store credit and were down one iPod. Now I know that most Fourth Gen iPod users have never had this problem in all of their times of musical enjoyment, but if you do have any issues with your iPod, other than it being full of rocks, then your best bet would be to look online for help in your 4th Generation iPod repair rather than returning to the point of purchase. Often, the store where you bought your iPod, including Apple, will be very little help to you. When you find a reputable site that you feel can meet all of your needs, you can then send your iPod in for an assessment so that they can quote you a repair price on what you may need, like a new hard drive. After that, most repair processes are very short, so you should have your iPod back in your hands in no time! Just consider yourself lucky it wasn't a box of rocks again.
