So my 4G 20 gig iPod decided to die after only a year and two months. Two months after my warranty expired. The guy at the apple store took one look at the iPod Sad face on my screen told me he could replace it if it was under warranty... Now i have a 300 dollar paperweight (albeit a very good looking paperweight).

I was looking at options at getting it repaired as i can't afford a whole new iPod. The only site i've seen is http://www.ipodresq.com. They say they can fix pretty much anything. Has anyone used them or know of another company? are there any backdoors for getting apple to replace the broken iPod? Any other ideas on how to get it functional?

thanks for the input.

I doubt you should go the Apple route though, outside of AppleCare... their support rates are so going to tear you a new one.

Perhaps you should give other third party repairers a go?
