    iPod Classic Repair Service?

    I have a iPod Classic 80gb that needs some TLC. The battery is no longer taking/holding much of a charge, the scroll wheel intermittently will not skip tracks when pressed, and the display surface has scuffing/marring that hampers viewing of track info. etc. Model #A1136, Manufacture Date 2007, Serial #Q283901KV9P.

    Any recommendations on a reputable repair shop that I can send it to for repair/cleaning? Apple is out as the prices they want for out-of-warranty repair/service amount to robbery, IMO.

              Why would you spend extra money on sub-par products anyway?
              You like status symbols, or are you a hipster that enjoys proprietary, overpriced, old tech?

                          You would be better off getting an ipod touch 6th gen. I have one just for audiobook. MP3 players are a dying breed. You won't find a quality MP3 player with bluetooth for less then the ipod. As much as i dislike apple I have not found an MP3 player that fits my needs better.

                              Why, because of the correct capitalization, and punctuation? (Not an iPhruity device?)

                                  New (old) ones are pretty expensive. Are you handy with smart phone tools?

                                  I replaced a headphone jack on a nano 6. It was the first part installed, so the last one to come out.

                                      There are several suppliers of replacement parts that also supply very good instructions & tool kits. I've replaced the battery & cover on mine. ifixit.com is a great source.

                                          No, not that at all. Apple can call their product whatever they please. I asked because every time apple is mentioned you join in with an anti apple rant.
