IPod Home Button Problems

[TheDreams]

On my Apple IPod, my home button is like stuck down, it will not work no matter what type of pressure I apply. Am I screwed? or can it be fixed(take to apple store maybe)?

take to apple store maybe?

at least talk to them

The people at Apple dont really care about people unless they purchase Apple care (or it will be expensive). I read a very interesting article that I cannot find, but I thought you would like it. It may just be a better option to replace it.

Well that's is a reasonable suggestion, but as a junior in high school and looking to buy a car it is now the most financially smart idea.

You can edit your posts my friend.

You can edit on a computer not an IPod.

Any good with a screwdriver? There are quite a few tutorial videos about, and it seems the parts are available to buy. depending on your version.

Well it seems this forum is now irrelevant as when I had my headphones in, I set my iPod on the counter then I stepped away from the counter(forgetting) and the iPod hit the ground(disconnecting from the headphones) with a crack, I then turned it over to find that the screen is spiderwebbed like no other. So I figured I had two problems with it, why not call the apple store. Apparently they do not replace screens but they will give me a new iPod touch 32 GB for $99( my old iPod was 1 and a half years old and didnt have a warranty.

For reference, you can enable an on-screen button:

Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch
