Things To Do (& Not Do) Immediately After Your iPod Screen Cracks!


The other day, when walking towards my car, I accidentally dropped my iPod 5th generation. It landed badly and on picking it up; I noticed that its screen was completely crippled.

I could not believe my luck and in all that anger and frustration; all I could think of was what do do next?”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Well, sadly, this is a concurrent story for many smartphone users who end up destroying their smart device’s screen due to their recklessness.

Fortunately, like all other suburbs in Australia; there are lots of shops specialising in all phone repairs in Ballarat (presuming that you reside in this area). They will tend to your damaged device and replace it with quality warranted screens which restores your phone’s performance to normal.
As much reassuring this sounds, your troubles are far from over. From the time you pick up your cracked screen device till you take it your trusted repair shop; you need to ensure your phone’s condition doesn’t worsen!


Here are a few things which you should do immediately after you crack your iPod screen.

Check if The Warranty Period Still Applies:-

Since your screen cracks due to your carelessness, your warranty may not apply. But, still; you should head over to the nearby Apple centre to check the warranty status.

Apple Care+ (if you have it) gives you the option to pay $99 with your iPod to replace your damaged screen at an Apple Store. So, it is worth checking it out with them once.

Look To Back-Up Your Device Data:-

Back up all stored data, pictures, songs and even videos from your device. You can store them in iTunes. To do that; plug in your iPod device to your desktop or MAC. Install ‘iTunes’ and hit the ‘Back-up’ option.

Keep It Tucked Away In A Safe Place- Especially Out Of Children’s Reach:-


Whether it is an iPhone device or an iPod device with a damaged screen; they always pose a safety hazard. More so, if it comes in contact with kids. Little shards of glass can get into their delicate fingers and injure them.

Being a caring parent; you don’t want that, and hence you should keep your phone at a safe place far from their reach to avoid any injuries prior to taking it to your trusted repair shop.


And… DO NOT TRY REPLACING THE SCREEN YOURSELF!

Do not try to fix your damaged iPod screen yourself. Apple creates its batteries devoid of any protection shell to save room. While fixing your screen; if you so much as even slightly puncture or dent the set lithium-ion battery; it will flame up and spew toxic gas.

So, again- do not try to fix your damaged iPod screen yourself!

Follow the tips to protect your cracked screen device till the time you take it to your nearby iPod screen repair shop near in Ballarat. It will save your device from reaching the point of no repair.
