    guy in the apple shop yesterday quoted me €89 for out of warranty replacement - the jack is faulty

    this would be basically a new ipod (not brand new but replacement all the same)

    the ipod is fine just the jack is faulty/loose causing sound to be not great, the guy in the shop was in not so many words trying to tell me its a fairly simple (and cheap) thing to do but that the apple ''policy'' bound him to take it in to be replaced

    anyone taken theirs appart before or replaced parts themselves?

    parts4ipods.com or syncron.ie
    the safe pry tools are the best way without marking the ipod but don't be suprized if you go through 2 or 3 of them to get one ipod open they break easily
