Happy Birthday Icecream342
Re: Happy Birthday Icecream342
Welcome back, Icey. I'm glad you had a good birthday and found your iTunes card! When I've been given an iTunes pressie, it's always been done online so you have the reference number safe and sound - even if you lose the voucher. You could download some Blyton's now!

Re: Happy Birthday Icecream342
Very upset- I took my iPod Touch 4 gen to school and I dropped it- it has a big crack on the left of the home button and a line goes up to the top (not a bad crack), but it still works. Don't want to tell my parents. Might try to get it fixed by myself without telling my parents. It isnt as bad a boy in my class- his mum and dad are divorced and he had his tablet/computer in his bag and it has a giant crack. He is so upset.

Re: Happy Birthday Icecream342
There are phone shops that will put a new screen in for you, and I don't think it costs that much. It is certainly worth looking around when you're in town next. You could try Googling ipod screen repair and see what comes up. I found this one when I looked.

Re: Happy Birthday Icecream342
That certainly looked reasonably - £25 to fix the screen... then add £7 to send it to them, £7 to get it back and £12.50 for the repair... so nearly £50, a bit less reasonable for an 11 year old.
Hopefully there would be a place near you that you could personally drop it off and avoid postal charges.
I never had such an expensive device when I was your age (actually, I didn't get anything comparable until I was 25!) but I did have a (second hand) Nokia 3310 when I was about 15, and despite all the internet jokes about it being the hardiest object on the planet I managed to crack the screen on it twice... nightmare. Luckily my Dad got it fixed both times for me.
I wouldn't recommend getting it fixed without your parents knowing, though, as they will probably notice if you don't have it for a few days and will be more unimpressed by the deception than the breaking of it.

Yes, I quite agree.Fiona1986 wrote: I wouldn't recommend getting it fixed without your parents knowing, though, as they will probably notice if you don't have it for a few days and will be more unimpressed by the deception than the breaking of it.
We have a repair shop locally that will replace a screen for about a tenner.

Be careful, though, Moonraker. The expression, you get what you pay for, springs to mind.

Maybe it's an Aussie tradition? I don't think I'd like stale cake 'stuffed' into my mouth.....

Nah. Not an Aussie tradition at all.
