My beloved ipod Classic 80GB 6G probably needs a new HDD as my nephew dropped it on the ground......it worked fine for some time.....now i get the red cross signal.......
There r no mechanics here in trivandrum and reddington refuses to even open it as warranty is over.......
Do u guys know any trusted mechanic who can repair it or put in a new HDD without any cosmetic damage?
If so, i can send it to u for repairs.....and i'll pay the shipping charges........
 
I guess Deal extreme has a repair kit for the ipods.
A DIY kit, it consists of tools to pry open ur ipod and then u can proceed accordingly.
HDD for the pod can be procured from wherever u like. Deal extreme wd have that as well i guess.

Just google out the repair kit if DE is outta stock.
Edit: You can always look up the kit and find it on ebay.in
or look in ur neighbourhood. KMD is not here for laughs either.
 
I have 30gb ipod and HDD gone... still looking for repairing it.went to gaffar market, delhi where the repair guy estimated total cost to be 4700/- approx incl battery... any chances of buying stuff from US and shipping to india at cheaper rate or something..

I dont have a credit card to pay dollars.....

You can use PayPal for purchases at DealExtreme!

A DIY solution would be ideal and there are plenty of tutorials/guides on the internet, to follow.
 
Hoorah!!! I've opened it.......slight dent on bottom....that's all....
Now i need someone to buy me a new hdd.......

I've opened the hdd.....the beep sounds r coming from it......upon giving power, the hdd initially didn't spin even though sounds were coming from it.......i gave it a spin and it started spinning.....but i notice that it spins for 15 seconds, stops, again starts spinning for 15 seconds and once more repeats the same......then stops......
Screen still shows red cross....
I've dismantled everything now......
