My iPod Touch needed some backlight repair the other day. One night it was fine. The next day, I could barely see the screen.

I bought my iPod Touch at Best Buy just before Christmas. A friend recommended that I take it to the local Apple Store to see if they could fix it.

After 10 minutes at the Genius Bar, I walked out of the Apple store with a piece of paper saying they were going to be replacing my iPod Touch with a refurb. Apparently, backlight repair involves enough effort that it is just easier to swap it out.

The new iPod Touch arrived a couple days later and was in very nice condition. I’m pretty happy with how easy the whole process went. Apple didn’t ask for details on what happened. They just recognized the problem, knew it was under warranty and took care of the situation.

If you buy an iPod Touch iPod Touch, I highly recommend registering it with Apple that way if you ever need to take it in for something like backlight repair, they know who you are and will probably deal with you very quickly.
