I've got a cracked screen on one of mine. I see the part is relatively inexpensive, but the RR is pretty involved. I've torn down iPods so I have all the tools, but looking at the extent of the tear down has convinced me that we'll live with the crack for now... Dan Sent from my iPad On

You can buy replacement screens on eBay form any number of vendors - you'll find the prices all seem to hover around $25, I believe. The better kits contain the tools you need, spudger, hexaglobular screwdriver, etc. You'll need some jeweler's screwdrivers and a clean work surface. You can

Didn't have iCloud set up before, so last night I started that. This morning I started to set up access via PC, but it requires Windows 7 or later. Bummer. Will have to install iTunes on one of the home PCs instead. Max Dillon, Charleston SC On Jul 20, 2014 12:28 PM, Rich Thomas

My wife's iPhone took a bath, I'd like to try to revive it with a good cleaning using isopropyl alcohol. Battery performance had become miserable before it got wet, so I'm thinking about getting a replacement battery. Prices on Amazon seen to good to be true. $4? $7? Some are as much as $13?
