i assume you have 3rd or 4th gen ipod, which cant be crack open by force. so you can't install a replacement screen yourself

ur best bet is to pay apple to fix it.
How is it he couldn't open it up himself? ever heard of http://www.ipodbattery.com ?

He could replace the screen himself if he was willing, it doesn't look that hard and it's definitely worth a shot...

i have a 4th gen iPOD, and i don't know where to find instructions to get it opened, and no, i haven't tried google, but i don't want to open it up myself anyways. i think i'll go down to apple and have them fix it.

try that. make a puppy face if they don't initially cave in to your request. just say that you noticed that it was broken or something. i'd definitely see what they can do for you.
