Hi! I would like to seek advice regarding this matter: My itouch has a hardware problem (the screen is greenish-white in color and you can't do anything to it, doesn't respond to itunes or to the simultaneous press of home+power button) so I had it diagnosed at Powermac. They advised me to have it replaced bec my warranty is out (replaced costs a 8k and only has 3 mos warranty). I am considering this but at the same time, I'm thinking of having it repaired at Greenhills. I'm afraid that repair centers at Greenhills might not find a solution to it and if that's the case, is it still possible to bring it to Powermac and have it replaced even if I "bailed" my itouch out? Thanks if someone can offer advice on this.

You didn't just call it iTouch. It won't be long now till the rabid fanboys attack you =))

Anyway, I think your best bet would be to ask PowerMac, right? Just tell them you're going to try to look for a cheaper alternative to their offer, and then ask them if you can still come back and take that 8k replacement offer in case the magicians in Greenhills fail to bring your iPod touch back to life.

sir what ipod itouch is this? more specific please.

if 8k for 8GB ipod touch 4. i rather get a brandnew one @ 9k 8gb with 1year warranty or

used 32GB for 7-8k hanap ka with remaining warranty

or have it check sa greenhills since wala na din warranty sa apple its worth the risk.

if repair will cost you 1-3k go ahead.

if not repairable sell it as is then get a used ipt4 or bnew

Ok I'm going to change the title now before you get killed :-)

In the mean time, good luck in your repair. If it doesn't get fixed, I recommend you let it go and get a brand new one. New features and no headaches.

Get in touch with il_esquivias here at Philmug, he is one of the reliable technicians in Greenhills.

Btw, if you plan to buy a brand new one and can wait, a new iPod Touch model usually gets released by September/October.
