The Apple iPod is by no means a perfect product, although Steve Jobs might try to convince you otherwise, and they have had their fair share of glitches and breakdowns, just like any other product. The iPod is most known to have problems with its screen on occasion, its software and most notably its battery.

When one or more of these parts of the iPod break what can be done? Should the owner try to repair it himself, take it to someone who might charge their first born, or just buy another one? Well if you buy the AppleCare Protection Plan there is another option.
