A toddler ripped out my iPod from my docking station and the chip came out with it, how do I get it repaired?

i think you just need to find the broken joint and solder it.

How to remove fix broken Apple Ipod Touch 4Th Gen A1367 Dock Connector

I would enquire regarding repair at: e-mail: [email protected]

The manual for your docking station should on its last page have contact information. I obtained the above email out of an online manual. This information is challenging to obtain. I hope what I have provided gives you some idea of what is involved.

Turn your iPod off as quickly as possible after it becomes wet. The longer your device is on after it gets wet, the more likely it is to suffer severe or irreparable damage. Do not turn it on to see if it works; running power through the device can cause more damage.

We have made a replacement PCB for the iPod HiFi to repair it if the dock connector has detached, or to upgrade it to support charging of newer iPods or iPhones. You can check it at http://www.chargeconverter.com/store/HIFIPCB

You can find a description on how to repair the docking socket of the iPod HiFi (or just upgrade it to charge newer iPods or iPhones) and buy a replacement PCB at http://chargeconverter.com/blog/?p=81

There might be some issue with the docking ports. Try to connect a different iPod and see if its working, if its not working then there is some problem with the Dock connectors in the docking station.

It is most likely the 30 pin connector on the Logitech that is the problem. They can break if the incorrect iPod inserts have been used. Try playing someone else's iPod on it, if no go it's busted. Repairs are difficult if not impossible. Sorry

The new SoundDock II charges your new iPod touch and is fully compatible all iPods and the iPhone 3G. Also the SoundDock Portable will do this. But..
Better news-> Call Bose. They can upgrade the 30-pin connector to charge via USB-only and function with the remote as well. $99. This will make your iPod touch 100% compatible and somewhat future-proof your SoundDock. If the SoundDock was purchased within 90 days (at full retail price), they will do the upgrade for a smaller fee or even free I think.. (new 1 year warranty given with repair/mod) btw- This is an Apple issue, not a Bose issue. All 3rd party iPod connection devices had to make this change at some point.

I had the same problem but with a different TEAC docking product.
My TEAC would not recognize my ipod therefore I was unable to control my ipod via the docking station remote control.
Plug your ipod into the docking station and power down (reboot) your ipod. Once the ipod powers down (in the dock) restart the ipod (yes, while in the dock).

I had the same problem that the ipod would onl play when I pulled it forward in the dock. Looking closely, I saw that some of the pins on the left hand side of the connector were bent forward, so I bent them back with a needle:



(ie. pushing the pins to the right, as shown here). This solved the problem for me.

If your connector is too far gone, I suggest looking to:

for a new connector for £3-4 or

for a whole PCB (Printed Circuit Board) replacement for £10-15.

Hope this helps...
