How can I tell if my iPod Hi-Fi needs service?
Visit our Troubleshooting and How-to page for helpful troubleshooting information. If an article determines that a replacement part will solve your issue, please contact your local Apple Authorised Service Provider.

Note: You may be charged a fee for diagnostic service if your issue isn't covered under warranty.
How long is my iPod Hi-Fi covered by Apple’s warranty?
Your iPod Hi-Fi is covered for one year by Apple’s One-Year Limited Warranty. Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for 12 months from the date of original retail purchase. Apple may need to examine your proof of purchase document to verify your iPod Hi-Fi warranty status.
How can I tell if my iPod Hi-Fi is in-warranty?
Visit the Service and Parts page, enter your iPod Hi-Fi serial number in the field under Support Coverage, and click Go. Our Warranty Check tool will display information about your product, including how many days remain on your warranty.
How do I get my iPod Hi-Fi serviced?
Apple may provide service by taking your iPod Hi-Fi to an AASP near you.
How long will my iPod Hi-Fi service take?
Service times often depend on the nature of the issue and the availability of service parts at the service location. Be sure to ask how long service will take when you carry in your iPod Hi-Fi for service at your local AASP.
Can I extend the service coverage on my iPod Hi-Fi beyond the warranty?
At this time, Apple does not offer an extended support agreement for iPod Hi-Fi.
My iPod Hi-Fi warranty has expired. What are my service options?
If your warranty has expired, you still have access to all available service options, but you will be responsible for the cost of service, including parts, labour, shipping (if any), and applicable taxes. AppleCare or your local AASP representative will provide you with an estimate of service costs before receiving your authorisation to perform service.
My Apple Remote for my iPod Hi-Fi isn’t working. Can I order a replacement?

If an article determines that you need a replacement remote, please contact your local Apple Authorised Service Provider.
What kind of activities will void my warranty?
Apple’s One-Year Limited Warranty excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, unauthorised service and unauthorised modifications. Please review the warranty for further details.
Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPod Hi-Fis that are outside their warranty if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse or misuse. In such event, Apple or an AASP will return your iPod Hi-Fi to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for shipping costs, plus any applicable sales tax. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for details.
Does Apple warrant my iPod Hi-Fi service?
If Apple provides service under warranty, the terms of the warranty and applicable provisions of law will cover defects in materials and workmanship that arise during the warranty or 90 days after service, whichever provides longer coverage for you. If iPod Hi-Fi service is provided outside of warranty, Apple warrants that your iPod Hi-Fi will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for ninety (90) days from the date of the iPod Hi-Fi service.
