What if you ran your iPod over THREE times?

After yesterday's news that an iPod lasts four years, and that you can run over it with a car and put it through the washer (if you're not picky about the display working), I thought it might be time to tell you how to get your iPod repaired -- or even get the battery replaced.

One place I've found is iPodResQ, which says, "We service ANY MODEL iPod and repair Hard Drives, Logic Boards, Ports, Scroll Wheels, Screens, or anything else wrong with your iPod!" They also sell "self-service" batteries for replacement, if your iPod is no longer holding a charge -- and they'll also do the work for you.

And if your Mac laptop is ailing, they'll fix that, too. You even get this super-secure "power box" (pictured at right) to send them your laptop -- Powerbook, iBook or MacBook. You can get 3-day or next-day turnaround, too.
