...The greatest advantage and disadvantage of an iPod is its size. For such a small gadget, the iPod can hold thousands of MP3 files. With its portability, the increase of mishaps is sure to happen.

From common scratches to hard drive problems, an iPod's biggest selling point can also be its greatest drawback.

Detailed below are the most common repair issues...

1. Getting Dropped

2. Getting Scratched

Scratching an iPod is as easy as scratching a cell phone. With its increased daily use, the iPod is not just used on occasion, but is a regular accessory.

5. Dirt

With regular use, dirt can accumulate in the iPod. Cleaning is needed in many cases.

6. Bending

Even though there is an increase in clothing designers catering to the iPod user by designing storage units in many jackets, shirts and pants, bending and cracking can happen. Many people keep their iPods in their back pockets and mishaps can happen when sitting.

7. Broken Screens

One of the leading repairs is LCD repair. Breaking or cracking of the screen can happen in so many ways, accidentally or even with just normal use.

8. Hard Drives

The most costly repair is the hard drive. For whatever reason, these gadgets can stop working like normal. A hard drive upgrade or replacement may be needed.

9. Headphone Sockets

With continual use, the headphone socket may become loose or even broken. Repair is needed since it is the source for listening.
