Are you upgrading
your iGadget this holiday season? You
can sell the old one on one of these websites:
it's greener than recycling it AND you get money!
But even before
that, try to fix it:
I bought one of
these iFixit kits to fix my old classic iPod when it died last year. The kit included all the tools and YouTube
video instructions for deconstructing it and replacing the battery… very easy
to follow, but alas, my iPod was really most sincerely dead. Perhaps others will fare better - maybe your
iThing is only mostly dead? At any rate,
the iFixit kit cost me less than $20, but the enginerdy joy of taking something
apart and putting it back together, combined with the glee I experienced from
the idea of sticking it to the purveyors of planned obsolescence? Priceless.
