my iPod stopped charging properly yesterday, and it looks like it might be the charging holder that isnt working properly anymore - i might be broken but Id like to get someone who has experience with fixing iPods to take a look at it before I open it up to see whats wrong.

Wheres the best place in Sheffield to get iPods repaired or fixed, and how much does it cost

there will probably be few places in sheffield to be honest. you might have to send it back to manufactors they should be able to sort it out. ipod like all apple products are difficult unless you are apple certified. try www.PDASmart.com they actually repair them if yours is out of warranty or try this one www.ukipodrepairs.co.uk hopefully one of those can help you.
