Mine stopped working like 2 days ago, and idk what i should do to fix it. Basicly, when i went home, i noticed it stopped working. I replugged the power and the cord from it, and it comes on, then like spazzes out, the lights keep flickering and eventually i unplug it cause it doesnt seem to work. Dont know what causes it to do this, and idk if it has warrenty, but its been under one year. Its an iHome iP9, and it was bought legit ( from costco lol ) and idk wut to do

Well this is a long shot, but have you tried going back to the shop?
If not, your warranty should also be covered by Apple. Either visit an apple shop or that costco shop.
My iPod eventually survived going through a washing machine, don't worry, your's will survive too!

oh and btw costco is like a supermarket lol
I have the original box and most of everything, so do you think it has a 1 year warrenty? where does it say it, if it does have it?

Somewhere on the apple website you can enter the code which is printed somewhere on your machine, then it will tell you if you still have warranty from apple. Or at least it works like that for iPods. Pretty sure an iHome would have the same.
Your google is as good as mine, shouldn't be too hard to find.

I don't think the iHome is made by Apple, woutR, so they would probably be little help, lol. Sounds like they just jumped on the 'iNoun' bandwagon.
(Note: I'm personally not familiar with iHome but these steps should help you with most electronics issues.)
My advice is to first search forums (through Google or something) for similar iHome issues and if that doesn't help then contact the manufacturer for further assistance. You can check on the manufacturer's website to see how long warranties last as well.

Yeah Costco would replace it. You should keep your receipts from now on.

Did you pay with a creditcard or a bankcard? If so you can show your transcripts of the bankcard or the cc. Normally a store just needs to have confirmation that you did buy it at their store. Most of them can even check it back in the system if you paid electronically.
