My Lazarus iPod!

[Kitz E Kat]

So my iPod nano is all but dead: the battery ain't holding a charge for any length of time now, so I went out and bought a new iPod shuffle.
Have to say it's great! It's just two gigs but that's fine for what I use if for: it's my 'walking' iPod. I have a 'truck' iPod-an old 30 gig one- and a 4 gig Zune, that is actually a nice little bit of kit. So anyway this new one is working out just fine.
That was about two weeks ago, about a week later I get an email from Apple, the gist of which is that my old -first gen- iPod nano has a dodgy battery that as it gets older runs the risk of over heating and going on fire! STOP USING IT NOW! Apply for a exchange and we'll sort you !
So now there is a box on the way from Apple to take my old as good as dead iPod back and fix it up or replace or whatever they do and I get it back with a 3 month guarantee to boot :-)
Love stuff like that !
Long live my dead iPod ...

Oh the pod was dead, they thought it was a gonner, the pod was dead but it came back the very next day...

I have a iPod nano that D is keeping an eye on since apple didn't change their battery technology. I would LOVE to get that one replaced because the screen went all wonky - all I get are red lines running top to bottom (or bottom to top if that's the way you want to view it). I can actually get it to play something, but you never know what is going to come on since you can't read the screen.

The UPS guy just took mine! Off to Apple to get fixed/replaced. Not really sure what they will do. Will take up to 6 weeks!
So whatever it is they are going to do, it would seem they are going to do it very slowly.
Watch this space...
