Still have a 1st gen Ipod Nano?

Quote:

Dear iPod nano owner,

Apple has determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the iPod nano (1st generation) may overheat and pose a safety risk. Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006.

This issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect. While the possibility of an incident is rare, the likelihood increases as the battery ages.

Apple recommends that you stop using your iPod nano (1st gen) and follow the process noted below to order a replacement unit, free of charge.

Note: This battery issue is specific to the iPod nano (1st gen) and does not affect any other iPod.

Replacement Process

You may order a replacement unit via the web. Click here to begin.

Your iPod nano serial number will be checked to verify that it is eligible for this program. You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after we receive your current iPod nano (1st gen).

If you have a personalized iPod nano, you will receive a non-personalized replacement. Make sure to use iTunes to back up any data on your current iPod nano before sending it in for a replacement unit.

Additional Information

Identifying an iPod nano (1st gen):

•
It has a black or white plastic front and a silver metal back - later iPod nano models have a metal front and back.

If you need assistance with placing an order, please visit an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) and bring your iPod nano with you for serial number validation.

Your replacement iPod product is warranted to be free from defects for 90 days from the date of service.

Thank you for participating in this program.

Sincerely,

Apple

Apple is replacing first gen iPod nanos due to faulty batteries -- Engadget

I had 2 but i think i got rid of them recently....

sweet i still have 2
one's in amazing condition as Ive used it may less than a dozen times...battery life is sketchy however

Wonder if that means upgrade to the latest nano...refurbished or brand new? I will wait for more details

lol at the imghttp://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....no-smoking.jpg

The g/f has one, and it's been great for her. No issues.

But if this means she'd get the new, smaller one... totally worth it!

:alonehappy:

Wait so do we get a new first gen one? Sweeeeet lol I remember when having 2gb of memory was the shit, now its literally shit LOL

My 1st gen got stolen so bought a 2nd gen.. :okay:

I got two for free when TD bank has a promotion
submit the form
I wonder what the replacement going to be

Lol I got one for free from telus..I hope mine is eligible because my battery life literally lasts for 5mins LOL

edit: i confirmed and everything so I'm guessing mines eligible? Thanks OP!

Does this include the 1st gen ipod or just the nano? My battery was the shits with my ipod until I gave up and bought the first gen touch

I've got one with a battery that's fried... I wonder if they'll accept it if it's not working. If the serial number matches, I'd hope so.

I use one for my car. The battery sucks and good thing it's connected to the ipod usb from the deck.

Thanks OP for the share. Will apply for exchange!

i think mines a 1st gen or 2nd gen.

its says apple 2005 on the back

I stepped on mine :okay:

First Apple product I ever bought! I got the Nano after it too, but the screen also got cracked somehow. At least I can still see most of it.

I KNOW FOR A FACT I have one.
I just don't know where it is :okay:

yeah... cant find mine so im pretty sure i threw em out; over the summer too :/ 1 was my cousins but his battery died and then mine but i never used it (use my cellphone instead)

ah well :okay:

1st gen is the square-ish with the chrome back. 2nd gen is the round/metal all around

the first gen imo is the 2nd best looking.
the 4th/5th gen is the best looking

Dam I have an iPod Mini lol
