Ipod Nano 1st Generation Recall

dfarrall · 12 Nov 2011 at 12:23

Just a heads up, apple are recalling ipod nanos due to a battery fault.

These are years old but i still have mine (had to dig it out)
Worth sending back for a new model i suppose!
Not sure what theyre going to replace it with though, possibly the new nano hopefully.

Cheers, may as well give it a go, mine stays in the car all the time.

DirtyJester · 12 Nov 2011 at 12:49

Thanks must dig mine out and check it

Raptor · 12 Nov 2011 at 12:50

Yep mine qualifies, so they are sending out a box to return it to them.

DirtyJester · 12 Nov 2011 at 13:18

Cheers again matey, mine also qualifies and now waiting on delivery of a returns box

It'll be interesting to see what you get back.

Not a problem

The same recall happened in korea a few years back, but never went worldwide. You could see what they got back, if it was the current gen i expect it will be for us.

Found 1, it's a 2GB one. Not sure if it's 1g or 2g though.

Typed it into the site and it says 1st gen

i read on macrumours forum that you get the same gen back, but cool if they give us a new one

It says if you had it engraved you won't be able to keep that so to me it suggests you'll just get a refurbed one back. Surely it's far cheaper for them to just put a new battery in than to send out new touch screen nano's, and besides, they don't know what colour you might want.

Raptor · 12 Nov 2011 at 20:14

Refurb is all I would expect anyway, Should get another 5 yrs out of it.

Nexus · 12 Nov 2011 at 21:09

Sold mine last year.

dfarrall · 12 Nov 2011 at 23:30

Ofc it will be a refurb, but they are all practically new anyway (not like anyone has warranty left!)
Would have expected them to be out of stock of this model though

I've got two of these which should quality and when I put in the serial number the little loading wheel just spins and it won't let me do anything. Anyone else having this issue?

I'll be happy enough with a refurb one. lots of marks and scratches on both front and back, but personalised though!

Can't say I had that problem, even if (and I did a few times mistake a S for 5) typed in wrong key it came up straight away not recognised. Once entered correctly* it takes you to the itunes / apple account section. Keep trying mate.

*Should once entered correctly and valid *

Just tried it again and it worked

I wonder what they'll send me back. I'd be happy with another refurbed 1st gen nano tbh as the battery life on mine now is about 10 minutes.
