Ipod mini :@

[Fruitbox.]

My Ipod needed charging so i charged it then it said it was charged so it took it out and started listening to it... 5 seconds into a song and the bar went from full to empty and said it needed charging :@ so the next day i charged it and left it in all night when i woke up it was still charging i was like wth?! so i left it in and i came back from school today and it said it was still charging!! so i've taken it out and i dont know whats wrong with it?

If you know what to do please help :'( Should i take it back and get a new one or something if it cant be fixed?

[Eamonn]

Look through your booklets and go on the site for tech stuff and if not go to your nearest apple store and if you hav'nt got one in your town/city send it back

[TealArms]

:O well this will cost u around £44 to get fixed as the ipod minis battery do this after a year if u lived in the usa of a u get it fixed for free but u don't so it will cost you they do this after a year or so i would check ur home insurance see if ur coverd then say u lost it or do summit like that

[tbh imo no m8]

[Fruitbox.]

I've read through them and it doesnt have anything on it
The nearest apple shop i live is in London which is where i got it from anyway so i might go back there in the weekend if my bro hasnt sorted it out yet

But i only got it on the 30th April the battery couldnt have run out yet? :s

And i've been put of the Nano >.<

[TealArms]

depends how much u use it, and i think the ipod nano is a rip off , i will have a look on the apple website and see but i think it would be better for an insureance scam lol

[chilloutrich]

take it back :) u get a nano :p i did :p
Lol, i just sent mine bak, they dont sell them anymore so if its completely bust will they send me a nano? lol, id rather have my money back and get a full ipod :D

[Jordan3]

[TealArms]

[burton-x]

My wire for my deadphones' cover has started to go up so some of the wires are visible,

[Fruitbox.]

Why dont they sell mini's any more? :S

I dont think the battery's ran out 'cause it still lets me charge it and you can listen to music on it when its charging? :x

Could I get a refund and get an ipod? ...But i <3 my mini 2 much :(

[tbh imo no m8]

[TealArms]

OMG! everything is rubbish my head phones now can't tell me which ones are left and rights and u get a ipod nano 2gb when a ipod mini is 4gb that is totaly we paid for a ipod mini that works and now they don't! (well mine still does touch wood)

[burton-x]

The Creative Zens are pretty cool...
bit big but pretty cool,
i'd love my ipod if only the battery lasted longer,
anyone know if you can send it away and pay for a longer life battery to be put in it?

[Fruitbox.]

Ohhh i feel like crying now :'( :'( Grrr stupid thing!!!! :@:@

[Jordan3]

-Sigh- Why can't an iPod and a Creative zen breed?

[Fruitbox.]

Anyone know why they dont sell mini's anymore? :s

[TealArms]

I think cos of the batterys running out

[Fruitbox.]

Oh :@ Bloody things!

If your iPod is still in warranty, then you are entitled to a refund or a repair. However, you are not allowed it if your iPod is damaged in any way, cosmetic or otherwise. iPods have a lithium battery, meaning that it will eventually wear out, meaning it will not work properly.

[Fruitbox.]

But i've had it since the end of April and theres no damage on it

My Mate Won An Ipod Mini On Kiss 100...

Haha.. (Sorry If No1 Cares)

[TealArms]

kool do you know how long the warenty lasts?

[nvrspk4]

@ Ross: Your lithium battery has probably worn off. A regular IPOD battery lasts a year under minimal usage. You probably used yours alot and I can easily imagine the battery going in 7 months. Just because it charges doesn't mean the battery isn't working. The only difference is the electricity from the plug is powering your IPOD instead of the battery.

@ TealArms: I think you have to buy the warranty. I know Best Buy offers one but you have to purchase it within 30 days of purchasing your IPOD. Apple also offers a warranty on the IPOD website I believe.

I had other people I was going to respond to but I forgot what they said and who they are so sorry!

[TealArms]

Ok thx i willtry ans get it on out house insurance just to be on the safe side

[Georgia]

This has happened to nearly everyone who has 1
My mate did has to send hers back.
It was on the news before not that long ago about them and you need to send it back.
Thanks

See! I'm right! They're complete rubbish! Ok, here's the deal. Have you still got it under warranty? If not, unlucky! Apple just want your money and will design iPods to only last so long. Thus it messes up after the warranty has run out, and guess what? The moron consumer public buys their new version!! Woo hoo! Now to actually avoid this happening follow this simple guide:



Tom's handy guide to buying an MP3 player

Step 1: If it says iPod or 'Apple' on it, don't buy it!

Step 2: Refer to step 1

Step 3: Are you blind, stupid or just both?!
