Not sure if this was posted yet, but since my battery died only weeks ago, I thought I would post it. http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2137566/apple-chokes-ipod-battery
Under the terms of the agreement, Apple will offer free replacements for iPods with a faulty battery or a $50 credit to be spent on Apple products or $25 cash. The deal is limited to iPods sold in the US before 31 May 2004. Awesome! I bought my iPod in April 2004. It works fine, but can I still get a replacement iPod? Mine is a little scratched up...
I am pretty sure they do give you a "New" ipod and not just a battery replacement. So you lose your songs but get a new case ect...I could be wrong, but I read that somewhere so I think it's true.
That would suck to get a new ipod...Just to recover all the songs I would lose would be a total pain in the ass. If anything happens to my songs, someone is going 6 feet under.
I just got my 20 gb I-pod this year, but it seems to get drained in like 4-5 hrs, so what would you do if you believe you have a faulty battery?
Who in the blue hell listens to 20 gigs of music??? well, obviously, you do. It was more of a shocked rhetorical question.
If you have a 1st or 2nd generation Ipod you can't get a replacement, you have to choose between a $25 check or a $50 Apple product voucher. I have a 2nd generation and my Ipod only runs for about 4 hours if I fully charge it.
