Mine's been sat in my car with a dead battery for months. Bargain!

Knuckles · Nov 16, 2011

did you not know about the battery issue? stories of them asploading while syncing lol

keep hold of yours... wait till everyones got rid of theirs then sell yours for a shed load of monies as a 'mint, un-fire-damaged original'

don't listen to me though... i'm still waiting for pokemon cards to raise in value

Tom · Nov 16, 2011

Be interested to see what you get back

Ads_172 · Nov 16, 2011

Lol, I'd love to keep hold of it but it's far, far from mint!

Yeah Tom, have heard conflicting reports that say you get a refurbed 1st Gen back and others suggesting it's replaced with a new one. I imagine they'll get rid of their 1st Gen stock and then move onto newer models or start refurbishing the returned ones to send out again.

Regardless, a new battery in itself will be nice. It'll actually hold its charge!

It's.Lee · Nov 16, 2011

I'm going to give it a go. Sure mines is somewhere

tanker · Nov 16, 2011

Mines in pretty good condition, with it being apple hopefully get a 'as good as new' one back.

Kane. · Nov 17, 2011

Result, I has 2 that don't work.

PP200t · Nov 17, 2011

Ohhh the battery on mine has gone but that's a 2nd gen!!

Unlucky Alf · Nov 17, 2011

I'm waiting for my box to send mine back to them. Mines in really good condition and i still use it daily in my car, but, its not costing me anything and my mum read that it could be anything from a re-con 1st gen to a newer model one you get back so its worth a shot lol.

Kane. · Nov 17, 2011

Oh, you need a box?

Unlucky Alf · Nov 17, 2011

No they send you a box to send it back to them lol.
They aint having my nano box, thats still mint! I'll just chuck it in a bag, that way if i get a mint nano back, i have a mint box too

O/T but I sold mine for close to £500 last month lol

Rob · Nov 17, 2011

Crazy? Really? Like really really?

I have the FULL original set in mint condition. Every energy, potion, trainer and everything!

Where/to who?

Oh and Kane, send me one? I need a nano for the running, badly!

Thats only worth around £50 mate

I had 11 full sets of them lol

alanc1000 · Nov 17, 2011

awesome, i'm taking advantage of this!

Fletcher · Nov 17, 2011

I also have a gen 1 nano. Unsure weather or not to send it back TBH.

Harpham · Nov 17, 2011

I gave all my Pokemon cards away, ffs. I had some pretty damn rare ones too...

On topic though, I also have one lying around and have put my details in. Looking forward to see what model I get back. (mine is that fooked though, it'll only fully turn on when connected to a power source - my girlfriend has it constantly hooked up to the sound system in her car [my first 1.2 Clio])

PM me your address mate, I think one of them works.

They are 2nd gen I think.

Steve · Nov 20, 2011

Found a really old one & entered info sending me a box so will see what we get?

Rasclart · Nov 20, 2011

Few people have posted and you get a Shiny looking Gen 1 iPod of the same capacity. I case they reshell and replace the battery. You will not get a new one.

However you get a new Gen 1 pretty much

Ads_172 · Nov 25, 2011

Haven't even received my box to return it yet...

tanker · Nov 27, 2011

Received my freepost sleave yesterday so will send it off tommoz!

Ads_172 · Nov 27, 2011

Did it come just in the post normally, or was it Recorded / Special Delivery?

I missed the postie yesterday and it was something Special Delivery. I'm not sure what it was!

Neither have I..

Unlucky Alf · Nov 27, 2011

I haven't either. So mines back in the car till it gets here lol

Eddie. · Nov 27, 2011

Yep, I will be replacing mine, loved the gen 1, easily the best ipod they made (imo anyway) can't wait to be able to use it again

Kane. · Nov 28, 2011

Also waiting for a box for my Dad's iPod.

Keydogg · Nov 28, 2011

Sent mine off last week after receiving a packet from Apple to put it in. Looking forward to seeing what I get back!

Harpham · Nov 29, 2011

Received packet yesterday. Will get mine posted this morning. Look forwards to seeing what we get back.

Rasclart · Nov 29, 2011

You WILL get a refurbed Gen 1!!!!

So be it. Best iPod anyway!

Rasclart · Dec 1, 2011

Was not aimed at you mate! Bit further up someone saying they wonder what they will get back. It would make no sense to send out new 8GB iPod Nano's to a LOT of people when they can send out a refurb Gen 1 iPod.

Tom · Dec 1, 2011

My assumption was based on there being an issue with the 1st gen design.

Obviously there isnt.

I understand there was an issue with the batteries burning out or something. My battery lasts about an hour now so it's certainly had it! Apparently some can split and burn though?!?

I would never expect to get a new one lol. Will they have enough Gen 1's to go around though? Which is why I wonder whether we'd get a Gen 2-3 etc...

Unlucky Alf · Dec 12, 2011

Mine's on it's way back I've just checked it. It was received on the 9th, fixed on 9th and sent back on 9th. So they must just give you another one, will find out when it gets here, shouldn't be long now.

Ads_172 · Dec 12, 2011

How did you check mate?

jamie.91 · Dec 12, 2011

Im sure I have two old nanos in the drawer, one at least, burning of them has been opened up, I'm guessing they won't replace ones that have been opened ?

As said above the gen 1 nano is the dogs

Unlucky Alf · Dec 12, 2011

https://selfsolve.apple.com/repairstatus/main.do

you should have made an apple id to be able to send the ipod.
Click on the right hand side where it says sign in (then sign in ofc).
Then the screen will come up showing your case number, product id and the status

If theyve just chucked another one back in, it best be in as good a condition as mine was, it had hardly any scratches on and was kept in a silicone case nearly all the time from new

jamie.91 · Dec 14, 2011

Says mines not part of the scheme even tho it's a 2005 one
