Is this dock connector damaged?

[trfjason]

Hi, I just received my iPod Touch 2G 8GB today, after connecting the cable few times, I parts of the connector chipped off. Is this normal?

 

[GoCubsGo]

uh no.

I ordered it online from Apple Store, there is an Apple retail store in my area, should I bring it there for them to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Yes that isn't normal, but if it still charges maybe it's okay. If it doesn't charge then bring it back to the apple store.

OP I would take it to the store. Apple has a 14 day exchange policy and its always better to be safe then sorry.

Even if it charges, the data connector should have 30 pins, don't want it to corrupt data.
