iPod My nano is dead

[MattyMac]

Well I called customer service and filled out the service request form for repair online.

This is what happened; I was about to go for a run today, but my iPod wouldnt turn on. It is definitely charged, but still doesnt work. Yes, I tried resetting it, connecting it to the computer, yada yada yada and nothing

Now I have to go and run without my nano

Well, hopefully the turnaround time wont be forever..

Well as long as it is still under warrenty and their is no physical or water damage they will replace it for you! The turnaround isnt that bad, i did it with my nano and had it back with in two weeks from the day i told apple to send me the shipping box!

Actually i just thought of a better idea, stupid me. Why dont you just bring it into your local apple store. Bring it to hte genious bar and they will replace it for you right then and their. It is quick and painless. I think that is your best bet!

Sorry to hear about your iPod Nano's untimely demise MattyMac, my advice would be to do as ipodcentral112 has suggested and take it to your local Apple Store.

Thanks I was thinking this as well...however I asked the phone support women if I should do that and she said they would probably ask me to go through the online form anyhow or to call the support number. So I went with the online form. Two weeks isn't too bad I suppose. Actually, that's alot of running my iPod will miss

Not bad, two weeks without an iPod is like an eternity!

Well, since you have all of those other iPods, your withdrawal syptoms should be minimal MattyMac.

Yeah I thought that's how it works...I'll definitely go that route next time!

...I already filled out the online form, so I'll just go with that for now

Sounds good and good luck!

Too late unfortunately, I'm already sending it in.

 

[ipodcentral112]

Will do...I'll most likely be recieving my box today to send it out for repair. Hopefully I can get DHL to pick it up ASAP.

 

[MattyMac]

Got my box afterwork and I called DHL to schedule a pickup and they are coming today before 7pm. What quick service!

Yes they are...and guess what??

My new nano is being delivered tomorrow....amazingly Fast transactions!

Less than a week

EDIT: Today

Yea, the thing that scares me about online is if they return it and charge me $100 for normal wear and tear. I never bothered to get a skin for my nano and now it looks like it went through a blender. Worked fine up until a few days ago, when it wouldn't charge.

I should go to my local Apple service center or something.

replacement nano

I bought my iPod Nano about two weeks. After the first charge I new I had a lemon on my hands. Battery on lasted four hours. Tried it out for a week, ran power down and up, reinstalled software etc... tried it without backlight, without skipping but it wouldn't last past four hours. Here's what I did. FIRST I called apple and told them the problem. They then gave me a case number and an appointment at the Regent Street apple store. Then I went to the apple store for my appointment and the genius (that always sounds so funny) was going to have me leave it with him for inspection (aaaahhhh) but I pointed out the case number and he said, "oh, you have a case number." And he handed me a new nano. That was that. So. A) Get a case number. B) Head to your apple store. C) Leave very happy. Hope this helps in any sort of mac situations. Cheers, T
