ipod nano 1st gen recall program

[s2_bo]

This will probably be of interest to people that still have an old 1st gen Ipod nano lying around.


Apple launched a recall program about 2 months ago as allegedly some of the batteries in these models where catching fire.

I sent of 3 completely dead 1gb ipod nanos that i had lying around and today received back the replacements.

They sent me 5th gen 8gb ones that retail for £115 each!

More info on the recall program here but its well worth it if you have one, working or not.

Seeing as I have a 4gb one in my glove box im going to send that back and see what I can get in exchange. I hope its not just another 1st Gen one!

D'oh, mine's 2nd generation...

Mines a 2nd gen too, maybe in a year or two they will be recalled too :mischeif:

I've got a 1st gen Nano which I still use occasionally. I'd better keep an eye on it!

Does this recall include the rest of europe aswell or just UK?

What did you get back Paul? I just sent mine off on Monday and intrigued as to what people are getting in return.

I got a nano 8gb as my replacement 2-3 weeks ago. took 3 months to get. i think its a world wide recall. the batteries will melt.
