My Pod Will No Longer Take A Charge-Apple Replaced It With A New One!
During the past two months my nearly year old 5 Gig iPod has run less and less on a charge. It finally stopped working completely this weekend. Shows file and/or battery icon with an exclamation point. After trying to figure out what to do on the Applecare site, I simply couldn't find an exact fix. Sooo, Apple is taking it back for service. It is still under warranty as they extended all warranties (I purchased mine on 11/19/01) to a year rather then just the original 90 days. I should get the shipping carton in the next few days.

So, I plugged it into the mains, and it claimed to have fully charged 30 minutes later. BS, thought I, so switched the charger on and off, after which it took another two hours to charge. Apart from resetting the clock, there have been no ill effects, and the charge is lasting out like a trooper again.
Me happy camper.
Sorry to hear you're having problems, MacsRGood4U, but everyone I've heard have problems seems to have got a good resolution.
Thing is, if mine's going to crap out, I'd rather it did so before the year is up... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
<strong>Apple sent me a return box. Sent back the iPod. Will probably get a replacement rather then it being fixed by mid-week (November 6 or 7). AppleCare site shows it pending to be shipped back to me.</strong><hr></blockquote>
