iPods are ripoffs... [Posted on 2006-07-19]
I bought this for my kid for Christmas 2 yrs ago. It was all he wanted (he was only 10). He promised to take good care of it - which he did. It's been fine until recently. It froze a couple of times, but I learned to reset (read: re-boot) the iPod, and it was fine. But a few weeks ago, he got the folder icon with the ! that's been mentioned by others. I took it to the Apple Store Genius Bar, where the resident genius informed me of 2 kinds of hard drives: those that have failed and those that will fail. I had "the former". He offered to "dispose of it properly" for me so I didn't polute the local water supply with the horrible chemicals in the battery. We exchanged some "not so" pleasantries and I took the iPod home to check the web to see what my options were. I found a site that explained how to replace the drive for about $100. But on the thread, someone commented that they "smacked it" and this fixed it. Since it was out of warranty, and the drive was gonna come out anyway, I gave it a try. My method was to hold the iPod in my left hand and deliver a substantial blow from the side with my right hand. The second blow caused the thing to start properly. This method may work by holding with the right hand and striking with the left - but I can't say for sure :-). Anyway, I cannot believe that Apple will not fix these things, or offer you this advice. And when I realize that they charged me $350 for a $70 harddrive, I get even more pissed... But, my kid loves his U2 iPod!

The sender went above and beyond my expectations and made sure they took great care in packaging as if it were their own. The product was in excellent condition and arrived much sooner than i would have ever anticipated. If you have the opportunity to do business with these people i can promise you that u will not be disapointed.

Completly stopped working after only being in my possession for less than a month. A disappointing waste of money.
