Do you have a first gen iPod Nano and you notice that it has the tendency to be Hot and even emit some smoke? Well, Apple will be willing to replace your old iPod and replace it with a new one.
After reports of iPod Nanos overheating and some even exploding, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry started to look into it and discovered that iPod Nanos with known overheating incidents were sold in Japan between September 2005 and September 2006.
“Apple has determined that in very rare cases batteries in first generation iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 can overheat causing failure and deformation of the iPod nano. Apple has received very few reports of such incidents (less than 0.001 percent of first generation iPod nano units), which have been traced back to a single battery supplier. There have been no reports of serious injuries or property damage, and no reports of incidents for any other iPod nano model.
Any first generation iPod nano customers who have experienced their battery overheating should contact AppleCare for a replacement. Any other customers who have concerns about their first generation iPod nano battery should also contact AppleCare.” said Apple (via Cnet)
So looks like a good deal to those guys with the first gen iPod Nano, that is if you still have your iPods with you and haven’t thrown it out yet. I Still love my 2nd gen iPod Nano and I hope it won’t have problems like this.
