If you still have one of the 1st Gen Nano's Apple are offering a replacement due to possible battery issues
See the info at this link

I have registered one that I still had and it looks like Apple are going to send a box for it to be returned in and will send me a new Nano in replacement

Me too.

Will they send a refurbed 1st Gen or a new Nano ?

Will you have to pay ?

Banzai ! Gamble now !

Cheers, result
Just added mine which has sat unused in a drawer for the last 2 years since I bought an iPhone.

Another one here,

Me too. I think they send you a new nano, which is much smaller with a touch display. (Why am I explaining? You can use Google).

I quite like my old one though, it is the smallest I can own anything of without losing it!

But I qualify!

(I once got a recall from a ebay company for a safety notice on a HDD IDE to USB with separate power. Thing is the thing was only a few quid and it was really useful, and I was using it at the time. So I ignored it. Then one day, whilst I was using it, it caught fire. Actual fire, not just a wisp of smoke but burst into (very small) flames. I unplugged it and it went out. It is perhaps not my greatest anecdote. I feel it lacks an ending.

Bugger! I had one then gave it to Alan when I got my iPhone, then he dropped it in the bath and I have no idea where it is now! Going to have a hunt over the weekend I think!

Like for Like according to this.

Probably takes 6 weeks turnaround to give them time to replace the batteries in returned units and then send them out as replacements

Anyway, thanks for the heads up and I have a fully working and charged iPod Nano 1st Generation which luckily hasn't burst in to flames yet. Registered for the replacement

I still have an original iPod Shuffle which is working fine (just like all my Apple stuff), hope its battery is Ok.

Yep just re-read this and I think you're right. I want an old one - I don't like the new one I'd lose it.

My old nano stopped working after I forgot to take it out of my swimmers before running into blue waters of St Lucia...

According to serial numbers I qualify .. if they open it up I doubt I'll get anything in return

My missus and I got them the first day they came out in the states but our serial numbers are not in the range....boooooooo

Return packaging arrived yesterday, IPod packed and sent away.

Just remembered about this - Mrs B's is elegible

My friend done this and got told by Apple that it would be a refurb'd 1st gen that he would get back.

Posted mine back to Apple on the 28/11/11 According to tracking its still being progressed through the Royal Mail!!!! Anybody else sent one back and has Apple received it?

Mine is missing too Ian!

It was posted to the repair centre on 22 Nov and, as of 5 mins ago, "is being progressed through our network for delivery"

Since I had expected a response within 2 days I contacted Apple Customer Support on 1 Dec.
They suggested that I send them a scanned copy of "proof of posting" after which I got the following mail -

"I submitted your proof of postage to our escalations team.They are in process of issuing you a replacement unit at this point in time.
I will let u know as soon as your replacement unit is on the way,it might take a couple of weeks though."

Might be worth giving them a call.
