Defective batte

I barly use my Nomad Zen Xtra and have only charged it about 4times since purchase.
I also noticed that I only get about 5hours of battery life even with EQ and backlight off. The song files I use vary from 28kb-320kb both WMA\MP3 (mostly mp3).
From the sticky I gather I should be getting anywhere from -5hours. So tell me do I have a defecti've battery unit's (And yes I did charge it fully when I first got it)
Thankyou.
Edit: Also when you sync and enable converting the file to the player (windows media 0) does it make it mp3 or wma? If WMA how do i change it to mp3. :\Message Edited by cs25230 on 2-02-2005 07:22 AMMessage Edited by cs25230 on 2-02-2005 07:22 AM

28kbit/s is already pretty low. I wouldn't go any lower than this if I were you.
You can have a look at my battery curves thread to see how much it is affected, but it's not dramatic. Copying to and from the player has a bigger effect.
I did leave it fully charged in a drawer for a couple of weeks and when I tried it the battery was dead. I hope I didnt damage it. :\
That's probably OK. MAKE SURE you have at least the latest v firmware (..0) as this improves several things related to the battery and charging.

  • Why does my iPod touch running iOS 8.1.2 drain very rapidly below half a battery and dies at roughly 10%? Wifi is off. So is location services, Bluetooth, etc.

    The battery on my iPod touch has been acting very weird and I don't know why. I just got this iPod two weeks ago for christmas. When the battery gets down to half a battery, weird things start to happen. The battery drops 15,20,25% in the matter of minutes. On top of this, my iPod touch always dies at 10%. Any battery-consuming feature is off so I can't explain what is happening. Is it a defective batter?

  • 6th Gen Nano Battery Life

    How much run time are you getting with your 6th Gen Nano?
    The tech specs state "up to 24 hours of play time."
    I'm getting less than 6 hours. I charge overnight and listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed. The screen display is off most of this time. I may pause it every 30 min or so, but the screen is "off" the vast majority of time.
    The unit is about a week old and only cycled 3 times.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I thought I had a defective batter as well, but I was wrong. I have been using the ipod throughout the day, starting in the Am with a full charge. At the end of the day, using it on and off, it would be about 20% or less. My thought was that I was probably only using it maybe 6 or 7 hours a day and that this is not what apple advertised. So I thought Id put it to the test. I was thinking that because I was changing albums by hand (using the LCD), checking song names occasionally, maybe using the lcd was a problem and draining the battery. So I looped a playlist and plugged it into my headphones and didn't touch it except for a couple times to quickly check the batter meter. It Gave up and quit at 16 hours. I thought for sure that I had a defective unit as thats 8 hours short of the 24 hours claimed. After reading an apple doc on how to extend battery life on Ipods, It mentioned that Turning off the EQ would extend the batter life. I also had another thought. The headphones I use are more DJ style and much larger. perhaps it takes more battery life to drive these things. So I Plugged in the Stock Apple Headphones and hit the reset button on the Ipod, which turned off the EQ and put the Ipod back to factory spec. After a re-run of the test, I got 31 hours and 15 minutes. This is a huge difference. So I guess My ipod is OK,and learned that the headphones I use, the abundant use of the interface screen, and using an EQ setting has a huge impact on batter life. Now I know, Hope this helps.

  • Cost of Replacing Defective goods.

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I am a frehser & given a task on to replacing defective goods if returned with in 6 months will be replaced with the free. as well as Billing for replacement print the bill.
    Can any please help me with detail configuration & what reports to be maintain.
    Point will be rewarded.
    Many thanks.
    Regards
    Rahul Chitte.

    HI,
    You can tackle this with normal sales scenario. Develop resturn sales document. Do copy control setting for the same.
    Now, develop new PP for the return document.In  that PP for the basic price  develop routine with the help of abaper. The logic should be that it should compare billing date with your return sales order creation date or system date. If the diff.is more than six months then baisc price should be zero.
    For invoice print manintain all setting  and records in NACE.
    Reward if useful
    Thanks,

  • Getting the run around from apple regarding my defective 4 month old MacBook.  What options do I have?

    Purchased a MacBook pro 4 months ago.  After 1 week, wavy lines showed up on the monitor and the genius bar deemed the "mother board" to be defective and a new MacBook was issued to me.  This Monday,  the monitor went blank and again brought it to the genius bar.  The tech stated the monitor had to be replaced and he could do it later that day.  Now it's three days later and the computer is still not fixed and another part has to be ordered which wont be in for another three days.
    Besides the awful communication Apple has shown me (waiting on hold for 20 plus minutes to get through to the genius bar) I am beyond appalled at the level of quality with the MacBook.  I realize Apple has a cult following but I have never owned a computer with so many problems, especially in the first 4 months.  I am loyal to Apple as I have both an iPad and an iPhone but this is definitely testing my loyalty.  My question to these readers is how can I address my concerns to Apple? 
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your help.

    It sounds like the store tried to do you a favor and it blew up in their face. In many stores, a screen replacement would be sent to a regional depot for repair. This takes shipping both coming and going, plus repair time in the depot.
    If they encountered an additional bad part, and had to order it in, that may take the quoted three days at the depot or at the store. Then additional Repair time.
    I think you have been very unlucky, but I don't think you are being abused.
    I remember when local repair places had rooms full of spare parts, but that is becoming less true in every business. ( I remember when people did not have computers in their homes, as well, but that is not helpful in this situation.)

  • Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT is defective on Dell laptops; what about Macs?

    http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/nvidiageforce_8600m_gt_is_defective_on_dell_laptops_what_aboutmacs/
    Dell will offer 12-month limited warranty enhancement to all worldwide customers of 15 laptops with defective Nvidia GPUs. These Dell laptops use nine models of graphic processor units, and only one of them is also used on MacBook Pro models (15 and 17 inch models), sold from mid-2007 to now.
    It’s the GeForce 8600M GT. What is Apple doing for these customers, and why Nvidia doesn’t say the name of all defective models?

  • Iphone 5 batt draining like mad after ios 6.1.2

    Hi Guys,
    I am experiencing seriously bad batt life after upgrading to ios 6.1.2. I really regretted upgrading. Batt life was fine with ios 6.0. After this stupid update, my phone is losing like 10% batt every 1 hr of use. I am seriously very disappointed with Apple. If this is the kind of crap they give to their customers, i am seriously considering a switch to an android phone. For those who have not upgraded their os, please DONT upgrade. I have give up believing in Apple and their claims of upgrades being able to fix problems... because with each upgrade, things will only get worse.
    Adwordh

    Any way to prove this problem guys? This battery problem is driving me crazy...

  • Incompetent CS ignores you, lock your call/case or sends defective parts : What should i do?!

    Hello. I live in France and the Lenovo CS (same line for all europe i guess) has always been poor in terms of communication (title says incompetent but autistic would be a better word for the case..). Apparently i'm far from being the only one feeling so, but now it reached another level :
    Since the begining i had my Thinkpad, it had many strange powering related issues, many. They often told me i could have the motherboard replaced, but i refused cause i didn't felt safe with it. Now that warranty was coming to an end, i thought about it and was like "come on, let's go for it" even though i still didn't felt safe about it..
    I also had trouble with the fan making strange noise at times. They actually sent a fan to me a year ago but it wasn't the right FRU, i just let go on that at this time. Now, since i was going to get the motherboard replaced (they agreed) i told them to please send back the fan, reminding them it was supposed to be changed.
    As said i do not feel safe when someone has to tear appart my unit, i'd rather do it myself. So i said, please change the parts all at once. That's when it got complicated. They refused to change the fan. Even though i sent them back their automatic mail showing that part was sent back in time (that's what they asked). From there it was just hell :
    [Just so you know, i have Day+1 on site warranty] Not only they ignored mails but also tried shortening the call, telling me to "keep calm and wait" in a very rude way. From there, since emails were ignored, i called back from time to time, only to get repeated "WAIT" with no communication possible and calls most often hanging in the end.
    The last person i had, being nicer, told me they had a problem in their system and couldn't communicate with the tech guys. But her speech became unclear and it appeared clearly it was bull**bleep**. She also surprisingly told me the fan was now included in the repair..!
    At that point it's been more than a week of waiting, i asked around if somebody by chance would have an IBM tech phone number (since they're the people doing the repair). Someone kindly sent me one and it worked. I called him next day and he answered.
    Talking to the IBM tech, he first told me they had absolutely no communication issue and after looking at my case/call, immediatly mentionned it was locked. He wrote something to IBM and told me to call him back the next day. So i did and since nothing changed, he kindly did what the CS is supposed to do, he set and appointment.
    A tech came next day (that's what Day+1 is supposed to be). Guess what? They sent wrong fan again. Hard to believe it's a mistake again. Anyways, the motherboard replacement took place without much trouble. I then waited for the tech to come back with the fan. But the CS is still being what it is :
    Just before the tech came for the MB replacement, i called CS just to make sure they know what's going on. The lady said "great, hope all works for you after!" so i thought hell's over. But after the tech did his work and left, having a little issue (now resolved) i called back CS and this time the lady was again like "WAIT" she didn't even know the tech came!
    You never know when if they're lying. But i guess they do a lot. After the MB was replaced, i noticed trackpad/touchpad had issues. But that quickly came back. I also noticed the GPU was overheating (temps were already high before). The new fan was making more annoying noise. I just asked them to change it. But no, their super IT decided to change the CPU..
    I told them over and over it was the GPU overheating, not CPU. But they insisted; Tech came with new CPU which WASN'T brand new (it's supposed to be). It was refurbished.. Wait, it said "certified reutilized" no idea what that means..? Unfortunatly the issue with ultranav came back and this time stayed dead, the fingerprint was also dead. So the tech came back.. Whilh testing, he did reset the bios, which sets graphics to optimus. I always use discrete only.
    That's when we discovered a new issue : the integrated graphic is totally defective, screen flash on/off every 5sec or so and then system freeze..! So in the end, ALL parts they replaced were having much worse trouble then original one! And replacing the CPU for a defective one may be intentional.. Since the warranty end, they may think i'll buy a new one after this one dies.. Sorry but you're wrong!
    What the hell Lenovo, you can't even communicate with your collegues..? It's shocking when the IBM tech talk to them, it's like they don't believe what he says. Or don't understand.. Since their level is SO LOW. My warranty now got only 10 days remaining.
    I don't know if/when they're going to decide to do something. They now regularly ask me to send back the whole unit to them. No way, i won't do that. Thinkpads are great but warranty is crap, be careful when buying expensive on site extensions.
    As you know, parts are guaranteed 3 months after they get changed, even your warranty ends before. But seeing how they act, I'm now very worried, it seems i can only rely to the IBM tech, which unfortunatly have no power/rights here.
    I know there are some Lenovo staff here, hope they'd say a word. Even though i'm in Europe, this is global lenovo forum... There is apparently NOT A SINGLE WAY to complain to a higher level in this company.

  • My macbook pro was defective from the beginning. what to do?

    I bought my macbook pro about 4 yrs ago in my college year, and right after I found out there was some weird noise being made while the laptop was running.
    And compared to my school mates' macbook, mine got easily heated up and had a loud noise while running.
    So I took it to my school tech department and they said since its warranty is effective, why don't I go to apples, and so I did.
    At first, at the genius bar, a technician said it will cost me 400 and i was struck with shock ..
    fortunately, the technician found out that the laptop was defectively manufactured from the factory from the beginning and I was free of the fixing charge.
    However, my macbook pro's got a new problem. The screen goes black while running. I can hear the computer running but the screen is total pitch black.
    I went to apple store again to the genius bar to ask for the fixing fee.- It was 300 bucks for fixing it and they said there was a problem with
    the computer's logic board whatever. I bought the laptop for 1200$ and they are asking me for 1/4 of the price the laptop.
    The genius bar asked me if I ever dropped the laptop or left it somewhere near water whatever. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT and the laptop was
    sitting on my loveseat in my room and when I came back from work and turned it on to get on internet...it didn't turn on.
    What am I supposed to do?
    I am so upset bc I have a paper to turn in for the beginning fo the next month, but since I can't afford to fix the computer, I am totally at a loss.
    I bought the laptop at Bestbuy when there was the event going on, which if you buy a mac, it comes with an ipod 2nd gen.
    When I bought it, there was a lil scratch like thin on top of the cover of the laptop, but I just thought like
    it will get a scratch while using it anyway and i just let it go and I bought a cute plastic cover for that laptop.
    If I knew that that was something like a defective product, I wouldn't have bought it or exchanged it with a new one.
    Where do I complain about this? whom do I talk to? why does apple distribute defective products to customers and make us to pay so much money to fix it after the warranty is done?
    Apple should be responsible for this.
    For someone like me, who's a poor student who can't get anymoney from anywhere (I am being supported by my church), what am I supposed to do?
    I want a responsible answer from Apple.
    or if anyone knows how I should deal with this, please answer me.
    I am really at a loss and desperate due to my financial situation. Thank you.

    I had a very similar issue.  I am not sure which machine you have.  I purchased 2 MacBook Pro's mid 2010 2.66ghz.  One is dead the other failing.  I am with you, you shouldn't have to purchase an extended warranty on a premium product.  I have seen a lot of posts on this subject.  Seattle Rex took Apple to court last year over the same issue and won in small claims court.
    http://www.seattlerex.com/seattle-rex-vs-apple-the-verdict-is-in/
    I am sure a class action lawsuit is not far off.  It is fraudulent to sell a product that is known to be defective.  I purchased my laptops from Apple.com in 2011 after the testing program had already started.  From what I can deduce the logicboard and Lion do not get along.  CNET has several articles on this issue.  Here is the notice from Apple that is very hard to find.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Here is an article from CNET

    Maverick is supposed to help but for me that is a day late and $4000 dollars short. 
    If you do bring your laptop in, print out the notice.  The guys and gals at the Genius Bar will not know about this issue.  They tried to sell me a new MLB too as well as trying to wipe my hard drive.  Good luck, I hope this helps.

  • Defective t440s and the worst customer support I've ever received

    2 months ago I purchased a t440s that arrived defective. Notably, the screen was the upgraded FHD IPS panel. My unit came with the LG model, which is notorious for being defective. The screen had bad viewing angles (its main selling point...), about 1.5 inches of light bleed along the bottom, and significant yellow tinting outside of a medium-sized circle in the middle of the screen. Additionally, the trackpad was too far left in its housing and would ocassionally *get stuck beneath the case* and ALWAYS scrape against it.
    After waiting 3 weeks for my laptop to arrive, I requested a repair after owning it for 2 days and sent in my laptop-- at the end of September. I didn't receive any updates on the status of my repair until several days ago. I was unable to answer the call and the voicemail Lenovo left only said that my repair was pending. After attempting to contact support myself and being placed on hold for absurd lengths of time, I gave up.
    Earlier today I received another call. The rep told me that my laptop wouldn't be able to BEGIN being repaired until November 24th, at the very least. This is due to a backorder on replacement screens. I'm assuming that's because they're having to replace more than just a few.
    The rep offered to have my laptop swapped with a new unit, yet I'll have to speak with another person who won't be calling me until "sometime next week" to actually have this done.
    The girl I spoke with to initially request my repair was very kind and knowledgeable. Everything following that has been unacceptable at best.
    I purchased from Lenovo after being told by numerous peers that their quality was legendary across the board. I don't think I'll ever purchase another Lenovo product in my life and I will definitely try to dissuade anyone from making the same mistake I did.
    You suck, Lenovo. You really **bleep**ed me here.

    I gotta say that when I was dealing with customers services I thought they were fantastic, and this was back in June. Now my player has sadly broken again...ugh...twice in a year...which is making me consider just buying something else, I know all mp3 players are reportedly like this, but its just not right... ...and I'm pretty sure Creative just have a big warehouse of faulty Zen's which they put all the faulty ones in when they get returned, and then they just pick up another one and send it out to you. I also find it ridiculous that there is no telephone support for everyone...which would solve alot of problems... I sent Customer Support an e-mail, so when should I hear back? My Zen doesn't charge properly, and for the past couple of days any time i turn it on it just freezes...Message Edited by Kid-Eternity on 2-0-200608:23 AM

  • Verizon Galaxy Nexus - Defective Charging Port

    Bought my Galaxy Nexus in April of 2012, along with insurance on the phone. Love the phone and the pure Android experience. However, back in February, I woke up one morning and noticed that even though my phone was plugged in, the battery was not charging. I tried using different cords and my spare battery, neither fixed the issue, which meant that the charging port on the phone was defective. I brought it to a VZW store, and since the issue occurred within a year of purchasing the phone, they sent me a certified pre-owned galaxy nexus as a replacement (They had to send me three replacement phones total because the first two would not boot properly, but that's a different story.)
    So here I am, 5 months later, and I woke up one morning and discover the same issue. Phone is plugged in (using the original charger that come with the original phone by the way), but it is not charging. Won't charge with a different cord, won't charge with a different battery, which means that the port is defective. I take the phone to the Verizon store, and am informed that A) my year-long warranty has run out, so if I want to replace the phone I will have to pay full retail price for it, and B) The default insurance plan on these phones only covers cracked screens or lost devices. The VZW support rep actually suggested that I damage the screen on the phone before sending it to the insurance company, because otherwise they would send it back and refuse to replace it.
    So to recap, Verizon sold me a defective device, replaced it with another defective device, and now in order to fulfill the remaining nine months of my contract with them, I will have to purchase another device at full retail value. That's $600-$700 I'm expected to pay just to continue adhering to the terms of my contract. For now, I went on amazon and bought an external battery charger which I now have to carry with me at all times, which is an unacceptable solution for the next nine months. Surely there has to be a better option?

    This is the same problem I had in the past and Samsung fixed the phone
    under warranty. Since a warranty is only 1 year and not the length of the
    contract it doesn't help anymore.  I do not have insurance and the phone
    has never been wet.  I have to wiggle the port or reset something on the
    connect to have it charge properly.  Verizon was unwilling to help me the
    last time I had this issue since I purchased the phone new from Amazon.  I
    would appreciate it if you could help.

  • How do I get Apple to stand behind their warranty and replace my defective computer? The hard drive has been replaced twice, the track pad once, and other hardware issues. Can anyone help me so I can get Apple to replace my defective

    My computer has been a lemon. They refuse to properly diagnose, fix, and document my complaints regarding the multiple failures I have had with this computer. Also, I was told that upon my logic board being replaced back in April or May that the topic of replacing the computer altogether with one of equal equipment would be appropriate. Insofar, I have been to the store at least three times in the past month to discuss my issues with the computer that were not resolved when the hard drive was replaced in May. I was also told that the repairs on my system would be good for up to 90 days after the repair work was done and that I could buy AppleCare at the end of the 90 days in lieu of insuring a product that still had defects. I have been on the phone for what feels like hours with Apple trying to work this issue out but they are not wanting to stand behind their product nor are they willing to stand behind their warranty. The warranty expressly states that a computer can be replaced entirely if the defect is considered hardware malfunction and at the representative’s discretion. Every time I brought it in for repair it was due to hardware malfunction; however, they also said once that it was an accessory that I bought that was causing the problem which ended up not being the case after all. This is totally unacceptable. I also asked Mark from AppleCare to let me know what was repaired the second time the computer was put through a diagnostic at the Apple Store. Beachballs, Gears, excessive heat, not being taken seriously at the Apple Store, being insulted by a Mac Genius at the Apple Store, being misinformed by a Mac Genius, dealing with a misinformed Mac Genius. They replaced my iPod touch without much ado.  I was also accused by an Apple Genius of being "hyperbolic." He said this in response to my complaint of the computer melting--literally--items on my computer desk. I am either wanting a refund of my money or a replacement of my laptop. Also, I have lost an incredible amount of data on my computer due to the hard drive being replaced x 2. Not acceptable. Also, the Apple store is 1 hour from where I live. I am currently looking for employment and additionally have a legal case pending where I am the plaintiff. I have lost VERY important documents in both matters which has caused an extreme amount of stress. I do not need the added stress of an unreliable and unsafe computer. I also have been waiting for a call back from Kelly (left two voice messages with Kelly) and Mark (wrote an e-mail for which he has not responded to insofar) at Apple but have heard nothing from either one of them regarding the status of my computer. The only thing I received which was automated by the Apple Store was a confirmation that my computer was ready. I have requested documentation of what was done (basically, I am asking for the receipt) before I drive an hour to pick it up. Haven't heard anything. I brought this computer in on July 24, 2011. We are now upon August 2nd. When do I get to know what was even done on my computer? Do they really think that I am going to take back a computer into my possession only to have to bring it back shortly thereafter to address one of the many issues causing it to malfunction in the first place? I have owned 5 computers  since 1988. All of them PCs. This is my first Mac. Will it be my last?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Defective Song Tracks Since iTunes 10.5 (also, recently purchased songs/albums are not showing up in purchased area for redownload purposes)

    Last night I purchased the new Coldplay album from the iTunes store on my PC (as opposed to the iPad or iPhone). 2 of the 14 song files are defective (my bad ones are tracks 2 and 3). Those two play music for about the first 20 or 30 seconds of the track and then skip immediately to the next track. I had the same problem last week with two other albums I purchased from the iTunes store (also on my PC like last night). In those cases, I simply went to the "Purchased" quick link area and found everything I had just purchased. I deleted the defective files and then redownloaded them without a hitch. The replaced files now play fine.
    However, the Coldplay album does not show up in my "Purchased" section (not last night or this morning when I rechecked). I am unable to redownload the defective files. I am doubly disturbed by this. For one, I have never had defective music downloads up until iTunes 10.5 and now I've had them on the three albums I've downloaded since. Two, now the "redownload music from the iCloud" function is not working for the most recent purchases. Perhaps this is true of all music purchased from iTunes over the past few days for everybody? Most people are probably mentioning Coldplay here on the boards because it's the hot new album. Note that this apparently is not affecting iOS apps, because my recent (within 24 hours) apps do show up in the purchased area.
    It's very frustrating, because I want to sync this new Coldplay album with my iPhone so I can listen to it and I hate to have to transfer an incomplete album to it. My OCD-like nature gets to me sometimes. Part of me wants to just repurchase the two defective song files and hope that Apple won't charge me twice.

    LOL!!! I had checked iTunes before writing this and the music was not there. I check after writing and now it has shown up. It took iTunes about 12 hours to do it though.
    Last week, the music I purchased showed up immediately.
    I guess iTunes is just not working as effeciently as it did last week. Could still be a bug or maybe just swamped servers? However, the problem that is most annoying to me right now is that all the music I have downloaded since iTunes 10.5 has contained defective tracks that needed to be redownloaded. I do not recall that ever occuring before.

  • No guarantee for defect left audio, bcs of waterdamage made long ago

    Hello everyone,
    the left side of my headphones doesn't work well.
    It works fine if you turn and switch a bit and then lay it down if it works. But you have to leave it almost untouched, which is quite difficult if your riding a bike or walking.
    Now is the problem that Apple refuses guarantee. Why?
    Well, in the end of July this year, I was stupid and spoiled some water on my Touch 2G. _I am sure that my problem is not caused by waterdamage._ I will try to teel you while. I give a short summary of things happened till my audioproblem.
    {{{First my iPod worked fine, except of some waterspots and a strip on my screen.. I was totally happy. But after two days it wouldn't load. Then I was on holiday so I couldn't have contact with apple support. On 24 august I emailed, just for try, and received answer that Apple could nothing do for me, and I accepted it because it was my own fault. My touch díd still work, but when I set it asleep, it wouldn't wake up, till its batterie was fully empty so I could load it.
    But as a miracle, the iPod started recovering till fully healthy, the only thing that is still wrong, was the screen that still had some dirty spots.}}}
    By the way, my liquidindicator is only for 2/5 red, does this say something?
    About the 3rd week of october, my headset gave the described problem. I thought my headset was broken and the shop where I bought my headphones replaced them, which took some time too. The day before yesterday I mailed an Applestore and told about the audioproblem and the waterdamage which I considered to have nothing to do with. I still received the answer it could be corrosion.
    I think this is totally ridiculous. At first, it was only a bit water.
    (I am not sure if the indicator at 2/5 approves this, or my indicator is just a bit deviant)
    My iPod worked fine over one month long, till the audioproblem.
    If corrosion was damaging my iPod, why did my iPod recover, but my audioport started to give suddenly problems after 2,5 month?
    Very striking: When I had to mention the kind of problem I had to specify my problem from >Repair< / Replace >>> swithches and buttons / Power / >Sound< / Screen >>> and then choose from 8 options, including _I hear only sound at one side (left or right) while playing._
    They seem to be familiar with this problem. What could actually cause this problem?
    And if it was corrosion, wont the other side be defective too or got defective in one month?
    And the most important question: Ain't that time too long to really damage stuff and even still so suddenly?
    Thank you all

    I mean; one defective audio channel is a quite specific problem; (I think it's a too specific problem to be caused by waterdamage), but though the service-requestpage of Apple has placed it in the list of common sound problems. People that have water damage usually have more than one problem on their iPod, so why would people with water damage go to that very specific problem (not even to 'no sound at all-problem' but to 'one defective channel-problem)
    I think I mean its just thát one thing that is wrong. And (all) people with waterproblems won't ever go to that specific problem if they request service.
    So ór I am a miraculous exception, ór it's caused by something else then waterdamage.
    I dont really know how to express it, or maybe it just isnt an argument, but I feel something like there's an argument in it. Can anyone maybe word it better or say I'm talking nonsense?
    (But please stay on my main-article)
