IPod Battery Replacement Service Chan

As of 7.8.05, Apple changed its iPod battery replacement service charge from $99 to $59.
Darn.....now i feel some regret from getting a Zen Micro, seeing as how the only reason i bought it was cuz its battery was only $40.

There is also a company named iPodResQ that for $64 will cover the cost of overnight shipping of your iPod, replacement of the battery and then overnight shipping back to you. This is well worth it. Having just bought an iPod one month ago, I don't plan on this service for at least two years or better. With this service you get your original back. If you opt to send it to Apple, they do NOT necessarily send you the same unit back.

Battery Replacement Service

I have a first generation 10gb Ipod. The battery doesn't hold a charge well. If I send the Ipod in for the battery replacement service, will I get a new/used/refurbished Ipod exactly like my current one, or a more recent generation Ipod?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the response. I'm sure they don't still make 1st generation Ipods, how would they send me a new/used/refurb 1st gen Ipod?

How do i get a shipping box for out-of-warranty ipod battery replacement?

i have signed up online to have my ipod battery replaced. the pod is out of warranty. the email reply only tells me to pack it well because apple won't deal with it if it is damaged in shipment. the only instructions i have found in my search at the apple site seem to deal with apple automatically sending the shipping package for in-warranty pods.
can anyone help?
thank you in advance,

Usually, it takes about a week from the moment you
request the box till you have the iPod back.
gee, apple acknowledged my request for a replacement on 0905, but i don't have a box yet.
i called my apple store, and they also said that apple would send me a box.
i just noticed that you said "from the moment you request the box." how do i request a box? i have only "ordered" the replacement battery -- apple terms it an "apple product replacement request."
i guess i am impatient, but i'm beginning to feel that i am in the middle of a kafka novel.
chris, can you think of anything else?
thanks.

Where should I take my ipod touch 4g for an official battery replacement service ?? btw I live in Jedddah, Saudi Arabia

Check iZone Stores near you. They are the only Apple reseller I know. You may check on them for a battery replacement.

Ipod battery replacement

I have a 1st gen 2Gb nano and the battery is well under the 50% and I would like to participate in the battery replacement program. If I take it in to my local store will they give me a 2nd or 3rd generation nano, or would they be able to find a 1st gen.

They won't replace it with a newer model that's for sure.
They'll likely send it away and you'll get another iPod of the same model.
You can do that on-line. Is it out of warranty?

Ipod battery replacement worries

I am having my old battery replaced at an apple store. What are the chances that I will lose my songs??? Appreciate a reply!!! Thank you. Jeff

Are the really replacing the battery in your iPod?
The usually replace your iPod with a refurbished one.
This
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
says
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No, you will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod and does not offer any data transfer service.
In any event I would backup the iPod and all media on the iPod

Apple iPod Battery Replacement Program Experiences.

Hello, as you all know apple offers the battery replacement program for 99 dollars (now sixty something dollars). For any of you that have tried it, can you please tell us all a little about how was your experience? did you get a better ipod or a worse one? a refurbished, used or new? scratched or perfect?
please leave a comment on how your experience was with Apple's battery replacement program even if it is a very small one.

I just received my refurbished iPod back yesterday. It looked like new! The engraving was on the back, just like the unit I sent in.
However, the reason I am on the forums today is that when I plugged it in to charge the new battery before synching, I received the familiar "battery with exclamation point" screen. So now I seem to have a clean, new or refurbished unit with the same old problem. Frustrating to say the least.

Apple's battery replacement service

I have an old 1st generation iPod with a drained battery. If I sent it to Apple to replace the battery, will they send me back my same iPod, or a different one of the same generation? My iPod is in nice condition & I wouldn't want a scratched up one in exchange.

Or you could save a lot of money and replace the battery yourself.

There are other sellers on eBay for batteries, so do a search yourself.
Here is a useful guide for how to do it.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-1st-Generation/90
On the first and second gen iPods, the battery is physically huge (three times the size of any of the later hard drive iPods). You can get high-capacity battery that is better than the OEM battery and it will play continuously for 24 hours or more.

IPod Battery Replacement Program

Hi Everyone,
My green iPod mini is now in need of a new battery. I read over the Battery Replacement FAQ, but I'm not sure how the condition of the iPod mini I recieve will be. So I guess I have a few questions.
Has anyone participated in this program that has had success getting a good iPod back?
What do they do with my old iPod?
Do they test it when they get it to see if it needs a new battery?
What do they send with the iPod? Or is it just the iPod itself?
Thanks,
Brian

Personally, I wouldn't recommend sending it to Apple for an out of warranty battery replacement.
You can get a new battery and do it yourself for ~$20.
Go to www.ipodjuice.com.
There are other places also. Google "iPod battery".
What do they do with my old iPod?
They repair it and use it as a replacement.
Do they test it when they get it to see if it needs a new battery?
Yes.
What do they send with the iPod? Or is it just the iPod itself?
Just the iPod.
They charge $$59, plus $6.95 shipping.
If the battery is good or the iPod is bad, they will return your iPod, refund the $59 and keep the shipping.

Battery replacement service request...

I did not realize I had not changed my email address to the current one I use now. I sent in a request to get the battery on my silver ipod mini replaced THEN changed my email address to my existing account. I can no longer access the old account but when I view the status on my repair (from the apple website) it says that it got my request. Is there anyway I can cancel the order and start over with the new email address or am I just stuck? Its been almost a month with no activity.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Call apple and see what they have to say...

Won't charge after ipod battery replacement

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
Battery replacements for iPod generation 1 (5 GB) and iPod Photo generation 4(?) (60 GB) did not work:
I bought replacement batteries from OWC (MacSales.com). Below is the invoice data from OWC for theses batteries. Since the swapping didn't work the first time, they sent me new batteries for free, but to no avail.
NWTBIPOD1350MPH
Apple iPod Photo 1350mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 5818602, replacement for S/N: 5554860
NWTBIPOD2200M12
Apple iPod 1G/2G 2200mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 3761061, replacement for S/N: 3761112
Neither the iPod Photo nor the iPod 1G would work after installing new batteries. The batteries were replaced by OWC, but even a new install with the new replacement batteries did not work. Both iPods worked fine after each installment with the batteries as long as there were some power left in the new batteries. As I recall, that would be about 2 hours. After the first complete charge of the batteries, the iPods seemed to work as expected, but after the second charge they both appeared completely dead. The charging was done with the chargers that came with the iPods. This is very odd, and it is hard to tell what the problem may be. I find it strange that this happens to both the 1. and 4. generation of iPods, as they are quite different, and so are the batteries, and the same thing happened after trying to swap batteries twice on both units.
Do you have any ideas as to what it may be that causes this?
If you know how I can get the iPods to work with the new batteries I would appreciate it. It is no option to buy new iPods. Economy doesn't permit it for the moment.
Best regards from
Guttorm Kittelsen
PS. The iPod 1 (5Gb) was bought at Office Line Mac & Carry (now Humac) in Oslo
        The iPod Photo 4 G (60Gb) was bought at the Apple store. (not the App Store)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

DIY iPod Battery Replacement on G3

I've had my G3 iPod for a few years now and shockingly the hard drive still works perfectly. But, the battery on the other hand, holds less charge than a candle. I bought a very cheap battery replacement kit online, but the tools included are so cheap they don't do a **** thing. How the **** do I open the iPod? Is there a good guide on the internet? I've seen a couple but they really don't go into any detail with photos and what not about how to really get the iPod opened up.

see if these help

Mini Ipod Battery Replacement Trouble

Hey guys,
I bought a ipod mini replacement battery from this site:
http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=prod&ref=EC003
I installed it carefully and everything just like the directions told me to and it looked great. But the only problem is the sound does not work, it works when i place it on one of my ipod music players but you cannot hear anything with it by itself and the headphones, and i know it is not the headphones because i checked it to make sure...
Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should do?
Mini Ipod (1st generation) Windows XP

1. You will get back an identical iPod (same generation, same engraving, same color).
2. The new iPod will be blank, so you'll have to put the sngs onto it through iTunes, like getting a new iPod.
I hope this helps!
By the way, it is a lot easier to read your post if you type normally, not in one very long sentence.

Ipod battery replacement program question

Once I return my battery-heating ipod nano (first gen), what ipod will it be replaced with? Thanks, just curious.

The current model.

I have been overcharged for an Ipod Classic replacement service?

Yesterday I have applied for the Apples Ipod replacement/repair service. I had confirmation that they had shipped the new replacement out but I have been charged both ($140 - which I agreed to pay for the cost of the service), but also $194 on top of that and had no confirmation on what that payment was for! Is this just a deposit so I will get it back when I ship my broken ipod classic to apple? Please someone respond as I am rather annoyed of this hidden payment. Thanks.

THERE NO LICENSE. I am paying for a one year membership (paid 10 months and have not add access to creative cloud) So I recently had to request a month trial period which I am currently using. Please explain that?! Can I please have a telephone number for the North Africa Middle East Region so that I can discuss this matter with someone? Why is this so difficult. For 10 moths I have heard different stories and today after insisting they send me the reply they promised me 1 month ago I revived this wishy washy response:
From: [email protected]
