Third gen battery replacement claim for UK

Hi there,
Apologies if this question has been asked before - i have looked without much success in other postings - is the class action lawsuit for replacement of third generation batteries (the one discussed at http://www.appleipodsettlement.com/) applicable to UK ipod owners?
Thanks in advance for all your help - i don't think i can cope with the temporamental battery for much longer!

You can try restoring the iPod. However, it could be that the battery is going bad.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished onewith a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen Battery Replacement?

I have a 32 Gig Ipod Touch 2nd Gen, bought it when it first game out. Battery has been really poor lately and I took it to the Apple Store to see what I can do. They told me that they don't do battery replacements, just replace the whole unit. I said fine, until they came back from their computer and told me that it would cost me $250! I was pretty shocked, they just smiled and said, well they are trying to encourage people to drop their old units and buy new ones.
Anyways, $250.00 to replace a battery that should cost no more than $50.00 as per any other battery I've every replaced is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. With that said, does anyone know of any options to get my battery replaced, a good place I can send it in to, I'd like to get a "GOOD" battery not some cheap unit that will die on me quick.
Comment to Apple, I don't mind paying a little extra to replace the unit with a new battery but $250 is absolutely absurd, and to hear a comment on a perfectly good unit that Apple is charging a lot to encourage people to buy newer gens is very upsetting. I was eventually planning on getting a 64Gig version but at the cost, it's just not worth it to know that these items are just disposible once the battery dies! I hope you consider changing your policy in the future to something more reasonable. However old it is, any other product I have costs me a few dollars to replace the battery and I get good use out of it for a very long time!
Thanks

In the USA, Apple would charge $79 plus shipping for battery replacement:

3rd gen battery replacement and life after

After 3 years, the battery on my 20GB 3rd Gen iPod is finally failing. I'm stuck between sending it in for battery replacement or just buying a new iPod.
For those of you who have sent in a 3rd gen for replacement--how was your experience with the replacement iPod? Did you get the same 3-4 years generally expected from the model, or did it deteriorate faster? Is it worth the $65 , or should I just suck it up and spend more on a brand new iPod?

By all means replace it! The 3G is a great device if what you want to do is play music!
Yes, if you do it yourself and fail to follow the instructions by popping the right side first, you can and will rip the ribbon cale to the headphones. But that's why one should follow instructions or have a pro do it
Should you send it in to Apple for the $65 job? That's up to you. There are 3rd party folks who will do it for less or will use a better battery. I replaced my own with a higher capacity battery, and have wonderful play time. One company I've dealt with is iPodResQ. I'm not making any money from this recommendation, just voicing my approval of the quality and price of their parts and services.
Look around, google 3G iPod battery replacement, read the instructions. If you feel uncomfortable with them, then get a pro to do it.
I've has several folks want to buy my 3G from me because of its distinctive appearance. Seems it's already "retro", and therefore cool. So why ditch it because of the battery? If that's the only reason you are thinking of replacing it, then don't. Benefits of the 3G include the fact that Dynamic playlists still work on them, unlike newer models that traded that function for the benefit of podcasting. That alone is enough for me to keep mine.
For the record, I own a 15GB 3G that is my go everywhere workhorse, and a 40GB 4G that goes with me on trips with most of my library. I like the 3G more.

Battery Replacement Programme for Geniuses

On 05-Oct-2014, I attended to my Genius Bar reservation at Zorlu Center Apple Store in Istanbul-Turkey
which had been hardly arranged after 5 days of trying. I made that reservation because it is stated
on the Apple Support site that for some iPhone 5's whose serial number match for the battery replacement
programme are going to be their batteries replaced for free. So, my "Genius" Bar reservation went as follows..
The Apple Genius guy came with an iPad in his hand and verified that my iPhone's serial number is suitable
for the programme. After that the Genius did some fancy things on my iphone and sent the usage/configuration
information of my iphone to himself over network. After that he said me that my iphone's battery is in healthy
condition and they won't be replacing my battery at all!! But when I said that my phone turns off without warning
when its battery is 40% full, he first said that I have to close some application configurations and features of
the iOS and then it will be OK, but I showed him that I have already closed many of them yet I am facing the same
issue with my phone. Lastly, he said 'You are right that may be the case with you.. In this case you have to
restore your iphone using iTunes from a backup which DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY APPLICATIONS, then you will see the
GAIN in the battery life of your phone'. A really stupid answer that humiliates my IQ.
From now on, I won't be using any Apple phones again. I bought my iphone 5 because of the fact that I liked
my wife's iphone 4.

Fly back to the USA and make a Genius Bar appointment. Or if you know someone in the USA ship it to them and have them take it in.

Does Apple offer battery replacement programs for older generation ipods?

Hi, I was wondering if they offer the service for a 5.5g 80gb ipod. If they do, would they replace it with another 5.5g 80gb ipod? If they don't, I will hate the company since I got my ipod for less than 2 years and the battery is almost completely dead.

I was wondering if they offer the service for a 5.5g 80gb ipod.
Yes they do have the service but it's far cheaper to go somewhere else (ipodresq.com or ipodjuice.com) or do it yoursself.
If you really want Apple to do it (~$60 vs. ~$20 DIY), go here -> https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
If they do, would they replace it with another 5.5g 80gb ipod?
No, they would replace your battery and send you the same iPod back.
If they don't, I will hate the company
What are you, 13?

Laptop battery replacent needed for ZD8000

I have a HP ZD8000 and need to buy a replacement battery. Unfortunately, the battery does not fall under the HP battery recall program and HP does not have a direct replacement for it listed on their site. Not sure how that one works. They must be outsourcing.
Anyhow, I've never had to purchase a replacment battery and would like get recomendations for a reputable company that makes a quality replacement. It's a 14.8V 6600mAHr Li-ion battery.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

That is a bit older laptop and I have found eBay to be a generally reliable source of laptop batteries for older systems. There are three types of batteries sold there: "knock-offs" which are generally made in China, old stock of "new" genuine HP batteries, and used batteries. Except for very old units for which there is no choice I stay away from used. Knock-offs have some risk of defects but they are cheaper and actually can hold a better charge than real batteries since the manufacturers use current model cells. Old stock of genuine batteries cost more, but are going to be fully compatible. Batteries do lose some strength just sitting on the shelf, however. Find an eBay seller with very high positive feedback, of which there are many who sell batteries for laptops. Keep in mind that shipping from China can take two weeks, so try to look for one being shipped from the U.S.
$30 knock-off
$35 used
$43 "new"
The zd8000 battery is the same guts as several other models like the zv5000, etc. You may have to swap out the plastic cover plate on the bottom of the battery. It might be glued in place so be persistent.

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.

Warranty/ battery replacement program settlement

I sent in a form last year for the battery replacement program for my ipod and have received no word back. Has anyone else ran into this?

Why don't you call the class action administrator. The phone number is listed in the papers you were given.

HT1476 Is it possible to have an iPhone4 battery replaced?

I have an iPhone4, and the charge lasts for about 30 minutes of web surfing. Does Apple offer a battery replacement service for iPhone4? I thought it did, but then the links were for iPods.
Also, I'm considering switching to a Samsung phone in the future since it has a removable battery. However, if iPhone5 offers a battery replacement service, then I would potentially buy another iPhone. Does Apple offer a battery replacement service for iPhone5?

Apple offers battery replacement for all the iPhones they support. For information and pricing, see the Battery Replacement section here:

IPad Air battery replacement.

Realizing that this is an issue for the future. Do we anticipate that Apple will support the eventual replacement for a fee, when the battery of the iPad Air wears out. I have read about how difficult it will be to DIY. This info might have a bearing on whether to get one or not.

No reason to think that Apple will not offer battery replacement service for the iPad Air.

Can you actually claim for headphones replacement?

I'm in the UK and I've been trying to use Online Service Assistant to claim for malfunctioning earphones (with remote) according to Apple replacement program. But every try ends right after submiting all details, delivery, billing address and paycard details with "+Your request can't be finished at this moment, please try later...+"
I have no Apple Store anywhere near around, so *what else I can do to get this headphones replaced*? I got proper Serial Number, my Shuffle is out of coverage, but that can't be a problem as everything with online forms goes well until the very last submit.
*Anyone else is having this problem?*

Recently purchased the 3rd Generation iPod Shuffle (Not a serial number included in the replacement program). I have not been able to get through one workout with this product without it failing due to moisture. I bought this shuffle to replace a Nano that never failed during a workout but required the use of an armband. There is clearly something wrong with this product as this is the first iPod, Walkman, Rio, Portable CD player I've ever had that failed during a workout. I was drawn to the small size and I assume most others also purchased this product for exercising. I have also tried both the Belkin Adaptor ($20) and the iLuv Adaptor ($10) and both failed during the first workout as well... usually about 30 minutes before it flakes out. Do not buy this product if you intend to use it exercise with! This is a lemon and should be avoided.
