Need some ipod help.

[Yvet]

Emiel's Ipod is almost dead.

Sometimes it just ran out of battery even when it was just full a minute ago and even an empty battery when it came off the electricity just 5 minuts ago.
Also it get stuck every other minute. If he wants to listen to it 7 out of 10 times it gets stuck and we have to reset the hole thing....

It's an olttimer it is a ipod mini 8gb.
After one year i already behaved like this.
It was mine first but i threw that thing in a corner as soon as i bought a zune for replacement.

Now i have heard that when you go to an apple store when there are problems with an ipod you can buy a new one with some discount.
Does anybody also have heard this and can anybody tell me if this is thru???

I've definitely not heard that speaking from a UK perspective - would doubt it anyway, Apple like money and DO advise you that the battery will last X amount of charges.
However I'm pretty sure you can send it off to Apple to get a new battery fitted, but for what it would cost I would go for a new Nano with the mini being a very old model

It's not only the battery but also that it gets stuck every single minute you use it.... And then you have to reset the ipod again and again.
