Its not only you. My friend had the same problem. He had iPod 20 GB (not the color one). He had few more weeks until the warranty expired so he sent it to Apple for repair etc. He got it back but the problem was still there. This happened like 2-3 times. Jab uss ne thora ghussa dikhaya, they replaces his ipod with a 30GB color ipod which he sold for $250 without even using it. If your warranty expires, then it becomes kinda hard and expensive to get the iPod repaired. Don’t know what’s the exact amount since I just sold mines without get it fixed.
How much did they say they’ll charge you (in total)?
