Sorry if somebody has posted advice about this already; I searched and couldn't find a thread. I'll be happy to go read anything if somebody will just point me to it.
I'm wondering if anybody purchased a 4G iPod from HP when they were partnered with Apple, if their experience went sour, and if they were able to find any relief.
I bought my 40 gig 4G iPod from HP in February '05. The hard drive in that one failed, and they sent me a new one in August '05. Then the clickwheel on that one failed, and they send me another new one in December '05. Now, in March of '06, 12 days after the 90-day warranty on the December placement ran out and about 30 days after the year warranty on the original one I bought has run out, the hard drive has failed again.
Neither HP or Apple want to take any responsibility for my displeasure. I might as well have taken the $400 and tossed it in the garbage for as much pleasure as I've managed to get out of my iPod. I'm sad I gave up my old Archos brick, which worked perfectly for five years, for what I thought was better technology. Lame.
Has anybody else had the same experience as me? Did you get any relief? I'd love to know. Thanks
