One month ago, I offered a customized pink iPod mini to my sister for her birthday. Everything was fine but few days ago, the iPod mini started to sounds poorly like listening music under water. Worse, sometimes you could only hear music without lyrics. Knowing Apple, I was very sceptical about an hardware failure but after several atempts to reset the iPod, I had to change my mind. Looking at the Internet about the fault description, I found out that is a known issue with iPod minis. Apparently a problem with the sound board that may happen if the iPod drops on the floor. Hmm, my iPod is brand new and was never shocked. Anyway, I have to return it to Apple, it’s still under garantee and I hope they’ll change the whole unit.

UPDATE (22th August) I’ve got my iPod back for one week now and everything works fine. It took a couple of weeks for the fix but that’s great.
