iPod Shuffle Defect
The newest 2G iPod Shuffle comes with a convenient clip attached for consumers to, as the commercials demonstrate, clip onto the pocket of a pair of pants.
That may seem like a relatively simple and convenient concept, but there’s one small problem. The clip bends like cardboard if you don’t detach it before sitting down or standing up.
While the bent clip does not affect the ability of the iPod to play music, it does make the shuffle impossible to put into it port to charge it or connect to a PC. So in other words, the bent clip renders the iPod Shuffle completely useless.
Apple has not yet commented on repairing the clips of broken shuffles free of charge. However, several “kindly” third parties are developing a new USR Key port attachment, which will connect the defective shuffles to PC’s.
i’ve dropped it, worn in on my collar, my jeans, my shirt and it’s pretty sturdy. that said, as technology becomes smaller and lighter, people have got to realize things aren’t indestructable! i mean, i’ve broken an SD card, but i didn’t write Sandisk and complain that it wasn’t made out of hard enough material. people just need to take responsibility. no wonder we have those dumb warnings like “do not use when wet” on hair dryers and “caution, hot” on hot coffee.
I was able to fix the bent clip. See TychoUnder.com/blog
I just got mine and loaded songs but it doesn’t work. It keeps blinking the lights that mean that there’s nothing on there to play. Help! Now I have to worry about bent clips too?
