A little bit tilted?

You know, I was actually hoping that my screen tilt issue wasn't a common fault but it looks like it is,I've just returned a silver 4Gb nano 3G to the Apple Store in Lakeside, UK and have just powered up the replacement unit at home...... guess what
Same tilt.
Week 44 unit and a tilt that is gonna wind me up now as I know it's there. Looks like when I get time I will have to go back and make them turn the next one on BEFORE I leave the store 😟

i brought mine as a birthday gift for myself in early feb this year. and i was abit ****** when i saw the tilt. i showed my mum and dad and the only answer we could come up with was that it was to stop glare on the screen. but i think apple is starting to slack now. a few months ago my ipod universal dock failed and it took about a month to prove it was still under warrenty. it got fixed, but it shouldnt of happened anyways. (the audio out port stopped working). i dont know what to do because ive put all my songs on it and the movies i have put on have been deleted off the pc. and im only 14years old and apple probly wont listen to me. i've called up big companys before to report faults with my/their products and they allways end up being put over to my dad. and my dad will tell me to stop my ******** over a tiny tilt in the screen. it doesnt look shockingly tilted but when its sitting in the dock ontop of my PC you can see how tilted it is.

i might call them soon. but let me know on what steps i should take to deal with this problem because i dont want apple to think they can manufacture faulty products and noone would notice. i payed $213 NZD for this and i want my moneys worth. thanks in advance.

hi again. i stopped off at jb hi-fi this morning to replace my ipod. they were willing to replace it becuase i had the receipt. but there was a problem (of course). they had run out of 4gb ipod nano's.
so i have to deal with a broken ipod for 2-3 more weeks while they wait for the new ones to come in. T_T

ouch. you should call apple and get them to come and pick it up and drop the new one off.

hi. how do i tell which week an ipod nano 3g is? and can i tell if the screen is tilted without taking it out of the box and turning it on?

thanks

My ipod awoke from the dead yesterday, after a nice car incident, so this morning i decided to check the screen on mine as well. Tilted. unnoticible untiI read this thread, and now it's gonna drive me crazy,and I can't get the ipod replaced, despite the fact that's it's only a week old, because it got really dinged up over the weekend.

What is wrong with apple?! I went to 5-6 shops today. 2 were official apple stores (the online one and the apple store at manukau). 5 of the shops sold the ipod nano 3G 4GB for $239-$240NZD! And one shop (JB HI-FI) sold one for $213NZD. But unfortunately they ran out of stock because apple takes over six months to send out 4 ******* broken ipods! What is wrong with you apple!?! Sort out your ****. I got a refund for this ipod and I am seriously considering buying something else.

A complete waste of time.

You sound like a bleeding edger. The solution to your '10 for 10' problem is to wait a while instead of having to have the latest brand new type of device the minute it's been engineered. That's what I do, I wait at least 3 months for major new software revisions, and 6 months for hardware. And I'm way more than 10 for 10 in exactly the other direction. I have never returned an Apple product for replacement in almost 30 years of buying.

I can't believe it... week 81...iPod ... tilted screen :'(

plus, it is engraved ... so what should I do?

Is it possible to reclaim it and get the engraved backside back?!

The iPod should be an gift... so i really want to keep the engraving -.- but the screen is really tilted...
about one millimeter 😟

sorry: week 17 year: 2008

My Nano's screen is also tilted, and it's quite obvious. The centre select button also feels loose.

It's a refurb, but I'm still going down to my Apple Reseller to try to get them to exchange it. Hope I can walk out with a non-tilted one..

"The centre select button also feels loose."
yes... my nano has the same problem... and (yeah...) the replaced one has the tilted screen, too. surprise...surprise....

let's see what the third try will end up with -.-

i have a week 47 which was bought last year in christmas and has a small tilt possibly 0.9mm. from what ive read, i shouldn't really bother try finding a perfectly aligned ipod screen. it almost seems impossible.
