Stuck sleep/wake button?

Hi Moomintroll,
mine did that just today.
Dunno why. Tell me what they say!

The same thing has just happened to my iPod, I m going to call apple about it tomorrow, unfortunately the nearest apple store to me is 5 hours away. Can you do a swap without being in a store?

The same thing happened to me. It was working fine until, all of a sudden, the button became lodged inside and wouldn't turn on the display. I took it to the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo, and they replaced it immediately. But the fellow at the store said this was the first time he'd heard of the problem.

Just happened to mine this morning. 3 weeks old

It happened to me too. I was really disappointed. I returned and they said that it was the first time they have heard of the butron getting stuck.

I haven't had this problem, but given the location of the earphone connector, it's natural to place a finger (and pressure) on the sleep/wake button when inserting the jack. This seems like a less than optimal design.

It does seem like a possible design/manufacturing problem. Today my sleep/wakem button just got stuck - unable to turn on the iPod Nano 6th. One minute it was OK, turned on the Nano Ok, then next time I tried the button it felt as if it was stuck in the down position.

Its lasted less than a month of careful use, mainly as a wristwatch.

Just got my rebuilt Nano back from Apple. Afraid to use it though. Sleep/wake button failed within a month, and I am VERY careful with my iPods. Apple makes you sign for delivery and the express delivery they use only drops off in the morning. Sorry, I can't take a day off to accept a package. Plus, they won't even let you hold the package at Fed Ex. I had to call the local warehouse and beg to let me pick it up. Ridiculous.

Crap..I hope mine doesn't do this *tiptoes around nano*

I received my replacement Nano 6 this morning, along with a box + a pre-paid envelope to return my previous Nano 6 with the stuck sleep/wake button.

Apple UK simply sent the new Nano only - I keep the original plastic box and all the leads from my first one. And they take a credit card number in case I don't return the faulty one.

****Hey,****
_***The exact same situation happened to me earlier only it was both of my volume buttons. They were pressed down and would not give that "CLICK" noise to let you know that you'v pressed the button. If this happens to anyone else I cleaned around the buttons and then used a pair of tweezers to bring the buttons back up....They now work just like new. I hope I saved any of you a trip to the Apple store _
_THANKS XD _

I have the problem to. But the Apple Brasil invalidate my Warranty bacause the technical assistance it said my ipod with the humidity sensor activated. I never came close to water with my ipod.

anyone have any tips?
someone of apple can help me?

You don't need to come close to water - one tiny drop in the hole where the earphones are plugged in is enough.
