....if you've got an old 1st Generation iPod Nano.
Because of battery problems (bursting into flames!) with the 1st gen iPod Nanos which were released in 2005-2006, Apple have set up a replacement program.
All you've got to do is go to their site ----> Apple - Support - iPod nano Replacement Program and enter your serial number. They will then check your serial against the affected batch and if yours is one of them they'll send you a box so you can return your iPod to them for replacement.
I've read in various places that Apple are replacing the faulty iPods with the latest generation Nanos, but I've also seen some reports that they will only replace with 1st gen Nanos or will simply replace the battery in your iPod and send it back to you.
(although I don't think the latter is true because Apple have said that personalised iPods will be replaced with non-personalised iPods).
I managed to find mine yesterday and its one of the iPods that needs replacing so I'm just waiting for a box from Apple and I'll be sending it in.
So... worth a go if you've got an old one sitting around doing nothing.
