iPod My iPod mini is acting dingy....... Help!!

[mojohanna]

Has anyone had their mini get "fuzzy"? I don't mean it grew hair. It almost sounds like a radio station fading in and out. I thought it might be a frayed wire in the ear buds, but everything seems to be ok there. I did a hard reset on the iPod, but that did not seem to fix the issue.
Should I restore the iPod altogether, or is the problem more sinister.........



Thanks for the help......

BTW, sorry about the stupid rhyme. Its been a long few days.....

Sorry, don't know how I managed to get that in there. Thanks for pointing it out......

Bit confused why you posted a link to start a new thread?

Sounds like a very strange bug. I would try reformatting and re-installing the iPod software onto the iPod. If this doesn't work, and you're sure that it's not your earphones (make sure you try another set) then I would contact Apple about getting it fixed.

I have restored the softeare and still seem to have the problem. If I lightly tap on the click wheel, I get the static. Almost like there is a short in it or it is not making good contact. Is it possible that the contacts can get dirty or worn out on a 14 month old mini?

be sure to try a few different sets of headphones, and once you are certian there is a problem, request a repair from either online or stop by an apple store to get a tech to look at it, good luck!
