This is faily typical...

Aug 01, 2011 22:43

This happened early last year. This was the first iPod I broke. I dropped it on the floor. Straight after doing that I noticed that all my music sounded completely and utterly different.
So I made the mistake of taking it to the shop I bought it from. Mostly to see what was wrong with it and if it was fixable, I didn't care if they fixed it.

Einstein said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Also, I don't understand why you took it there (especially so many times) if you weren't expecting anything to be fixed? Did you just need an official "it's broken"?

Wait, so the headphone jack was broken?

Between this comment and the tags, I really wish that LJ had a "like" or "love" button.

Totally off-topic -- who did the sketch in your icon? It looks a lot like the work my friend Jeff does.

lallerbina August 4 2011, 02:35:35 UTC

My friend Joobr did it one day - it's a sketch of me, apparently, but I think that it is much prettier.

That's my understanding, too. Which was loads of fun when I was in college; my eMac (looked like a big CRT monitor, weighed fifty fucking pounds) had that capacitor problem, but the nearest Apple store was three hours and another state away. I felt sorry for the tech who had to drive out to my campus, especially when the replacement logic board was also faulty and he had to come back the next week.

I have no idea, I don't use their products. That sounds appropriate, though - most of the things I buy make me call customer service and have only their preferred techs look at it or it violates the warranty.

What was the famous song?

bimbo_zombie August 2 2011, 00:46:18 UTC

I have a number of famous songs. You need to be more specific.

genno August 2 2011, 01:34:22 UTC

But I asked the question.

derbysinner August 2 2011, 02:11:24 UTC

in your post, you said you played "an uber famous, well known song, that everyone knows the entire lyrics and score to unless they are Exclusive Brethren or something."

You know it's broken, right? I mean, how many people told you it's broken?

So why do you need this particular store to validate your suspicisions of your iPod's status so bad? Just go to another store, or, you know, trust the opinion you already have and just accept that it's, um, broken.

bimbo_zombie August 2 2011, 00:46:56 UTC

I did go to a different shop. Same result.

bimbo_zombie August 2 2011, 11:56:47 UTC

Which by the way I clearly pointed out MANY times in the OP. And to think the taxpayer wasted their money on your education.

ansela_jonla August 2 2011, 15:57:56 UTC

One line, that's easily lost in your artsy little "one sentence fragment per new line" bit is not "MANY times".
