In a follow-up on my previous post on my iPod troubles i did a quick research on the official Apple forum and it would appear that scores of Shuffles are dying because they have virtually no resistance to sweat and/or moisture.
Ironically, most people use these small iPods to go running etc. One would expect a solution from Apple quickly but so far the company has chosen to look the other way.
Fixing the problem:
So one thing you can try to fix up your Shuffle is to glue or tape a piece of Saran wrap over the remote control. This method is of course not guaranteed to work in all cases but it’s better then chucking it away.
