Someone just dropped these guys on my desk at work.

She wants me to recycle them because they both have dead batteries...even tho the 3rd Gen nano holds a charge for an hour or so.

I am too lazy to fix them so they are going into our bin. She also gave me a Nokia cell for Verizon which is in decent shape.

Anyway - here's a pic.

You crazy?! It's a pretty easy fix. Repair them and use it/sell it.

The White one doesn't power on, and the nano is only 4GB. Not really worth investing money in IMO. I have a co-worker who is willing to take it though, so at least it won't be in the trash.

Where do you work? I just find it odd that either the company buys employees ipods or employees expect you to fix their personal electronics.

I normally do the same thing. Though if I can give it away to someone easily who wants it or can use it I will. Thrown away whole working pcs, extra wires I don't need, VCRs, and even a brand new working subwoofer.

She wanted us to recycle them. We will [unofficially] take small electronics for recycling every so often.

Woah, a real free ipods post, with actual ipods?

The world must be on the brink of total destruction.

I've given away a handful of Free iPods here already. I'd do another, but I am not creative enough to come up with a good contest that is AT friendly. lol

I am interested in the Nokia cell. I'll pay shipping and buy you a big soda for your trouble.

Batteries cost next to nothing, you can probably get one shipped from China for $5-10 on eBay and replace it. I had the LCD/controller go out on a 2nd gen Nano and fixed it with a cheap one from eBay. Was a PITA, but I like the MP3 player and didn't want to buy something new (so many these days have video and extra crap I don't need, all I want is something that plays music).

What quadrant of the country are you located in? Just for future iPod pickup possibilities..

Even with dead batteries they can still be used in the car or hooked to a home stereo. Hardly dead.

Yeah, I know. I am pretty sure I gave it to someone who will give it a good home. Fixing a 4GB mp3 player just wasn't worth it to me.
