iPod Nano - scratches


Recommended Posts

I read that this was just Scotchcal - which is the stuff they use to protect the areas of some expensive cars from scratching and so on. It seems pretty tough.

I don't expect anyone knows where you can buy strips of this stuff in the UK that are big enough to fit a regular Ipod?

Don't forget, regular ipods are hardly immune to scratching either.

Might be easier/quicker to buy the iPod version of the skin from that site mate, its not too unreasonable a price, especially with free shipping from the U$

I started this topic to help people who had or were considering buying an Apple nano. So far from myself and a few other determined people we have had the story covered by many major news outlets and websites.

They have now admitted that a batch of ipod nanos did suffer form a screen cracking problem.See here

All Apple had to do was fix the problem.

Now it seems Apple have either locked or deleted any topic covering the scratches issue. Deleting new ones as they are posted. If only the R&D staff had worked as hard as the forum staff this problem would have been avoided

for people with scratches, 1 word:

brasso

i tried the process today, and it worked miracles on my scratched nano.

beyond that, i actually called apple today to inquire about a replacement before i found this cure (which they supposively are no longer giving, only refunds), and the lady told me the scratching issue was in a "top board meeting" this afternoon, and that they were discussing serious solutions (like using better ****ing plastic!) to apply.

im just relaying what the lady said, this may not be 100% accurate...

Do you need to use the iKlear thing, or is it purely Brasso and a cloth?

u dont need iklean, i just used an old bottle of cd-cleaning spray i had lying around the house. water would probally work just as well though, but id suggest just picking up the spray for a couple bucks...

also, for a cloth, i just used an old cut up t-shirt, because i couldnt find a microfiber cloth at the grocery store. it worked fine.

the key is to keep brassoing, buffing, cleanging... repeat.

i did it for about an hour, and it removed every single scratch. you'll be amazed at how well it works.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
