Mac Forum / General / Hardware / September 2004iPod mini issues...Not great quality
Hi, I just recieved my brand new iPod mini, and I was not impressed by the quality. I bought it from Dixons online, in the UK. For a start, there was some glue on the click-wheel, very dificult to remove, and it would leave some marks on the white click-wheel. Then, the iPod would not connect to my PC using USB but only using firewire. On USB, nothing happened (no charging, no detection)...I updated the firmware, did multiple resets & restores, but no results. I do have USB 2.0 on my computer, and I have several USB 2.0 devices that do connect properly. I also tried on other computers. The [Menu] button on the click-wheel would not work, although the wheel itself did (even at the top), so no way to go back to previous menus etc. However, I could do a Reset which does use the [Menu] button... Finally, the iPod would not go to Diagnostic mode, it would only reset. I hope I was just unlucky and the replacement will be much better quality...

Miles Hi Tom I've heard of the sticky crap issue too - on the click wheel. Doesn't it just suck? Luckily my friends have been able to get it off.
