Hi,

I just got a used 20 GB iPod from eBay (US$300). The remote seems to behave funny. Sometimes it works fine. Other times you have to press the button 10 times before anything happens (iPod asleap??)). Are your remotes doing anything like this? And is this thing eligible for Apple service (it has been less than a year since it was manufactured).

The only thing I can suggest is that sometimes the plug will work its way out of contact with the ipod, so that the remote won't function, but you can still hear the music fine. You just have to push it back in. If that doesn't help it might be a problem with the remote itself.

I've had issues with my remote also (and some other people I know). I guess there could have abeen a batch of bad remotes, or we're just suffering from some strange twist of fate. (I never use mine anyways these days)
