hi all,

i bought a mini in february and last weekend it came down with a major static problem. i took it to the store and they swapped it out with a new one however, how do i know when this one was made? i want to be sure it's not part of the bad batch. is there a place to check the serial number (and thus get a manufacture date) to confirm i didn't get another lemon?

thank you big.

Name: iPod Mini (First model)
Model: M9160 iPod Mini Silver
Factory: 2X
Production year: 2004
Production week: 36 (September)
Production number: 121 (within this week)

Haha, you got one right of the belt ! Cool ! Now enjoy

[iChelle]

ya no kidding! but um what does production number mean?

[d.fine]

it means that it is number 121 produced in week 36, that's all. My PB is number 21,000 and something of its week, nothing special, unless you get a number 1
