While at the dump the other day, i was digging in the bin (this means leaning over to see what you can reach or using a long pole to hook out, or even some times if it's full enough getting one of the boys to jump in and grab quickly some thing good - all this has to be done with watchfull eye's as this is a non-seller recycle centre - the head office peps don't like the back handers going on and staff can get fired

so i saw this and saved it - 5th Gen i-pod - turned it on - yup works - next try the dial - yup works - press play - no the thing just jumped through each song within seconds

well i thought that i would plug it in to the laptop and see if any thing could be done ?

cleared and reset it with latest version of apple i-pod

loaded up my songs (1500+)

ok to disconect

and press play

it works

now i have another i-pod tio run through my boxes and best of all, it was FREE



so it leads me to the next point of why people just throw things away without even trying to fix it it had all his photo's on there - one was of him naked showed the girlfriend and she said he used to go to the same collage years ago - why did he not delete them or destroy the i-pod

like most things that get thrown away - no one trys to fix it - my 9494 came the same way - free and allfully working, so now i can run my free i-pod through it

any one that thinks that they would never dig in the bins for item's - just think what gets chucked away without a thought

cheers B

Nice grab! congrats.......

excellent stuff, nice one.
Just a software upodate & reset did it?
crazy.

I've got to know, which dump do you visit?
...don't worry I won't be along there, I don't have the luxury of the time!

yup - clear old stuff and reset - i'm not teccy at all but it is some thing that the guy could do himself

just guess he went out and bought a new one

oh well i get a new toy for my boxes

Aldershot and Farnbrough is the only two that can sell - sorry mate can't say on the other one's as to protect my contacts

NICE!!! You were in the right place @ the right time. Don't ya love it when that happens.

Nice-especially seeing as you got it for fee

I have a 5th gen iPod as well-mine's a 30GB.

Hey BC, do you live next to a dump or something? you seem to be at the dump or going through the trash a lot.

Although with the stuff you've been finding, I don't blame you one bit...

no worries, just wondered what area of Surrey. My nearest are Redhill & perhaps Epsom at a push. Nothing there at all...


...I still have this Panasonic RX-FM27 if you're interested , drop me a PM & we can arrange a meet

iso not forgotten about it thought i was waiting on a pic as you said you had to find it

pm price ?

will pm for a meet soon mate

Stormin Normin

i do gardening for age concern and have to get rid of all the garden rubbish - so it works out sweetly - that way if the top dogs are there, i just dropping off and they can't do any thing about it

the other thing is you have to check weekly if you can before others/ before it's crushed, or rained on

belive me a lot of boxes, that you buy on ebay come from dumps and the same with bmx's - price will go up 3 to 4 time what they pay - think about that

Talk about MANNA FROM HEAVEN!!! Wow, 1500 songs!!! What type of music did you download? You've got me wanting to check out the garbage bins now!!!

Hes doing the "inside job" thing.
Shhhhh...

That's amazing! iPods are so expensive to buy, even second-hand ones.
