iPod nano 5th Generation Teardown
Any idea whether the adhesives and glues used in the Nano are designed to withstand repeated exposure to high humidity as often happens when people strap the device against their body while exercising? I owned a Nano Gen 3 that stopped working after only a couple months. Other people at my gym using their Nano the same way I do reported the same problem with their Gen 3. I never had problems with the Gen 1 or 2 and have no experience with Gen 4.
