man the quote i got to fix my classic ipod was 80 quid or more..that's cos water got into it.

All I can recommend is someone that specialises in mobile phones and tech that would sort it for free. Or if not, just go buy a new one. I just got an itouch, (obviously a present so I didn't have to pay for it:D)

I think you can restart the whole thing on their website rather than take it in and if it doesn't work then take it in.

Yea, Guessing you've already tried, but choose your ipod and follow the troubleshooting instructions. If nothing works, do a complete reset and check to see if it is recognised by your computer.

Failing that, enjoy life as it should be enjoyed, without somebody blasting stuff into your ears. Even if it is nice stuff :)

Sis, wait till the battery runs out and try to charge it- this will :insha: work

Ask a brother who does mechanics or similar to have a look at it- even if they fix pc's- i know a few brothers who fix pc's but also ipods :masha:

If not take it to the ipod store, they check it for free- they told me mine wasn't gonna be able to get fixed but if you buy a new one and give your old ipod they give you a 10% discount.

Same thing has happened to me and thats what I've had to do.. it's happened more than once as well.. you just have to wait for battery to die.

Press the middle button and the menu button together and hold that position till u see the apple logo. It then should restart InshaALLAH.

i bought an ipod just to see how it is and i didnt like it so i returned it and the shop refused to take it saying we dont take returns on electronic things. So i came home put the ipod under water for long but it was still working fine. (it took a long time to dry afterwards lol) so i messed the usb thing and took out one or two pins and returned as a faulty. Then i got my creative zen vision m replaced which im using for a year and two months.
