Nevermind, it just revived itself

EDIT: see update below

Battery was nearly full yesterday... Cant get it to turn on, even resetting, no luck... Left it plugged in to charge for an hour, still irresponsive....

;(

owned a bunch of apple products for years, this is the 5-6th ipod in the family and the first we've had trouble with...

Is it covered by a warranty or service program?

Sorry to hear of your woes. But...

You should've bought a nice, normal MP3 player for 1/2 the price. It would still be working. IPODs of all ilk are greatly overpriced and overrated IMO.

I've had the same Rio Cali MP3 player for almost 5 years now. 256MB on board, 2GB SD card in the slot. I have hundreds of tunes on there.

Does it have a fancy screen? No. But it shows song/artist/length/bitrate/time/etc info. It's been dropped, stepped on, kicked and dropkicked more times than I can count. Uses an easily replaceable AAA battery. And did I mention it still works?

Return it and buy something else. MO.

Weird, but good news.

after cursing at it profusely, it revived itself to show a nearly dead battery, guess i have a cable problem, not an ipod problem as it charges just fine when hooked to my car stereo but not when hooked into my computer...

The cable that came with my Rio still works too.

Good luck.
