ipod help!!

haven't used it in a while and when i've put it on charge with the mains charger is says fully charged. when i try and switch it on - nothing. it will switch on when plugged into the mains charger but won't even charge via usb. Any ideas on whats up or anyone have a solution?

try keeping it plugged into the wall charger and reset it then let it charge up for a few hours.

tried that and it reset but still won't switch on without being plugged into the mains

sorry missed the bit about letting it charge for a few hours. will try that, reset it and left it on there, still saying charged though

sounds like the battery has failed

Maplin and other places do replacement ones, not the hardest thing in the world to replace

it's still under warrenty so i could exchange it but could do without the hassle of putting all my stuff on again. battery has only lasted six months with low usage:eek:

I know this may sound stupid - but is your lock switch thing at the top on?

no, and i've toggled it loads trying to reset it, i think i'll just have to take it back and get an exchange, not looking forward to putting all my stuff back on it though:mad:
