iPod: What's WRONG?

[Keldud7]

Hi there. I have the 4GB iPod mini. It won't even turn on now. It has worked fine up until today. I plug it into the car charger, and I get nothin. I plug it into my computer and get nothin. ??? I've only had it for a month or so.

While the mini is connected to power (FireWire or AC), hold down the Menu and Select (middle) button for about 5 seconds. It should reset. If not, you probably have a bad hard drive or something else is screwy...

Could be anything really from bad battery, bad screen, bad harddrive to bad Dock connector or internal wiring... If the reboot trick doesn't work, you have to take it in for repair...

Thanks! The reset trick worked. And the comp recognized it. It had a low battery when it reset, maybe it was too low to turn on? I dunno. Anywho, thanks again.
