Ipod won't turn on

My Ipod won't turn on. I got it 3 days ago, it was fine for the first 2 days and now it won't turn on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Does it show that it's charging when plugged in?

No, it doesn't show that it's charging. Any ideas? Thanks

Do you have a power adapter you can plug in an outlet to try?

unfortunately no power adapter. Do you think I should just return it ( bought it at walmart and I'm pretty sure they'll just replace it) .

It could be a bad cord or the iPod itself. If it's easy to take back, then you might as well...
If you don't have another computer to try it on, then your options are limited. But they should replace it for you.
Good luck!

If you are plugging your iPod into a front panel port on a PC, sometimes a PC does not provide (enough) power through that port on the front for charging. Try plugging your Ipod directly into a port on the back of your PC. Might help, won't hurt. If it's your USB port, then getting another iPod won't help....
