| Ishbar | So, I just got an Ipod today [ For Free ] cause it doesn't turn on...Like the battery refuses to charge at all, any suggestions? | March 20, 2006, 11:44 PM |
| Yegg | What? I was just at your house why didn't you show me? | March 20, 2006, 11:50 PM |
| Trance | You'll have to give more details about your iPod... i.e. what generation is it... If you don't know then check Apple's iPod site they've got all the information on how to tell what generation you have. | March 20, 2006, 11:51 PM |
| rabbit | Is the battery detachable (I don't know Ipods)? If it is, take it out and plug in the Ipod. If it still doesn't turn on, it's not a battery issue. If the battery isn't detachable, well..now that I think about it if it's plugged in it should turn on anyway. | March 20, 2006, 11:54 PM |
| LoRd | Replace the battery. | March 21, 2006, 12:11 AM |
| Ishbar | Its a new Ipod, 4th generation. No more than 10 months. | March 21, 2006, 12:18 AM |
| Trance | It should still be under warranty then I think, unless it's been harmed on purpose I think you can take it to an apple store and they'll look at it for you. | March 21, 2006, 12:32 AM |

[/quote] Of course they are; you just have to pop them open to do it. Click. | March 22, 2006, 5:08 AM |
| JoeTheOdd | I'd rather leave the fixing to Apple than void my warranty, because after I'm finished with it I'd probably need the warranty more than I did before I went to work. | March 22, 2006, 5:12 AM |
| LoRd | Somehow I doubt an iPod, given away for free, was under any type of warranty and if it was, it has most likely long-since expired. It is a 4G after all. | March 22, 2006, 5:40 AM |
| Trance | 4th gen isn't that old, it's possible it could still be under warranty.. especially if it's less than a year old. | March 22, 2006, 1:20 PM |
