    Is my iPod broken?

    I had it out at a party on Saturday night and all I used it for is showing people videos but later on I couldn't switch it off so the battery just died out. I'm charging it now but it won't turn on :s It's showing a battery bar in the middle of the screen with a zig-zag/lightning over it.

    Whats the crack? My iPod won't respond to button presses :(

    I never dropped it or spilt anything over it either.

    Edit: The normal 'do not connect' screen is on now but I'm still not getting anywhere because even though it's connected, itunes isn't detecting it :(

    read the instructions, you have to hold a combination of centre and play which *should* reset it...

    Yeah I think with mine if that happens you haveto put it on hold, then take it off hold and press the centre button, which re-sets it.
    Hope it's ok! :)

    Mine did that when I completely flattened the battery.

    Once it gets enough charge itunes should detect it on it's own, if it doesn't just try resetting it or unplugging it from your PC :)

    ok cheers :)

    I'm not too impressed that it decided to stop detecting any button presses in the first place though :evil: I had to sit on the fucking bus for 40 minutes with nothing to listen to and a really bad head :oops:
