Help! My iPod keeps dying

Question

Even after its fully charged, my iPod won't even let me play one second of a song before it dies. Is there anything I can do besides get a new battery to make it start working again?

Answer 1

ipod or apple has a problem with the old ipod nanos. There was a lawsuit so go to their website and you get something like a $50 credit on itunes. The following excerpt was taken from the website in the sources.

Apple has agreed to settle a class action suit filed against it by owners of iPods who say the company misrepresented the capabilities of the iPod’s built-in rechargeable battery. Apple is offering a US$50 coupon and extended warranties to consumers who can produce a receipt. The plan is expected to receive final approval before a federal judge in August, but the details are already in place.

Answer 2

try re-starting it.

do this by holding the center button and the menu button at the same time for about 5-10 seconds. it should turn off and start up with the apple icon.

Answer 3

you need to get a new battery you'll have to send it to apple to get it fixed.  

Answer 4

The battery sounds like the culprit.  There are DIY kits on ebay that go through the steps of replacing the battery.  Most ipods, it's a pretty simple procedure.  Do a search on YouTube if you want to see how easy it is, just search for ipod battery until you find your model and you should find several decent videos.

I refurbish ipods and most battery replacements take no longer than a half hour, most less than half that.
