it HAS turned on and charged fully ONE time out of....four intensive attempts. I had no problems during the time the battery had power. Once it ran out, i have not had success when plugging into laptop. The single successful attempt came after i had used it with the computer it had originally been registered with. I have had this ipod in my possesion for nine months. No drops, slams, bumps or drownings. None before that. It was passed to me with the knowledge I would be facing a conundrum.
not a problem. Tho i feel bad the explanation is so hazy. I haven't had the time or patience to sit long enough to work out what the problem might be. Better it leave me in a safe package than be thrown against a tree.........or a poor cow in frustration.
