Charge the battery. Plug it into a USB port and just leave it there for at least an hour or four. Then try to use it. ---

go to the apple store? they dont charge anything to look at it and it might still be under warranty. you don’t need your receipt as they can just look it up in the computer. am i correct in assuming that your computer isn’t reading it’s there? ---

what gen is that? i know a few gen’s had battery issues… take it to the apple store see if they can take a look at it for free to diagnose it. then find out what the prob is. I suspect a faulty battery and if so then ebay a new battery for like 10 bucks, and swap it and you’ll be good to go. No reason to drop like 50 dollars on a tech doing it when you barely use it anyways. ---

clearly it’s a fifth gen. what are you talking about 50 bucks to look at? they don’t charge anything to look at it. ---

Perhaps you’ll get the same “tech support” jagermeister did. something along the lines of… Tech support guy “I know this is gonna sound strange, but are you right or left handed?” “Right” Tech support guy " Ok, but put the unit in the palm of your left hand…and strike it with the palm of your right hand." Jager “Are you serious?” Tech support guy “yeah, I know it sounds a little odd” Jager does and replies “nothing” Tech support guy " Hit it harder!" … So anyway… X. ---

Go to [Apple.com/support](http://Apple.com/support) and punch in the serial number to see if you are covered under warranty. If it is, then go through Apple and get it replaced. ---

If they dont fix or replace it when your there, ask them for a box to ship it back to apple in california, or ask them for the number. I wrote them a letter sayin how theyre a large company and they claim the sell quality products, and there known as reputable company and shit and just say shit like that if they dont replace the product or fix it that you wont ever buy an apple product and will encourage others not to as well. Obviously more politely than i just said but it worked for me and this john kid i know. We both got brand new ones. ---
