Febs:
Have you tried simply resetting the iPod by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously?

weetsie:

well it was full before i started the database update but i have a good battery and it did it in less than 5 minutes, i don't think the battery would of died in that time. but if it is the battery, how long should i leave it and then what should i do with it?

crzyboyster:
This has happened to me A LOT. Here's what you do: wait. That's it, just leave it alone for aout 3-4 days and then plug it into the computer. I have to ask, is your original apple firmware modded with ipodwizard? I think that that has something to do with it. This happened to me and I panicked and was ready to go to the genius bar at the apple store after making and appointment, and just as a last try, I plugged it in. Miraculously, it started charging.

Here's my explanation to this odd (and quiet common) behavior:
The iPod doesn't have enough power to power up or to go into USB mode. If you wait, it completely runs out of battery and has 0 battery. Then, for some odd reason, and only then, will the computer start charging it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, when you press a single button on your ipod, it doesn't do anything, but pressing menu+select for about 5 seconds makes a clicking noise. If this is what's happening, then do the above. Also, note that the clicking noise will start to fade after a couple hours or a day.

Tell us what happens...

weetsie:
not even a clicking noise when i press center+menu.

BizzyDaj:
I had the same problem. I just pressed the Select + Menu buttons for like 5 sec, and i saw light=)
