i have one last question while the ipod is charging i will ask this one.

my friend gave me a broken ipod nano. So i go home and connect it to my pc. it says with no backlight "ipod was very low on batery needs to charge" so it does that for a day. Then i connect to my car adapter it works take it off the adapter it doesnt turn on. I think it is a killed battery what do think.?

thanks

What exactly happens when you turn it on.

Disk Mode will always work unless there's been an actual hardware failure of some sort.

[fretmelter]

well thats the thing it doesnt turn on its just a blank screen no matter what i do

Try turning the hold switch on, then off, and then holding MENU+SELECT for about 30 seconds (being careful to keep your fingers still).

Connect it to the computer or a charger.

Turn on the Hold Switch.

Turn off the Hold Switch.

Hold Menu+Select for 30 seconds. Be VERY VERY careful not to wiggle your fingers at all. And yes, I mean a full 30 seconds.

If it doesn't work, turn the hold switch on and off again, and try holding menu+select again. Do this about 4 times.

You must do all of it, for it to definitely work. If it still doesn't do *anything* (Not even an Apple logo that quickly fades) then you probably have a hardware problem. Or are just really bad at keeping your fingers in exactly one place.
