Thanks for your reply but has something had to happen on the Nano itself? Because absolutely nothing blinks when I connect the USB cable... :(
Well, looks like there's a serious problem and, of course, warranty voided last month. >:(

Llorean:
No, if the Nano is experiencing the low-power problem that it has, nothing will happen on the Nano
Leave it plugged into your computer (which must be powered on), for about 2 hours, then turn the hold switch on and off (very important), and then try holding Menu+Select to make it reboot, while still plugged in.

I had a similar problem with a nano I got on ebay that would not switch off. It got itself into an extremely low power state that required about 3x8hr sessions of charging (initially absolutely no response followed by the 'very low battery' splash screen) before it sprung back to life. I was just about to bin it when it recovered :P. Don't give up yet.
However, with a restore/firmware upgrade to fix the 'not-shutting-down' issue and a Rockbox install, it seems good ;D

I have had this happen, I have a 1st gen 2Gb Nano, Just hold down the Menu+Select button then release and do it again! Just a suggestion.

Hello everybody,
Some news from the front. This morning, my "dead" Nano was always dead, after a night of charge. BUT!
Being arrived at work, I thought : "Well, same player shoot again." and decided to connect it to the PC. I opened my case, took the thing off and... let it fall on the floor, a fall of about 40 cm! Damn, now things are getting worse and worse!
Well... NOT! I connected it and the white apple appeared!!! :D For the first time, I saw the low battery message from the Apple firmware, the Nano told me not to disconnect and after that, I had the monochrome low battery icon for about 2 minutes. Now, it's happily charging (I hope).
Now, it's time for my two last questions and I promise I won't bother you anymore :
- Am I really lucky or do the shock "realign" the battery in its place ?
- I often get the monochrome low battery icon when disconnecting from the PC, being in Rockbox mode. Never when incidentally the Nano has booted in Apple firmware when I connected it (happens more often with recent update of the bootloader, the dual-core related one). Can it be a symptom of a wreak battery?
Have a nice day!
