I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this

Okay, so I have an 80GB classic ipod, I hadn't charged it in a couple days and the battery was almost dead... I didn't have my car charger on me, so I was listening to it in my car and all of a sudden on the screen it said Low Battery Connect to Power... so whatever I threw in a cd... well I forgot to shut off the screen... and left the ipod in my car... and left it on that shit all night and a lot of the next day

basically it sat in my car for at least 18 hours stuck on the "Connect to Power" screen

I realized it hella later the next day... and hooked it up the my ipod radio dock... it stayed on the same screen... I brought it with me in my car... hooked it up to the car charger it took about 20 seconds and then it turned on... and worked fine for that night while hooked up to the charger... I put it on the docking station last night all night and didn't do shit... still dead

so today I left it in my car charging for about 6 hours... got home hooked ie up to a wall charger for bout an hour... went to the gym... it turned on... but after listening to like 3 songs it shut off

basically what I'm trying to figure out is my shit just really really dead and just needs to charge for a long ass fuckin time... or did I fuck up the battery somehow and need to replace it?

I know that's a lot to read, sorry

It comes with the little plastic tool that you use to pry it open. Its kinda hard actually.

Or you can probably get it done at an Apple store, but they'll probably charge and arm and a leg, and a Foyle.

why don't they make that shit easy to open like a cell phone?

I guess they don't make it easy so people will take it to apple store and pay for it rather than doing it themselves... fucking amazing...

ITS STILL GOOD.

CONNECT IT TO YOUR COMPUTER & RESET IT. YOU"LL BE AIIIGHT. MY SHIT DID THE SAME THING
did you restore it or just reset it by holding down the menu and center button?

I can't actually restore it because when I connect it to my computer it doesn't even show up in my itunes...

I think I did reset it already... let me try it again while it's hooked up to my computer... hold on...

YEA. RESET IT THEN RESTORE IT.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LET IT SIT ON THE CHARGER FOR A MINUTE BEFORE IT'LL POWER ON FOR YOU

I fucking need this shit to work man... I can't live without my ipod... I dunno how I did it before... and I think I can only order the batteries online so I gotta wait... or just go to apple I guess... fuck
