:wallbash: I don't understand this sh1t. The PC doesn't recognise it and it can't be recharged (I remmember that it was very very low on power) and when I tried to turn it on - it didn't. I tried restarting and restoring it's memory (restoring was to no avail, cause it wasn't recognised). I reinstalled iTunes and the iPod software, even restarted the damned PC, but nothing happened.

The one thing I'm frightened is that it blinking every 10 seconds. I would imagine it fully out of power to be dead, but it's like trying to turn itself on, on it's own. What the hell? I do know that it's power is absolutely depleted (it was in reserves) and why - WHY, doesn't the PC or itunes recognise it when I connect it to my PC???
If it's low on power I think the best way to recharge the iPod's battery is to connect it to the PC usb port and let it chrge, but with it not getting recognised and not receiving any power - HOW will I ever be able to turn it on??? I got no "firewire" connection, just the usb ports on my PC.

Can anyone help me out? Why is it acting so strange, not getting recognised and not getting charged?
Any help is appreciated, btw - it's the newest thing around and it ain't been a month with me, so I'm sorry to send it to the scrap heap.

BTW: The iPod had never been fully out of power, so is there a way to recharge it and see if it still doesn't work?

Model is: MA146LL/A

EDIT: I've just read on the back of the case:

"Rechargable batteries have a limited number of chrge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings."

So WTF, it dies from being out of power???
