i bought my friend's old, 30GB ipod, 8 months after he received it for christmas (he got it new, so it was in great condition). i used it faithfully up until this past june, when i bought my ipod touch. it wasn't used for about 2 weeks, then my brother asked to borrow it. it worked fine for him (for the month that he used it), and then when i got it back from him, i noticed that he had worked it over very harshly (infact, when i asked for it back because he hadn't paid me for it, he THREW it on the ground towards my feet). it's been sitting in its box for about a month now, and i wanted to get some songs off of it. . only problem is that it WON'T TURN ON. i've tried everything that apple has said, nothing has worked. it's not under warranty, and idk how much applecare costs for a small fix. i left it charging all day, to see if the battery was the problem, tried to sync it with itunes, and nothing happened.
i should also mention that my other brother opened it up today to stop whatever was rattling inside. turns out that it was some little black pieces, and something else. he didn't disconnect anything, and has done it before. so it has been opened. . and opening it won't be a big deal.
soo, i'm wondering; is there anything i can do to make ole faithful, faithful again? any suggestions that maybe some of you guys have tried and it magically made your ipod alive again? thanks in advance.
