New vintage iTrip is dead...

Hello all-

I just bought a Griffin iTrip for the 3rd/4th gen ipod that plugs in on top of the iPod & it has a screen & dial on the side. See attached pic.

Anyways, it was new in the box off of eBay. I plug it in to my iPod Photo & the screen flashes blue for a fraction of a second & then nothing. No numbers display. Nothing.

I have the iBeam laser & flashlight that both plug into the dual ports on top & those both work. I know of no one else that has a iPod I could borrow to see if the iTrip worked in that one.

So, any thoughts? Is it the iPod or the iTrip that's faulty?

I have contacted the seller to say its dead but I just thought I'd look for help here.

Thanks.

Most likely the iTrip.

UPDATE:

It turns out that the iTrip just needed the iPod reset with the iTrip connected. Turns out Griffin had a support page the seller emailed me that worked great.
