iPod 1st Gen iPod Shuffle is messed up!

[wangchunggti337]

My first gen. iPod Shuffle (512) is messed up. When I plug it in the lights go on, but it never mounts. I've tried running the shuffle recovery on both a mac and a PC. The recovery won't work on the mac because it doesn't even mount. It mounts on a PC and the recovery runs, but afterward it says the iPod is 'corrupted'. I've searched online and the Apple website.

Any help?

I've never encountered anything like that with my 512MB shuffle. Is it still uner warantee? You might have to give apple a yell, or just wait to see if someone else replys to this thread
