I have almost the exact same problem. The only difference is that whenever i plug my ipod in to charge(doesn't matter where, same thing happens with every charger), i get a white screen and two beeps. I tried reseting and i tried restoring but none of that worked. The computer says that the ipod is corrupt and sometimes when i plug the ipod into itunes it doesn't show up and the computer doesn't register the the fact that ipod is connected. Even though the ipod is charged, i can't even get to turn on. Im thinking about replacing it but i'm not sure. Please somebody i need help with my ipod!!!
