Make sure you are connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on your computer - NOT through a USB hub.

Also, plug it into a USB port on the back of your computer, not the front.

The iPod will only charge as long as the computer is on. Make sure that your computer does not have some low power sleep mode that it goes into after a few minutes. Some computers reduce or turn off power to USB in those situations.

The best way to charge your iPod is to connect it directly to a wall outlet using Apples little 'Marshmellow' AC adapter.

I already read this thing in Apple support page. Everything is just fine. Im charching it with "The best way to charge your iPod is to connect it directly to a wall outlet using Apples little 'Marshmellow' AC adapter.". So the problems is none of the aboved ... I will leave the ipod to charge over all the night.

3 days charging and still nothing. Now when i try to turn it on i was just listening for buzzle (noises) from the hard drive but it looks totaly dead. But if there was problem with hard drive the ipod shoud turn on again because his firmware is stored on the motherboard or whatever is called. So give me ideas or this week i will go to apple store and give em back this piece of sh**.

I see you are running windows 7. I don't see that windows 7 is supported on the tech specs of the Classic. It also looks like you are running the 64bit flavor of Windows 7.

You should probably call the folks at Apple tech support for this.

Nothing wrong with my PC, it was working few days w/h any problems even with Win 7. The problem as i said happend after the battery die, before this i dont connect it at the pc so i think this is hardware problem. After few hours i will tell you more about the problem when i come back from apple store.
