my ipod touch 1st gen turns off without warning. It isn't the battery, because I can turn it back on without plugging it into a power source,

You say that, but what does the battery indicator show when you turn it back on, full, middle or low? Once you turn it back on, does it turn off again, and if so, after how long? Watch the screen, just before it turns off, what level is the battery?

(Once the unit turns off, the battery has a chance to recover, a bit like us recovering after a run.)

If that's not the problem, have you tried a Restore?

You didn't answer my questions!
1. What does the battery indicator show when you turn it back on, _full, middle or low?_
2. Once you turn it back on, does it turn off again, and if so, after how long?
3. Watch the screen, just before it turns off, what level is the battery? (Full, middle, low, red!!!)

Personally, I think it sounds as though the battery is worn out. In other words, it's at the end of its life.

You say it's refurbished, which would suggest a replacement battery. If it's still under any warranty from the refurbishment, I would claim on that. Possibly, any replacement battery put in may have been faulty.

If you purchased it as a refurbished unit and it's still under the refurbishment warranty, then take it back to whoever you purchased it from. If that was Apple, then check the https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do page which will check the warranty and suggest service options that may be more suitable than going to the store. That will depend on where you live.

How long does it take? I don't know, but it will depend on which option you take I guess.

Honestly, Phil is right. But I think it would be a smarter idea to let go of the iTouch 1g.. I mean its, refurbished, no speakers, you need a new battery. It's like a car after the transmission hits its limit. It's time for a new iTouch. If you want to wait until a new iTouch comes out, then go for it, but for now I suggest getting the iTouch 2g. It's only $199, and you can buy a used one on ebay for less.

Hi! My iPod touch that I just got for Christmas will turn off randomly while I am using it. The battery is not dead and it has a scratchy, almost static look when it turns off. It happens mostly while using the internet. Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance for the advice.
