So you said previously. However, you have not specifically confirmed that you left the charger plugged in for _at least thirty minutes_ before deciding that it isn't charging.
Im thinking it is turning off an don and not holding a charge.
You could be right, perhaps the battery has come to the end of its life. They don't last forever. If you carry out my suggestion, and the iPod does come to life but then the battery drains very quickly, that would suggest a worn out battery.
Is there anything I can do? Take the ipod apart?
I would recommend that you _do not take it apart_ unless you know what you are doing - which, since you've asked, means you don't. Don't take that personally, iPods are very delicate and very tightly packed and if you take it apart you may not be able to put it together again. Even if you do, it is possible to damage the electronics while fiddling about with it. Also, I'm fairly sure that Classic iPods have a specially designed case, which once opened, cannot be resealed. Someone may be able to add to this, but I think
early Classics are re-closeable while later ones are not.
Check this page;
https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do to find out what you repair options are. If you supply the requested information the result should be a list of Apple Service centres in your area. For a fee, they can replace "worn out batteries". There are other battery replacement options - search on the internet. I suggest you choose an option which will replace the battery for you, for the reason I gave above.
