I Pod Classic just stopped working!!! : ( WHAT DO I DO?????

I think we have maybe used this ipod maybe less than 20 times and it just has gotten to the point where it won't work. I cannot turn it off, it won't charge- it's sits on this screen with a battery level in red with a orange triangle with an exclamation point and says "charging, please wait..." it has been doing that for a few days. I have hooked it up to regular power charger and USB to a computer with ITunes. Nothing. ITunes doesn't even recognize it. This is just really irritating me , because of all the apple products I have- this one has been the biggest pain in the you know what. It has the least usage and the most problems? What is the problem with that picture? I cannot reset it, it won't charge- what do I do? It was working fine, got frozen in playing or going to a song- used all of it's power frozen and won't recharge.

Some USB ports (at the front of the PC, USB Hubs, one of the Notebook ports) are low powered and don't have enough juice for your iPod. The Wall charger maybe faulty, unless it can charge another iPod successfully.

Normally it will take at least two hour, to charge the iPod to 80% capacity.

Read this Apple Support link for your case.

But if your iPod is still under warranty, (used less than 20 times?) bring it in to Apple Store.

Good Luck!

Then perhap your iPod battery is dying, Apple recommends that iPod battery should be fully charged at least once a month, or else the recharge cycles is shorten.

But have you Reset the iPod, by Pressing Menu and Center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo Comes ON then release the buttons.

Here is another support doc on Battery problems, I know, you would most probably have gone through it.
