My problem is that the iPod does not turn on. Everytime I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a warning sign.

IS MY IPOD DEAD?!?!?!?!?

I think I have the previous iPod Classic with a black glossy front and I am pretty sure it is glass at the front. My problem is that the

iPod does not turn on. Every time I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a

warning sign along with the Apple support website. At the same time I can hear the internal mechanics which is also very loud. I have attempted

to charge it as well as connecting it to itunes but no success. Could you please help?
