New ipod shuffle dead?

I purchased a brandnew ipod shuffle a month ago, and I was very happy with it until yesterday;

I hooked up my Shure headphones at the dentist's and heared one millisecond sound and then nothing. I thought I just forgot to recharge it for too long and thought nothing of it until I got home : it doesn't charge, the lights doen't go on and it doesn't connect to itunes either.

My ipod touch does all of the above, so it must be a hardware failure with the shuffle.

I don't have the receipt anymore because I never thought I might need it...what happened???
