Help!!! My Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen is not powering up...

Help!!! My 2nd gen IPod Shuffle is not powering up or charging ...Every time when I plug it in, it simply flashes in Orange for 5 seconds & it goes blank. No other light comes on, it refuses to turn on.

It also shows up as 'device not recognised' on my PC...It is not charging either. I am unable to acces it via itunes...also I tried my friends same model shuffle & it works just fine & perfect. I used my charger cable & PC on her shuffle and it works out fine. So I figured it has to be a problem with MY IPod...Please help me since this keeps me going everyday...I cant live without my music... 😟 I Have tried to reset it, but it doesnt seem to work since no lights are flashing... 😟

iPod shuffle, Windows Vista

You have done good troubleshooting and have ruled out possible causes, such as a software issue on the computer, problem with USB port, and faulty USB cable. The remaining cause is a problem on the shuffle, and since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, which is now about 5 or 6 years old (and it sounds like you use it a lot), the most likely explanation is that the shuffle's battery is worn out and has exceeded the max number of charging cycles.
