iPod Shuffle does not switch on

Hi there,

Hope someone can help me cuz what happenin is a bit wierd! Well basically at the moment my iPod shuffle (1st Gen) works perfectly on iTunes and seems to get charged (Green and Yellow lights do get on) but once I remove it (safely) from my PC I won't swith on! I can flick the switch Up and Down but no lights no sound no battery check!

This happened yesterday and what might be the issue is that I updated it's firmware before the incident happening...which might be the cause...no clue!

So what I did is to Restore but the problem remains! What really surprises me is that when I connect to PC it seems to charge normally and I can put/remove songs into/from my iPod on iTunes!

Hopefully U can help! Thankin u guyz in advance!

The slider (switch) can get crud in it... slide it back and forth a number of times and then try switching to play in order first to see if Shuffle turns on...then shuffle ...

YOu indicated that tbattery status LED didn't light up? Are you pressing battery test button? IF it doesn't light, you have NO charge in the Shuffle.
