My ipod won't turn on, even when i hold down the play and menu buttons. I tried to reset it, but the apple logo just appears and then nothing else happens. I hooked it up to my laptop but the computer won't recognise it, then the screen flashes for a second displaying an unhappy face and a link to the apple support site, then returns to the apple logo, next the backlight shines showing the sign saying "please wait, very low battery". What does this mean, and how can i fix the problem, please?

You can't post conmments that contain an email address.
N1amh, your problem could be battery related or could be other problems. Apple's website has a good checklist for troubleshooting power source problems (may be a faulty USB port or cable). In brief, if you have other USB ports, powered hubs, or speaker-charger options, try these and see if you get the 'pod to charge. If it seems to charge, but then quickly drains and you get a series of rapid beeps and then the low battery message, it *could* be a sign that the hard drive needs replacement. (This isn't a definite diagnostic). The website ifixit.com has good do-it-yourself instructions for replacing batteries, etc. and can also sell you tools and parts. I've replaced the battery, screen and headphone jack on my daughter's 30gig video ipod, at different times, and it's do-able, though it's awfully easy to break one or more of the plastic closure tabs each time you open up the case. If you need to replace the hard drive, I read on another site that you can get decent drives for around $30 new on ebay. Best of luck!

If
the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer
and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod
appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is
needed.
If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod
is not seen in iTunes, connect the iPod to a power source by either
plugging it into an Apple iPod USB Power Adapter or directly into a
computer's USB port.
Let the iPod charge for at least 20 minutes. Note:
If the iPod is connected to a computer, make sure the computer does not
sleep, standby, or hibernate during the 20-minute charging period.

Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set
it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button
is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you
are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and
not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting
iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical
outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is
turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides
back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the
left, here's how you reset:
You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round
button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see
an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will
shut off, then back on.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.) Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step
