Wait, does the lightning bolt turn into a wall plug? That just means it's fully charged and running off external power...

Sounds like a dead battery to me.
http://www.ipodjuice.com has battery replacement kits, and batteries that have better capacity than the originals did when they were new. (Alternately, you could mod it to accept rechargeable AAs.)
*waits for all the obligatory "lololol ipoods suk get a zune or sandisk pos or [insert mp3 player name here] anything but ipood" comments to pour in*

wtf is that nonsense? I have 2 iPods and they both don't do that. He needs a new battery and you need some facts to prove your pointschmellyfart wrote:You have to charge it completley off of the wall charger after you do a restore. Theres nothing wrong with the battery, you just have to charge it off of the wall power after you do a restore.

... What? You're not "flashing" anything when you update an iPod... It stores the firmware on the storage device and can sort-of boot without it. (As far as I remember it just keeps the boot loader in a ROM.) Thinking that is like thinking you bricked your PC because a new Windows install died halfway through.paul4990 wrote:well, i read that to stop any chance of bricking diring a flash the ipod needs to be pwerd of a wall, the apple shop is in town where i go every saturday so whagt will an extra few grams do to my pockets.
As long as your iPod is plugged in through USB and charging, and you're using iTunes to update it, it's fine. It doesn't need to be "pwerd" off a wall charger. If the updated firmware is giving you trouble, the hard drive may be damaged. Boot it up in disk mode and scan for bad sectors.
Sorry, but it really seems like you don't know what you're doing. rtfm.
