kinda lont but please read


ok so i got my iPod mini on july 17 n yea i kept the date. i got it n it worked fine until liek a week ago. me n my friend dropped it liek 2-3 times n thats it. nothing liek really hard on the ground. n a while ago i fell off my bike but it didnt do anything then n i think if this was a problen that had to do with that it wuld've already happened a day after or something

but i turn on my iPod n i listen to maybe half of a song then it turns off saying low battery warning, even if i had juss taken it off the charger! n after it says that it has a lil folder there with a question mark. idk what to do. they're no problems updating it, the music itself is coming thru my headfones fine its juss that it keeps turnin off n giving me the apple and a folder saying its dead. then maybe liek a minute later it'll turn back on again with a higher battery level then before. lets say i turn it on n it has half a battery level, then i listen to half a song ans then it turns off syaing low battery level then it shows a folder with a question mark, then maybe a minutes later it turns itself on again and it has a higher battery level.

so idk what to do if u do can u tell me?? thanks

I think you need to get your battery replaced. Should cost about $90-$100 without warranty, i think.

Forgot to mention before moving this.
If you have Technology issues please do not post ion Xanga Scripts. Thanks.

It likely got damaged in some way when you dropped it. I suggest you plug it into your computer and run the iPod Updater software again. It will restore your entire iPod, so you will have to copy your music back onto the iPod again, but give that a shot.

my cuzin told me like if u charge it while it is still full it will think its empty when it is that amount. for ex. it is 50% full and u plug it in, the ipod will "think" that it is empty when it is 50% full. so i dunno if u did that or not.

No, that's not the case for lithium-ion batteries. Your cousin is thinking of older nickel-cadmium batteries.

Try restoring the iPod like what mipadi suggested.

If that doesn't work or if you see a sad iPod icon, you should bring it to the Apple Store. Now I'm not sure, but I overheard in the Applestore that the Mini is not supported anymore, as in the warranty is nulled for the Mini. I'm not sure, but that's what happened to this girl.

Other than that, time to save some more money for a new ipod.

It won't be nulled if a longer warranty was purchased; however, the original warranty will have run out by now.
