  1. Probably not worth it - six years old, it'll cost you more to send in than just getting a new one. I know I was quoted originally $300 or so on an iPod that was worth around $400.

    Have you checked out any second-hand places? Usually you can pick up gadgets and things pretty cheap (well relatively anyway) if you know where to look. I saw an iPod with 30GB hard drive going for $120. Was almost gonna pick it up at that price.

    What's its problem?

    Depends what's wrong with it. If it's hardware failure, buy a new one. If it's dead because the battery has given up, they'll probably replace the battery for something fairly reasonable, well I just checked and it's £40 in the UK...

    I'd try and force something out of it before you go and spend your money. Drew posted a link above. Sergio mentioned DFU mode. There are a set amount of options to recover a dead iPod, if none work, then it needs to be updated.
  8. If it is hardware failure, they won't give you a new one if you've had it for 6 years - because it is likely that it's out of guarantee. They will probably just send the old one back and then you would have to buy a new one. If it's a battery issue on the other hand - which I think is most likely - then you can actually buy a new battery for £20 (if you search around, you might even get it cheaper) with the tool to separate the iPod so you can get in the middle. I believe it is easy to actually replace the batteries too. But if you are a bit worried about doing it yourself, you can always get Apple to do it for £40.

    It might not even be battery or hardware failure, it could be anything as mentioned above.
  9. It shouldn't be a battery failure if Kirsten hadn't noticed any dicrease on batterly life and overall performance... Had you, K?

    no I haven't. It recharged within a few hours and then lasted for two days even when I used it a lot. So all was good there. The only issue it had for a year or two was that it "hung itself up" after a while when watching videos on it. Nothing else.
    I'll take the time to try out your ideas mentioned above, guys, thanks a lot. Will let you know if I succeed in anyway
  11. Good luck with it, Kirsten
  12. Installed a new ROM on my phone, Android 2.3.5 sporting HTC Sense 3.5. I've always been a fan of Sense, but this blows me away. A lot of elements still present in HTC Sense 4.0 but a much better experience than Sense 2.x

    The ROM is to all intents and purposes the Desire HD ROM. Which is an upgrade from the Desire ROM I used to run. Just hope battery life can keep up.

    EDIT: A test run earlier proved to be successful. A lot quicker than the old ROM, hopefully it remains that way when I load it up with apps.
