bediviere @comcast.net	reply to druvak I also wanted to thank you for your great tip! Mine was almost fully charged, so I don't have any idea why it needed reset, but it works great again now. Thanks again! Steve

MikeCDN join:2004-08-04 Langley, BC	reply to Need BB Thnk you so much for the info on reset, I was ready to return mine, any idea why that happens? I went to use it today, and relized the bat was almost drained, went to work plugged it into my comp to charge, and it didn't turn on. Was it becuase i let the battery get to low?

druvak @bb.online.no approval from: Dan Given	reply to Need BB The same thing happened to me. I kept wondering why it wouldn't charge, but then realised it needed a reset. On your ipod mini, toggle the hold button (turn it on and then turn it off), then hold the Menu and the select button (top part of the click wheel and the center button) for about 10 seconds. The Apple logo should appear and your ipod will start charging. Good luck!

homers0 join:2002-02-05 Santa Clarita, CA	reply to Need BB why assume the battery went dead (on 2 IPODs)? The IPOD needs a reset. You won't lose any data on it either.

I also find that switching the hold button back and forth, while holding down the play button turns it back on. -- Weather Forums

cavemonkey50 Monkey Madness Premium join:2003-11-22 Allentown, PA	reply to rjackson No, that talks about going through a charge equal to 100%. For example today you do a charge of 50%. Then next week you do a charge of 25% and the following day another 25%. That's one charge cycle. Charging it 100%. -- Proud member of BBR's Team Discovery!

The Ipod needs a constant charge of electricity to keep the hard drive spinning. It really never turns off, it just sleeps. Maybe that's what you're doing wrong. Actually it's recommended you do a full discharge once per month. »www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
