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.

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!

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

jdimarti join:2005-03-23 Manlius, NY	reply to JoshNJ Thanks so much for this tip. I read that routinely discharging and fully recharging was good for the battery (a practice I'm familiar with for other appliances). So I let it run down, but my mini was dead as a doornail even after an overnight charge. I Googled and came across this forum and your answer. It works fine now. Thank you again.

It really never turns off, it just sleeps. Absolute bologna. Listen to an iPod next to you ear on the back, and play a song with no headphones in. You'll hear the disk spin up. Now turn the iPod off- you'll hear the power be cut from the disk. -- A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

koolman2 Premium join:2002-10-01 Anchorage, AK	My point exactly. My off-brand hard drive mp3 player has 8MB of flash to buffer the entire song and spin down the drive. If the drive spun 24/7, the battery would barely last five hours, at the most. -- A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
