Just over six months ago, I bought an iPod Mini<\/a> (then a few months later I started lusting for the new iPod Nano<\/a>). Well, today my iPod Mini died. I was driving home when I got a call on my mobile phone. I pressed the iPod’s pause button, took the call on my phone, and when I went back to the iPod the screen was blank and I couldn’t turn it back on. I thought maybe the battery was dead (it shouldn’t have been as I charged it last night and had only used it for about 2 and a half hours) but when I got home I found that it doesn’t respond to power either. I’ve tried resetting (turn hold on, turn hold off, then hold the play and menu buttons together), but all to no avail.<\/p>\n
