My iPod

[soonerbrat]

won't shut off and it keeps running the battery down. does anyone know how to fix this?

i got the dang thing almost exactly a year ago. A year and a few days to be exact. I think they have a timer that makes them break right after the warranty expires.

I think you're supposed to buy a new one.

[soonerbrat]

i think i actually got the extended warranty. i tried the troubleshooting steps...turned it off and then it turned itself back on. i guess the battery will just run down.

My Son's did that a few months ago. After going thru the menu to the sleep function about ten times, it finally stayed asleep. It's worked fine since.

[Howzit]

musta been the soaking.

[soonerbrat]

it was. warm soapy water for the ipod always does the trick.

[Howzit]

warm soapy water + extended warranty = new ipod. Been there, done that.

Did you do the whole "Simultaneously press and Hold down the middle button and the bottom button on the wheel" thing? Sometimes my wifes won't shut off and I do that and it's good to go.

So you had secks on it?

[GottaHavePride]

If you use the "lock" feature so you don't acidentally bump it while it's playing you have to unlock it before you can turn the iPod off.

I never have that problem with my bright yellow sony sportsman! Tape sometimes drags though

No problem. Hers does that about once every two weeks, and that fixes it every time. Plays like normal.

I love my SanDisk MP3 player.

Probable because I don't need any damn version of iTunes to put music on it.

Shoulda just rubbed some dirt on it.
