Battery works but iPod won't turn on/play

IPOD 1.1 - worked for a couple weeks but stopped working -now the only button that will display any power is when you press the Battery button, pressing play or anything else just does not work!
Any suggestions?
When plugging in to computer IPOD shows up and can still add songs with Itunes.
ps. I have used it to go jogging on occasion so might have gotten "moist" - can this be the problem?

You have successfully diagnosed you own problem. Moisture got into the device through the controls and that is why it is not working. Let it sit in a warm, dry place for a couple of days and see if it comes back. If not return it through:

...and buy a sports case, otter box, or wrap it in saran wrap when you jog with it.

  • MENU button doesn't work and iPod won't turn off!!

    For some reason, my menu button won't work nor will my iPod turn off when I hold down the play/pause button.
    I've reset it, updated it, restored it and nothing is working. I bought it in the States last year so have no idea how the warranty works or where to get it serviced since I don't live near London.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Ring your local Apple dealer, My older mini done the same thing several times before it just died on me and never turned back on. So if its still covered under warrenty i seriously think you should ring apple and get it serviced to see whats wrong, it could be just a fault with the click wheel
    Try letting the battery run completly dead, then put it into a Wall charger or computer USB cable and then move the hold on and off, then try reseting it by pressing the menu and select buttons at the same time.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I can't get my iPod to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on.

    I can't get my iPod Classic to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on. This happened once before and someone told me a way to turn on by holding a series of buttons down at same time. Does anyone know how?

    dkstahlman,
    With the iPod still plugged into an external power source, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take 1 or 2 tries.

  • 1st Generation iPod Won't Turn On

    I have a original 1st generation iPod.  Yes, the one with the scroll wheel and 5gb (wow!) drive.  It doesn't turn on though.  Originally, I suspected a loose connection from the battery to the logic board, but testing with my multimeter shows me the connection is fine.  The iPod doesn't turn on at all.  I tried plugging it into my computer's firewire port and pressing the menu and play/pause button to no avail.
    I have a picture in this post of the iPod - all dead like a brick.  Do any of you have any suggestions?  I am at a brick wall right now and need to find some solution.  Or if any of you know where I can get the iPod repaired or get a cheap logic board replacement?  I can't spend too much though.
    Thanks.
