How can my iPod be dead?

Hi!
I just bought a 60g Black iPod video, I took it out of the box, used it for about 3 hours then battery needed to be charged, so I plugged it up in my computer before going to sleep. Three hours after I plugged it, I checked on the screen and the battery was still charging (nothing abnormal at this point). I then decided to go to bed and leave the thing charging.
When I woke up, I checked my iPod and realised the screen was black. So I thought: Okay, it must be recharged.
I then wanted to load new songs in the computer and was surprised to see that the thing refused to turn on.
I check the "Hold" button, but everything was correct.
I read this site's FAQ, when it says that you must leave it layed down on a flat surface for about 24 hours. That' what I did, but nothing happened.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Could this be because I don't have a USB2 port?
I'm now thinking of buying a Power adapter, but I dont want to pay $35 without being sure that this could fix my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply,
But I already did read the whole thing before posting in here (didn't want to waste everyone's time with a question that could be answered by reading the FAQ)
My concern is, How can my iPod be dead after being charged for several hours? Nothing appears on the screen, that thing is totally dead. Oh, and did I mention that It is BRAND NEW??
This is the first time that I'm buying an Apple product and this may also be the last time.
Anyone experienced that problem before?
Thank you for your time,
Andre

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Windows 98 does not meet the system requirements. You will not be able to use iTunes and get the iPod+iTunes experience.
You would have to do something like this...

How can I see ONLY dead files in my library (newest Itunes update)

I want to find all of my dead files in one place so I can either delete or find them. I keep seeing ways to use smart playlist to find dead files, but when I try to do that, the Smart Playlist options won't let me. I can only assume it's because there has been at least one update since those answers were posted. Can someone help me out? I have a lot of files to go through.

This technique should help you identify which entries need to be removed or repaired.
Lost & Found Playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
Or try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

HT1206 how can I deauthorize a dead machine or one I cannot access?

The computer literally failed before I could deuath anything. I apparently have 1 more authorization left.
I had authorized a work machine a few years back, but IT took it and scrubbed it or junked it.
Why don't users see a list and just select from there?

There is no list, nor is there a need or a way to deauthorize the dead computer, until you reach the limit of 5.
At that point you can deauthorize all, then authotrize the active computers.

How can I deauthorize a dead pc

I have a PC that died. Can My Itunes library be somehow recovered?? through apple maybe??

Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download your music purchased from Apple (and if you are in the US, UK, Canada or Australia then TV shows as well) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music bought from other sites or copied from your own CDs, then unless you signed up for iTunes Match then they won't be stored anywhere by Apple - have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive ?
In terms of de-authorising your account on the computer, then you can have your account authorised on up to 5 computers at a time, and your account can only be individually de-authorised directly on a computer - though once every 12 months, when you've reached the 5 computer limit, you can de-authorise all and then re-authorise those computers that you still have and need : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

How can I fix a dead Firefox?

Since my last Firefox update I have not been able to run Firefox. In fact, I can't do anything with it! Can't uninstall, reinstall, nothing. When I try to open Firefox I just get an error sound. I've read through lots if solutions & none work. I can't open the browser window, so any solution that requires that, will not work for me. Firefox file properties states that I have version 23.0.1.4974, & my OS is Windows XP Professional. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You link has you turn on disk mode on the iPod. iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) do not have disk mode.

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on?

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.

Its probably just as you said, it's dead. I mean the battery.
I have a second generation iPod and the battery doesn't hold a charge long. So yours must be really struggling with the battery.
You can send it off for a battery replacement, or as is expected due to the cost of doing that and with standard manipulative business thinking, you could just get a new iPod like a good little customer.

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

i cant get started my ipod nano 5th generation,is dead ,how can i repaire it

As I said in my previous reply:
You either have to enter the ID and password of the previous owner or get them to remove the device from their account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
I would return the iPod for a refund. If you can't then turn it into the police since it is worthless to you
