My shuffle is in comma, plz help!

Question

some days ago i made a mistake connecting a power adapter inside my ipod headphones input thinking it was the minijack connector of a stereo.
after i realized i was doing the wrong thing, my ipod was still working but when i stopped using it and tried again the only thing it does until now is blink both amber and green lights but very very dim when i press any button. another thing that happens is that my pc doesnt recognize any hardware when i connect it and the baterry button doesn't work anymore. i guess i maybe burned it inside, lol.. but like anyone, i hope it can work back again.
if anybody have done such think like me, and brought his ipod back to life, could you please tell me how?
and.. if you dont have answers for me, how can i open my ipod shuffle without harming it?
i would apreciate your replies very much, thanks

Don' despair if you get this problem!
I had the same problem, Iphone4 would not turn on, when I connected it to Itunes it asked me to recover, including downloading new software and that I would loose all data (and the Itunes was up to date).  There did not seem to be any alternative so I did try to restore to the original factory settings, but the downloaded software turned out to be incompatible with my Iphone and therefore was not installed -- fortunately!!!
Because when I then tried to simultaneusly press both the on/off button at the top, and the enter button at the bottom of the front screen -- holding them pressed until the Iphone responeded (in my case maybe about 10 seconds...)  -- then suddenly the phone restarted - !!! and now works again 100%.  And I lost nothing that was stored on the phone!!  So this hard-boot worked, but I had to keep the buttons pressed for a long time (the first time I tried this it did not work, probably because I did not press them long enough).
