I Pod fuck up

Ok I've had my i pod mini for nearly a year now (a year on xmas) and over the past few months it's been playing up by running out of battery when I've just charged it up and stuff but all I needed to do was re-set it a few times and the battery bar would magically go up again. However this morning I think it's really fucked, it ran out of battery and wouldn't let me re-set it at all, the Apple logo doesn't even come up and when I plugged it in to my computer to charge it up, i tunes doesn't even acknowledge that it's been plugged in and it's still as dead as fuck.
Anyone know a way to fix this or is it just fucked?

Does the iPod show up in "my computer"? If it doesn't I'd be pretty sure its a lead or a software problem.
Try it in another computer with another lead.
Have you tried warming it up a bit?
Like rubbing it on your thigh, in your hands? Or putting it on a warm radiator for a bit. Even just leaving it on charge for a couple of days straight.
My iPod used to really hate me, like the battery would last a couple of songs then die, but its all good now (have done pretty much all of the above).
hahaha Buy a nice shiney Blue Ipod Nano!
Look how nice it looks...

Guys it's fucked! Unfortunately the guarantee ran out like a week ago or something!! :banghead: :mad:
Piece of fucking crap, I'm not getting a fucking i pod again! Think I'll take Nash's advice and buy a Creative Zen!
What about a Microsoft Zunee OR! The Walkmen one, they look soo groovy!
Mine still turns on and charges when plugged in, but neither itunes nor my computer read it, so I can't update it which is shite.
I need a new player anyway as the 6 GB is nowhere near enough for me anymore. I've had it for ages too, so I'm due an upgrade.
Does anyone know if the video iPods are more reliable than the Minis?
For quality?
Are you sure? I've seen the ipod video in full flow and it's pretty fucking sharp quality wise. It would be difficult to get much better quality from what I viewed. I wasn't expecting it to be so good either.
