Apple is my ipod fixable?

[connor_walsh]

I just recently started to use my iPod 2g (mc) 8bg again and i plugged it into the mains charger, when i remove it from the charger it turns off and wont turn on again until i plug it into the mains again (it wont turn on if its plugged into the computer either) what is wrong with it and is it and is it fixable?

I have no experience with the iPod you are talking about, but my iPod Shuffle (when loaded into iTunes) has an option to reset to factory settings when problems occur. If your iPod has this function, you might want to give it a try.
I'm not sure if this would delete files, so if you can access the files, make a back-up.

Bad battery probably, go to your closest Apple Store and see what they can do. They might recommend you a new iPod, and likely at a discount since you're replacing a current device.

Just replace the battery, you can likely find a cheap replacement battery on amazon.

Manually replacing a battery in an iPod Touch is fucking dangerous btw

You have been warned

It's not dangerous at all. Just don't do anything stupid and you're fine.
