iPod/MP3 Player Suggestions

[GlasgowBandit]

Morning all,

I have damaged my iPod beyond repair and it needs replaced quickly I have been gaving a look at some sites online and some of the items I have seen are quite expensive.

Any suggestion on what I could by that gives value for money? 

It doesn't have to be an iPod or does it have to have video capacity.

Just a quick question before you replace it, why do you think it's beyond repair?

Mine seemed to pack up mid Singapore flight, and didn't work for nearly 6 months..

The day I was going to replace it I came across and article about similar things happening and the advice was, as a last resort... to BANG it very hard on the desk 3 times - top right hand corner of the iPod. Well, after about 12 very hard whacks (and a horrid noise coming out of it) it suddenly sprung back into life, and is working as good as new.

Might be worth a try.

If in doubt.  Smack it!!

I had it in Milan with me and spilt a can of beer on it, and when ever I try and charge it no charge seems to go through,  the battery symbol comes up on the iPod but nothing happens.  I will go and give it a whack just now - see if it works!

I have an ipod thats been packed up for ages, makes a funny wurring sound and an unhappy face.

Do you bang it corner on or flat but just catching the corner?

I'm not to bothered about the ipod but i had loads of music on there that i don't have anywhere else.

[GlasgowBandit]

Well the banging didn't seem to work.  I skelped it a few times it made a little noise almost like a car purring but still no power seemed to go through.
