My iPod (4G) was left in the car all day as usual, sitting in the cradle. It would not power up no matter what I did, including all of the steps above. I opened it up (there are plenty of instructions on Youtube showing how) and removed the battery. Close inspection showed that he battery was bulging slightly, which I think may have been caused by the heat build up in the car. I happened to have a spare battery so I fitted that. As soon as I plugged in the charger I got the charging symbol and the iPod is working normally again. It happened to me yesterday.

It makes no sense. Here it goes... I have a 30gb video ipod that only charges with the firewire adapter(I get the animation and all). Now to the messed up part. No computer will recognize the ipod when plugged in the usb port. I have tried 5 different computers and get nothing, with Windows XP and Vista. Another thing is that when plugged to usb adapter to charge, it shows nothing animation-wise that it is charging, but yet when I completely drained the battery, I plugged the ipod in using the usb to wall adapter and it magically charged. It is not the usb cable, because it charges a ipod photo, and another video ipod. Anybond have any thoughts as to what the problem is? I have yet to find any other issue such as this on any web searches. One more thing, I put the ipod into the diagnostic mode and plugged in the firewire adapter, and it showed 1, when I plugged in the usb adapter it showed 0. I just don't get it...
