My iPod’s dead. And guess what? It’s about fourteen months old and so just out of warranty. Fucking typical.
[Update] - For the curious, here’s what’s wrong.
- The screen faintly displays the diagnostic tests menu but the backlight is off
- It doesn’t respond to any of the controls
- When connecting it to the computer, it isn’t detected by either iTunes or even Windows. So I can’t try a reinstall.
- When plugging it into the wall charger the display doesn’t change to indicate that any charging is taking place
I didn’t have time before work this morning to do any further tests, but it doesn’t look good.

You poor bastard. I’ve got this Samsung MP3 player which ain’t pretty but it’s survived almost a year in my bag going to and from work, so it’s fairly robust. It strikes me the Apple stuff is built to last until just after the warranty period and then fail. Which coincides with the time they launch the next model…
