iPod Mini #2 (1st gen, 4gb, blue) not working
This one doesn't power on. The charging screen shows up when I hook it up. I try and reset it (while connected) and it pops right back to charging screen.

All trade offers will be entertained.

I honestly don't know. It won't power on.

If I plug it in to a wall adapter (or a computer) the charging screen comes up. If I try resetting it while it's connected, it flickers and comes right back to the charging screen.

I connected it, the computer doesn't recognize it (either in iTunes or in Disk Utility).

Did notice, after several minutes connected, it switches to the apple logo and keeps flashing (like it's rebooting and failing.)

Am I better off throwing this sucker on ebay?

Maybe so.

I bet you could find someone looking for parts
