    Like the title says my ipod suddenly stopped working 2 days ago and wont turn on. Only got to really have a look at it there now. Reset doesnt work. I plugged it in to the laptop with the usb lead and after 20 minutes it hadnt responded but had become unbelievably hot. Does this indicate a dead/damaged battery. Is it an easy repair or is it worth sending it back to apple? Id appreciate any help or info.

    OP have you another cable you can test to charge it. that would rule out a possible faulty cable.

    Also device can get hot while charging. Everyone has a different idea of what kind of heat is acceptable on the device. Now if it starts to smoke or burn you then its an issue

    If you dont have another cable to test, i would contact Apple and tell them of the issue. If its in warranty they should be able to organise a repair for you.

    Cable is ok. The heat is way more than I've felt before. It has to be causing damage. I got it for Christmas 2012. I assume its still under warranty.
